Chapter help

[Kryptic7]

Ok, so I ripped Planet of the Apes and sucessfully converted it into 2 800 mb files using the SVCD template for NTSC Film under TMPGEnc. Then, following Sefy's guides, I wanted to add chapters to the SVCD using TSCV. So, I followed the procedure and burned the two files. However, the chapters were off! Does anyone know what went wrong?

I was confused a bit when telling TSCV how many frames each video had. When I loaded the .vob files in TMPGEnc, I obtained a number of about 85000 frames per disc. TMPGEnc recognized it as an NTSC Film movie so it worked out fine. However, when I loaded the SVCD files into TMPGEnc, it detected them as 29.97 (probably due to the 3:2 pulldown when playback) so there were more frames. At the same spot in the movie, it was about 110000 or so frames. Which one of these values do I input into TSCV?

I decided I should stick with the values I got from the .vob files. The first couple of chapters were ok. They hit right on target. However, the others start to deviate further and further away from the mark. I'm not sure what I did incorrectly.

To complicate things, I ended the first SVCD at the end of a chapter. So would I have to delete a chapter when making the SVCD under TSCV? Thanks in advance.

PS: Sometimes I will hit the "skip chapter" button on my DVD player and I will return to the beginning of the movie! Is this normal?

Can anybody help me on this? Thanks.

To find out the number of frames in each part, make sure you first set TSCV for the correct number of FPS your movie has, you need to set that up manually BEFORE you open your MPG file.
Then, load your MPG file, double click it, and use the movie slide bar in the Chapters menu to the end of the movie, and then you'll see the amount of frames on the right side.
To add the chapters to your second part, make sure you set TSCV that you have 2 CD's, and keep the number of frames for the CD1, and then do the same thing to detect the amount of frames for the second CD.
