I have completed two productions in MyDVD and want to burn both onto the same DVD.  I can get one production on the DVD-R, then it finalized and pops out.  I've tried several methods of saving to the hard drive, then burning, but these eliminate the introductions (menu page).  I used Disk Copier and tried to do a video compilation, but still only get the movie portions of the production without the Menu page.  It seems like there ought to be a way to get more than one complete production on a disk. The disk is more than large enough to hold my productions.  Any help is most appreciated.

A production in MyDVD is a full production except for the items that need to be put on a disc for it to work on a DVD player.  You cannot put two productions on a disc and have it play.

Are you trying to create a disc using video files, image files (slide show) or both?  You can add each of the items as a "movie" to get two of them on a disc.  

The best way to do what you are trying to do is to work in Video Wave.  It will both video and slide shows. You can save those projects and then add both to one menu in MyDVD.

You confirmed my suspicions.  Thank you.  I am using only image files with audio.  I have saved both productions as .iso files.  If I understand you correctly, I can bring these files into a new Video Wave production and separate them with a marker (I read this on another post but am not quite sure how to add a marker), then send them the MyDVD as one production.  Then they will show up under one title menu, but in different submenus?  Or do the files need to be .dmsm files to do this?  I'm eager to try this.  I appreciate the assist.

An ISO file is an exact image of what is on a burned and authored DVD.  If you have the dmsm production files, simply open MyDVD and add them both to the menu and go from there.  It will be the easiest; the other way are work arounds and may get a little tricky.

This is from EMC 9 but I think Copy and Convert Video will work the same.

Thanks.  I think I've got it licked!  I had to end up using the ISO file because I hadn't saved a final copy of the .dmsm.  It was tricky, but I figured it out and learned a heck of alot.  Your assistance helped get me on the right track.  Appreciate it very much.

Great.  Stay around and help others when you fell comfortable about it.
