Hello I have a Question,  How do I put Music Videos on a DVD using DVD Builder without creating menus and sub-menus.  I just want to be able to watch all the videos when the disk is inserted in the DVD player.  I have tried this with no success before.  Is there a way to bypass all the menus that have to be inserted.  I tried to insert all 15 music videos in the intro section,  it will encode 3-4 videos with no problem but 15 it will not.  it will create a ISO and another file sharing the space and when burned the disk will error in the middle.  Is there a way I can fit all 15 or more videos without menus.  if so please let me know otherwise can i know how to put these videos onto the DVD without errors,  as there are many music videos it is different then other clips or home movies.

Thank you and it would be appreciated to anyone who can help

There is no limit on the number of clips you can put in Intro but there is a time limit.

V6 Builder Limits:

60 minutes at Low Compression, Est Project Size 3.385gb
95 minutes at High Compression, Est Project Size 3.354gb

There is no workaround in V6. In V7 & V8 there is, but keep in mind both require XP or W2K.

Thanks for your reply James,  It really helps,  I do have further questions after reading your reply.  Is 60 Minutes on High Compression also the limit on V7 & V8.  Also what kind of workarounds are there in V7 & V8.  Can I disable the sub-menus using those versions?  

Also doing some math,  60 minutes of music videos I assume would be around 12 videos being that each video is around 5 minutes.  When I inserted 12 videos the dvd estimated 2.755 GB on a 4.7 GB dvd disk.  So the remaining would be approx. a little under 2 GB.  Can you tell me how much the dvd builder needs left over so the dvd can be made,  because you said the est project size is 3.385 GB which still leaves a balance when using a 4.7 GB disk.   Can you please explain the math because it would really help me determine how many videos I can fit on a disk.  also knowing if there is a difference in any other version with the quality and compression.  

Thanks again.  Hope to hear from you soon.

The 60 minute limit is with Low Compression in V6.

V7/8 are complete re-writes and are as different as night and day! In fact you do your editing in VideoWave then move to Builder (v7) or MyDVD (v8).

Both limit you to 120 minutes per Title, however 1 hour is a physical space limit for Best quality for all 4.7gb discs. (720 X 480 @ 9mbps)

In V7 the trick is to burn to file then use Disc Copier to burn to disc, allowing it to re-render to fit. About 3 hours is the most reasonable.

V8 I am a little hazy on. I think 2 hours is the limit no matter how you do it??? Browse the Topics there and see what has been said.
