I have been experimenting with PD9 build 2330 and it was previously not possible to combine multiple projects with PD9, or at least I couldn't get it to work until now. Cranston had made a tutorial on combining pds projects using PD8. Here is his link to his tutorial.

The only difference that I can tell when doing this with PD9...once you COPY the first project...you need to move the Blue Scrubber bar on the timeline to the point where you are pasting the contents of project #1. This is a bit different than using PD8. It automatically pasted it at the end of the first project.
With this new build I have been able to combine projects (pds files).
For example:
1. Open your project #1
2. Highlight the entire project using the orange triangle markers on the blue scrubber bar. (see tutorial for details)
3. Select COPY......the copy button will appear above the timeline once you highlight it.
4. Now open Project #2...select YES when prompted to merge the media libray with the new project.
5. Move the Blue Scrubber bar to where you want the contents inserted in Project #2 and click PASTE.
6. The entire contents of Project #1 is pasted into project #2.
This worked for me...give it a shot. you just may need to experiment and plan on which project you start with. Once you combine TWO projects you can then highlight the combined project and then COPY this and paste it onto another...and so on and so on.
Once you are done...burn your DVD
Hope it helps....but Cranston gets the credit in my opinion!!

Kevin
