VCDeasy Chapters Question

[weasyl]

Hi all,

I have a question about installing chapters on my SVCD backups using
chapter Xtractor and VCDeasy. I break the movie into two parts for
two discs. However, the break isn't always near a chapter. When I do
the chapters for the second disc, should I make the first chapter after
the break the start offset or should I make the break the start offset ?

ie: Movie runs 2hrs and I break into two 1hr parts.
Closest chapters are say 55:10 and 1:04:00
Do I make the start offset of the second disc at 1:04:00
(meaning next chapt after the last one put on) or do I make
it 1hr, followed by the rest of the chapter stuff.

Weasyl (sorry if I am unclear, I will try and clarify, just tell me)

do I make it 1hr, followed by the rest of the chapter stuff.

Yes - In this example, this will give you a chapter break 4 minutes into the second disc, which is what you want.

I typically try to split the mpegs at the chapter break closest to the halfway point - because I don't like to switch the disc in the middle of a scene. But that's just my preference - it is a little more work.
