    I got a question. I'm trying to get a lot of episodes on one dvd with DVDLab Pro. What I can't seem to do is make the videos play in order. Say movie 1 finish movie 2, starts play movie 2 finish, movie 3 starts etc..

    Generally after one episode is Finnished Playing it should Go back to the Main menu were you can select another Episode...

    If you don"t want it to Do that then try Joining all of the Episodes together as a Single Big Mpeg-2 file and Load it into DVDLab and Put a Chapter Point at the Beginning of each episode and Put a Button and a Link from the Main Menu to the Beginning of each episode so that way you can still select which episide you want to watch but it will also Play from Beginning to end without going back to the main menu after each episode.....

    This is the way i do it and it works well...A Good Mpeg Joiner is "Womble Mpeg2VCR"....

    Cheers

    hmm I'm trying to look for another way to do this since I got all my video files encoded already. I don't want to join and encode all of them again. Isn't there a way to do this in DVDLAB Pro? I tried the playlist and linking the connections already but I can't get it to skip to the next movie with the next button.

    I think this is what you have to do to get the next file to play at the end of the Previous File...

    First go to the "Connections" window and Highligh your "Movie 1" and then look at the bottom of the Connections window were it says "End Link" set that to "Movie 2"...Now highlight "Movie 2" in the Connections" window and set the "End Link" to "Movie 3" and so on..

    Now when the episode gets to the end it will start playing the next episode instead of going to the main menu....

    Let me Know how it turns out....Cheers
