issues burning a dvd with 4 files

I have 4 music videos I'm trying to put on a dvd.
I sent each video from fcpx to compressor and made a sharing 1080 hd. I then imported each file to compressor and used mepg-2 dvd and ac3 settings on each file.
I selected all and hit summit. I also selected each file and clicked "create dvd"
The files render and then the mac asks me to insert a dvr. Problem is it only burns the 1st song or file.
It's not making all 4 files into 1 dvd.
What the heck am I doing wrong?

You need to go into FCP, drop them all into one Timeilne, with Chapter Markers, then go out to DVD.

That blows. That was my next step.

know anything about this problem?

I have been making a dvd of my band in the studio. As we over dubbed sections on the studio recording I have been uploading the video clips and sync ing the them. I did a pass of editing the video and have been working on it to tweak the video clips to my liking. The problem is when I replaced the audio with the final mix that has been master the audio does not play.
I have to goto each cut and turn it back on. WHat The hell! I can't seem to get the audio back on. The video is the only thing I cut up. The audio needs to play all the way through the video. On another music video I did the same thing. I imported the new audio mix by add angle and placed it under the original audio track to line it up correctly. I then drug the new track over the old replacing the old with the new. This worked. Problem is when I lined up the new audio to the old I deleted the old and did not drag the new over the top of it.

It doesn't blow, it is actually very easy to deal with. Go into each Project, select all, create a Compound Clip. Name the CC whatever the song or what ever is. Start a new Project, and from the Event Browser drop these CC's in order into the new Project. You can even create a Smart Collection to show only your compound clips.

Replacing audio after the fact is incorrect workflow. You should have added it before editing the multiclip in a Timeline, then set it as the active audio angle, then set to only cut video angles. After the fact, you can't add it to the multiclip to work the way you're thinking.

But it would be very easy to simply add that audio to the Project Timeline the Multiclip is in, as an independent clip in that timeline, and mute the multiclip's audio.

Will this make it so I can't change edit points on the video?

It's been a very long project where I keep adding footage and the audio track is being added to.

The work is incomplete when the first edits are being made.
It makes the workflow a bit harder.

I am an audio engineer and don't know the program very well. I took on a bit more than I should have. Recording Engineer,playing,shooting and editing.

Adding the studio track to the Project Timeline, the audio is separate from the video. You can change the video all you want and no effect the audio.
