Problem w/Music/video compilation BD project

Robert P wrote on 1/7/2013, 2:16 PM
I tried creating a Blu-Ray disk with multiple files by using a Music/Video compilation in DVDAS. It plays but while advancing from one file to the next works within the preview applet within DVDAS, it doesn't work on a set top player with a burned BD.

Any advice on making a project using multiple files?

Thanks

You put markers on the timeline in Vegas (or DVDA for that matter) at the cursor position using the M key. Give each marker a name that you want to appear in the scene menu button. When you render out of Vegas, make sure that you have "save markers in project file" ticked. Render the video and audio out separately in formats that DVDA prefers, so that it won't re-render your files. The markers are stored in a sidecar file with the same name as your video and audio files, but with a .sfl extension. Make sure all three (or four) files are in the same folder.

Then go to DVDA and create a new project with menu. From the explorer pane (or Windows Explorer), drag your video (or audio) file to the main menu. This will create a play button. I usually make it text-only and label it "Play". In the left hand pane showing the structure of your menu, right-click on the icon that looks like a piece of movie film and select "insert scene selection menu". This will create your scene menu, with multiple pages if necessary, and a scene (chapter) menu button on the main menu.

Then tidy things up to your liking.

This is a project using multiple video files.

You have not made clear what your objective is:
You have multiple files - why don't you bring them into a menu based project. Then you have buttons for each file.

OR I heard you say that you want chapter scene advance in your original post...then follow the example I just quoted by creating your single video in Vegas.

Ultimately what I want to be able to do is make a disk from these several video files withing DVDAS, be able to start playback from the menu page but have the advance button allow the viewer to go from one file to the next, without having to combine the files into one long file.
