Apologies for forum Moderator being absent for months

The MSZ Forum moderator (which is me), has been unwell for months. I am slowly getting better and will attempt to reply to all messages as soon as possible. Full message posted here: www.moviestudiozen.com/forum/announcements/3653-explanation-for-moderator-absence-on-the-movie-studio-zen-forum

How to create Menus in DVD Architect for different video selection?

Is it possible to create a menu so that when you create a BluRay disk you can maximise the space on it. For example, if I create a holiday dvd to say Scotland which takes up very little space on a BluRay disk, can I create a clickable menu which would then take me directly to my next trip to, say Wales and another to France. I hate wasting space on perfectly good disks!
So something like:
1. Scotland
2 Wales
3. France
etc.
Thanks!

Hi Baillon999

This is very easy to do!
I can't remember which versions of VEGAS you are using, because this may change how you do this.
In older versions of VEGAS that were 100% integrated with DVD Architect, the rendered video would be exported directly into DVD Architect.
You don't want to use that method when adding multiple videos to the same DVD project.

I have an old tutorial that lays out all the main steps here:
www.moviestudiozen.com/free-tutorials/dvd-architect/how-to-render-video-dvd-bluray-menus-sony-vegas-pro
If you already have all your separate videos rendered and ready for import into DVD Architect, go directly to STEP #9 in the tutorial above.

Import all videos into DVD Architect, by right-clicking Untitled (DVD disc tree) and selecting Insert Media.
Once all your videos are showing in the disc tree (left internal menu), you can simply drag and drop them onto the Main Menu screen for your DVD project.
From there you can import custom thumbnails for each video and/or change title for each video.
In my example, I deleted the TEXT elements and just used Thumbnails for Menu items.
