I built several Videowave projects and saved each one as a separate DMSM project. Now I am thinking about the DVD and do not want so many menu titles (buttons). So far, the only way out of this is to "Add Title" and then stack up other projects by using "Add to Selected Title". Is this the only/best way to do this?

I may be wrong, but I do not think DVDBuilder will allow you to add additional DMSM files to a title using the Add To Selected Title feature.  I believe only video files, such as MPEG, DV AVI, etc, can be added.

I think will you have to output each of those DMSM files to a video file using Videowave and then add those video files to the selected title.

Someone please correct me if I am way off base.

When you output the production, make it for DVD authoring/ best and it won't have to be rerendered.

There is one more thing you could try.......Just don't show those other productions on the menu.   You could 'shrink' the title so that it's no more than a dot on the menu.   Also eliminate the title under the 'dot'.  You could even move it to the bottom of the menu so it won't show.  

Then make certain that you have 'play next title' selected and when the first title is selected, it will play continuously.

Right again! In my haste to resolve this situation, I had neglected to see that DMSM projects were not showing in the media selector for "Add to selected title"- only raw files. So the point is, work in small projects but be mindful of what you want in your DVD production. I'll get the hang of this yet!!!!


       Thanks yet again for the help!
