PLAY ALL and INDIVIDUAL LOOPING TRACKS

Can't figure out how to do this and could use some help. I have two pieces of video. I need to have the option on the menu of playing each one individually and when the do they loop back onto themselves. Secondly, I need to have the option to play all tracks and have the play all loop back. Here's a layout:

Button 1 - Plays Video 1 only and loops continuously back to Video 1
Button 2 - Plays Video 2 only and loops continuously back to Video 2
Button 3 - Plays Video 1 then Video 2 then loops back to Video 1

Peak in the manual on the use of Stories. They enable you to re-use tracks as there own individual title. Very useful in situations like this.

Yup - I agree with Eric. You need one track and two stories only, put both videos into the same track one after the other. Put a marker on the track at the point where the two videos join.

Now, in story 1 put marker 1 (it'll be in place when you add the track, you don't need to add it). Set the end jump of the story to go to the story container (not the marker). Do the same for the second story - add the marker from the join and get the story to end jump back to itself.

Now for the 'play all' - simply point the menu button to the track, and set the end jump for the track to go to the track itself. Point button 1 on your menu to story 1, button 2 to story 2 and button 3 to the track as described.

If you have lots of markers in each video, put all of the ones for video 1 into story 1, and all of the ones for video 2 into story 2.

If you then want to be able to play a single marker from a track and return to the menu you can do - use more stories to achieve this.
