This question may have been previously addressed; but I couldn't find it.

I have several "scenes" (captured from an .AVI tape) that were edited and saved as individual .dmsm projects in VideoWave. I now want to "link" these saved files together in MyDVD as one .dmsd project. I can successfully add the .dmsm files to my .dmsd project as individual movies (buttons) but can not figure out how to link them to play as a single movie. I would also like to add transitions and an overall music track that plays through all the .dmsm files I added. I previously read something about this but could not get it to work and not find it again.

Can anyone give me a step-by-step?

Output all but the first dmsm project to mpeg2 files(DVD, best quality). THen launch myDVD, add the first dmsm project and then add the mpeg2 files. The dmsm file and the mpegs will appear as separate panels in the storyline and you can add transitions as well as audio to cover the whole movie.

Unfortunately you cannot combine dmsm projects in myDVD to create a single movie.

Thanks for the "trick" Walt. I will give it a try.
Any chance that you and other senior members could lobby for a more straight forward method?

I followed your lead and was successful in adding multiple files (.dmsm & .mpeg) to play one after the other in a .dmsd project, along with effects, text and background music.

Thanks once again for your help.
