chapters with procoder 3

[thecrock]

Hi all, been a while.

Do any members know how to set chapters in procoder3. I want to set chapters once every five minutes.

Peace

I have been using DIKO but since Imoved to Vista it's not as reliable. Diko was giving me excellent conversion between 23 fps to 25 fps, no visibe stutter at all. Procoder gives me great results also but I can't figure out how to include chapters. Another thing with Procoder is when I don't use the wizard, I can't suss out how to get my conversions down to fit dvd5.

Anybody?

Maybe add the chapters with a separate dvd authoring tool?

Hi Baldrick, I was thinking that the chapters were added during the encoding process. So I could use TMPGENC DVD Author to add chapters, yes?

EDIT: Yes, I just tried it, automatic chapters every fifteen mins.

Peace

Chapters are added during the authoring process. What you can do with encoders is ensure you have an I-frame at the point you want to put chapters later, so you know they will be where you need them.

Thanks chaps. I authored to mp2 using procoder and then used tmpgenc dvd author to add the chapters.

Thanks again.

Yes, you you do chapters when you author. I thought that procoder maybe had some basic authoring.
