Hi, anyone know how to make a music video DVD/VCD that can skip to the next music video like where CD's can skip to the next song?
Is this possible? it doesn't have to be a DVD/VCD... just any kind of video file, but when you open the file you can watch it and then skip to the next or next next music video like CD's skipping to the next song. Appreciate it if someone can help!
 
For DVD, you can either export them as a single timeline and then work with chapter markers . . .

Or you can export them as single videos and define end actions for each of them.
 
A media file's end action determines what happens after a media file is finished playing.



Command
Determines what happens after your media file is finished playing:

Link
You can link to any menu, media file, and chapter point. Use the Destination and Destination chapter, Destination item, or Destination button controls to set the target.

Stop
Your DVD will stop after the media file stops.

Destination
When Link is selected in the Command drop-down list, choose the menu, title, or playlist that will be displayed.

If no menu has been displayed, Most recent menu will display the first menu on the disc.

Destination chapter
or
Destination item
When your end action links to a video, music compilation, picture compilation, or playlist, choose the specific chapter in the destination file that will be displayed.
When your end action links to a menu, choose Start or Loop Point to indicate the point from which the menu will be played.

Destination button
When your end action links to a menu, you can choose the button you want to use as the default selected button in the destination menu.
If you choose Default, the first button listed under the menu in the Project Overview window is used as the default.
Set audio track
Choose a setting from the drop-down list to choose which audio track will be played in a destination title. Choose No change to use the last-set track.

If you use the Set audio track control to change the audio track, the new track will be used when you navigate between titles unless another button action, end action, or user action (via the remote control) changes the track.

When setting up your project, we recommend using the same track sequence for all videos, picture compilations, and music compilations. If necessary, insert empty audio tracks to maintain the track sequence so that the DVD will continue to play the same track number when you transition playback between titles.

Set subtitle track
Choose a setting from the drop-down list to choose which subtitle track will be played in a destination title. Choose Off to turn subtitles off, or choose No change to use the last-set track.

Are these settings for DVD Architect ?? Just that i didnt see DVD Architect mentioned anywhere. Might mislead newbies into thinking all these terms and commands apply within the vegas environment.
 
Yep, those are for DVD Architect, but a lot of the ideas (end actions, etc.) will apply to other platforms as well.

Always amazing & appreciated when someone takes THAT much time & detail to explain things so completely.
