Any way to have a page listing the main episodes and then chapters within them?

I have two 1/2 hour program broadcasts related to one another recorded that i would like to fit on one DVD (running time after editing is 23 minutes each).

I know that they can be viewed as two chapters and titled accordingly and will show up as two buttons on the menu template i choose. I would like to have chapters within each episode.

I would like to know whether i could show the two episodes lets call them A and B, on the first menu page for selection (clicking) and each click could then lead to menu page 2 or 3 (page 2 if episode A is selected and page 3 if episode B is selected) . These pages (2 and 3) could then contain a numbering of the chapters for their respective episodes for direct access.

Hi Sanjit,
I know that this is possible with DVD Lab Pro 2, but haven't used the Cyberlink products enough to to know if PD or PP will be able to do it.

I presume you are using Power Director 6? I spent the money a few months ago to upgrade from version 4.xx after the attractive function to create my own templates was touted as a feature, only to discover that I cannot "save as" normally by defining a file path in Windows from Power Director OR "open" a user defined template in Power Producer v3. Very disappointing. So now of course in order to get what I really want, I will have to spend more money to buy the upgrade for Power Producer which was not available when I purchased the upgrade for Director. The answer to your question as far as I know (I'm sure you've already figured it out, but maybe by breathing some new life into this post something good will come of it) is NO.. you cannot put separate "movies" onto one DVD from Power Director. That can only be done in Power Producer with the "Import -- Video Files" selection on the Content (DVD) Screen. I hate that I have wasted so much time and money on a simple task. I didn't want to have to go w/ another company, but I think that is what I may end up being forced to do. When I first purchased Power Director, the Produce command opened up Power Producer. Now the two programs are almost completely independent of one another.

If anyone knows differently, please advise.
