what file type is your source? VIDEO_TS folder, .mpg?

This one is TS folder, I've used mpeg's before, multiplexed.

Same thing happened.

add a track is different from add a clip btw. one track can have several clips. you want four tracks, with one clip in each (each edited and chaptered differently). the 'add a track' button is in the top left of the screen. each time you press it you'll see track 1, track 2, track 3, etc.

for a dvd you'll have to add the TS folder 4 different times, so you'll need free space totaling 5 times the space of your dvd (4 temporary files and one output VIDEO_TS folder).

I don't know what else to say other than read tutorials and experiment on your own. It ain't rocket science, especially with such a user friendly program as this.

Thanks a brazillion. That's the answer. Add a track.
It worked.

I thought I said that 13 posts ago.

Good to hear you figured it out eventually.

Yes but I thought adding files or source were tracks. I didn't know you meant click tracks top left. I had added a first play track before but it had never occurred to me to click the add track button.

I knew I wasn't doing something right.
