Authoring a DVD
Okay so i'm new to editing on the Mac. I have just edited a wedding using FCE, exported my several chapters and have just designed my disc in iDVD. Problem, when the chapters play the revert back to the main menu at the end of each chapter, and I can't find anyway of making it play the next chapter directly. I've done a search on Google and someone recommends adding the chapters as slideshows instead, tried that but don't get full screen.
So, what other options/software can you recommend. Do I need to invest in DVD Studio to do what i'm wanting to do or is there a cheaper way? Regards, Carl |

Checked that, there's nothing in the help files, that's why I googled it. From checking on the Apple iDVD forum, It appears that this is a restriction of iDVD, the only workaround is the slideshow tab, but this doesn't exactly do it right. Carl |

It sounds like you exported separate quicktime files, which will be considered "tracks," not "chapters." A track will revert back to a menu unless it is told to "endjump" to another track. I don't think this is possible in iDVD.
If you want standard chapters then just keep your whole video in your FCE sequence intact as a single track and use the marker (M key) to specify "CHAPTER" markers. I've never used FCE but I'm assuming this feature is included. You won't need a chapter marker for the head of the sequence. The process is simple:
