When burning vcd/svcd I use tempeg to make the mpeg compliant, and strip audio from video. I then use ifoedit to author a new dvd.
is there a way to create a chapter.txt file for use in ifoedit?
i tried using a chapter list from a movie similiar in length but it comes out all screwed up (ie. chapters are 30 seconds long)
TIA

I asked this question a while ago and the answer seems to be no. I'm personally very frusterated with the total lack of good authoring software for under $34,000. I'm content with simple chapters without glitzy menus and even that seems not easily possible.
DVDit makes me want to throw-up. Templates!? Give me a break! The kind of people who make movies just might be the kind of people who want to make original DVDs without cookie-cutters. Anyone share this feeling? Anyone know "the way" without dropping 34K on the "real" authoring software?

I hear ya...
Seems every piece of authoring s/w has one great quality, but the rest is crap. If only there was a piece of software that took all the pluses from the othere programs and incorprated it into one kick ass authoring tool.
There has to be a way to create chapter points for use in ifoedit. I mean it seems to easy not to be able to do it. I have screwed around with txt files and almost created them. Does anyone know, or can anyone create something that will generate a chapter list, using runtime, and chapter time as variables?? -
IfoEdit needs a simple way do incorporate chapters. I'd like to make a DVD that you pop in, press play, and can skip chapters. Nothing fancy for now. That seems very basic and yet with IfoEdit I can't figure out how to do it. The tutorials ALL assume that you are ripping a DVD. That's a horrible assumption. It would be nice if someone with some mad IfoEdit skills could do up a tutorial explaining how to make a simple DVD with chapters ala making a basic VCD with tracks. Please! Someone!

Little overview of editing and authoring sofwares here:
List of all video editing tools with all important features
MYoung, maybe you can expand it with your experience.Pinnacle Studio 8 and DV home video editing (ver.9 already home) -
Yep, one of my favorite features of VCDeasy is the ability to add chapter points at fixed times, frames, intervals, etc. For most of the stuff I do it isn't worth the effort to build extensive chapter menus, but it is nice to be able to just kind of skip around. Automatically building a chapters list is great for that.

Can you use VCDeasy for DVD chapters ?
Pinnacle Studio 8 and DV home video editing (ver.9 already home) -
Pretty sure it isn't possible, but I can't say I looked that close. VCDeasy is targeted at VCD and SVCDs. It has the tools to do xSVCD stuff that essentially makes for a DVD mpeg file, but I don't think the chapters would carry over. You might be able to make an xSVCD with the chapters, then chapter extracter, then Maestro..... but my head hurts just thinking about that.
