Chapter 2 Getting started

Multiple titles
Here are four movie titles that are linked together using End Actions so that they play in
succession. Movie 1 is designated the First Play and starts playing when the viewer inserts
the disc into the player. When Movie 4 finishes, its End Action tells the DVD player to stop.
Each movie can also contain chapter points. Due to limitations of the DVD-Video format,
the viewer can only jump from one chapter to another within each movie; the viewer cannot
jump from one movie to another. One way around this limitation is to place a chapter point
close to the end of each movie. This works well when the end of each movie fades to black
for a few seconds.
Another way to link titles together is by putting them in a playlist. See ““Play all” menu
button” on page 16 for more information about using playlists.
Single menu and multiple titles
In this project, Menu 1 is designated the First Play. The menu has buttons that link to four
movie titles. When a viewer inserts the disc into the player, Menu 1 is displayed until the
viewer activates a menu button; then the movie linked to that button starts playing. Each
button link has a
Link End Action that causes Menu 1 to appear when the linked movie
finishes.
n
The DVD-Video format allows up to 36 linked buttons per full screen menu, and 18 linked
buttons per wide screen menu. DVDit Pro HD prevents you from exceeding these limits on
any menu.
