Where do you put chapters on your non dvd rips?

[richie_r1ch]

I know when ripping a dvd you can just get the chapters from the ifo files. But what about when you cap a movie off of vhs or tv? I have a couple of movies I gott of HBO that I want to author to dvd but don't know how to got about inserting chapters.

what do you guys use? do you just set the program to add a chapter after a every 3-5mins or do u preview the movie and add a chapter after every scene change? seems kinda time consuming but that's what i'm leaning towards

Chapters are done in the authoring process. Any decent authoring tool like TMPGEN DVD author or DVD-Lab can do this.

It's all a matter of choice. When I add chapters I usually insert one every 10 mins. If you want to spend the time you could insert chapters at different scene changes. I only use chapters to make it easier to find were I left off in case I can't finish the video so 10 mins. is perfect for me.

depends on how much I care.

for stuff that I go to an effort to make nice, I put in chapter stops wherever it seems appropriate.

for stuff that I'm just archiving, and don't need fancy menus, intros, etc. I have some chapter files, saved by length, that put a chapter in every 3 minutes.

Pretty much the same here. Normally 10 minutes (I just let MF2 handle it). On occasion, I may tweak it a little bit to hit a "good" spot.

Every ten minutes is good enough for me.

I usually stick 10 chapters in because TMPGenc DVD Author has a 10 chapter Layout that looks nicely proportioned on my TV.
