adding DVD chapers by TIME and not SCENE

[choirislife923]

is there a DVD authoring program that lets me add chapters by the time (aka...a new chapter every 10 mins)? I use DVDlab and Ulead DVD WS 2, but both of them only have adding chapters by scene and not by time. Adding chapters by scene doesn't work for the videos I produce since I crossfade alot, which hurts the program sensitivty to scene changes. I always end up missing chapter points where they are most needed...

IFOEdit and TMPGEnc DVD Author can both do it.

Both Ulead MovieFactory2 and VideoStudio 7 provide auto chapters set by time or you can navigate through the clip and manually set them where/when you want based on time

DVD-lab will add chapters automatically every X mins, or you can set them manually wherever you want. The only restriction is that all chapter markers must be on I-Frames. This is true for all DVD Authoring apps tho, not just DVD-Lab.

You can also list your chapters in a text file and import them into DVD-Lab.

Just go into WordPad and list them on single lines like:

00:10:00
00:25:30
01:06:15

I prefer this since I type better than I scroll.
