Playback Issue

[John*]

I burned a DVD using MyDVD - DVD no menus project. The project has 43 videos edited with VideoWave. When I play it on a DVD player, there are nine second blank screens between the videos. I burned it a second time and played the DVDs on two different DVD players with the same results. Any way to get the videos to play seamlessly?

First of all, thanks for taking the time to help me out. I followed your instructions and the result is there are no gaps. I had to re-edit all 43 videos, but it was worth it. Thanks again!

It may all depends on how you added the 43 videos! Did you add them as 43 separate movies or all as one movie?

 

Do you mean nine blanks one second long each or blanks that are nine seconds long?

I added them as 43 separate movies. There is a blank between each movie that is 9 seconds long.

Try adding them as one movie. Do a test first with adding only 5 or 6 movies. Select the movies you want to add and when you are asked whether you want to add them as "One movie" or as "separate movies", choose one movie.

I will give that a try tomorrow night. Thanks for responding!

Will I still be able to maintain chapters using this method? What I was hoping to do is have a DVD with no menus and 43 chapters so that it plays continuously, but can be forwarded to subsequent chapters.

NO! It is either 43 separate Titles or One contiguous Title.

 

You will have to go through and locate the chapters separately, or…

 

Load all clips into VideoWave in the order you want to play them.

 

Then, in Timeline View, click on clip No 2 to highlight it and notice the scrubber jumps to the beginning. Then click the ‘+’ sign to Add a Marker:

 

 

Do this wherever you want a chapter – 43 times or more. Save the VW Project.

 

Now open MyDVD and Add that VW Project you just saved. Right Click on the Title button and select Edit Movie.

 

It takes you to a VW looking window but notice that says MyDVD at the top and there is a ‘Back to MyDVD’ button too!

 

 

You will have to right click on each Marker and select Convert to Chapter marker.

 

When you go back, Right Click on the Title Button and select Edit Chapters. This will show you the results of all your efforts!

 

Watch that edit chapter, it always defaults to Update Chapter Menus every time you go in there

 

If you pay attention to what you are doing, this should not be too bad.
