Multiple video tracks in DVD Maestro

[heideki]

I have a problem to add multiple video tracks into the same DVD in DVD Maestro. It's no problem to import the video files to the same project, but when I'm about to add the 2nd file to a different video track Maestro claims the GOP structures in the angle blocks in the two files to be incompatible. The files are DVB-recorded or AVI-MPEG-decoded with the same software and with the same GOP settings.. So what's the problem??

The extra video tracks are there for multi angle movies.
On the left screen ,right klik to add a new movie.
And use movie2 to add your 2nd file.

Msc_Alex is right. If u need a second video for your project, click on the movie button to create a second movie.

If u need a second angle of the same movie, u have to make sure that both videos share exactly the same GOP structures and GOP themselves, ie each and every corresponding GOP in the 2 video must be identical.

This is acheived by specifying fixed GOP length, closing each GOP, Don't detecting scene changes etc. The topic is described in detail in the relevant chapter of the Maestro manual. CCE has a button in its video tab for multiangle video.
