Problem with creating menus in sizzle

[jhempel]

Hi,

I'm very new to this sort of thing and am trying to use sizzle to create menus.

I create an image with toast 6 and save the files it creates and import those into sizzle. I don't create menus with toast becuase I want to manually input the times in sizzle. However, when I change the time on one and go to add a chapter and change the time on that, the former reverts back to one minute incraments.

If anyone has any insight on this it would be appreciated.

Thank You.

im not quite sure i understand what you are saying...

how many titles do you have in Sizzle?
for each title, when you click on the title then on the CHAPTER buttons you can add as many as you want and put in the times for the chapter marks for that particular title.

can you be a little more specific please?!

I would type in the time for chapter 2, go to input chapter 3 and chapter 2 would change to 1 min

do the same from 3 to 4 and 3 would change to 2 min.

I know my last post was confusing, I was trying my best to describe the problem. Hopefully this will clear things up a bit.

Thanks for your help.

odd...



I just imported a sample .m2v, clicked on the Title and went to Chapters, i put a value of 5 min for the first one, hit ENTER and it accpeted it as 5 min. Then I click + and double click on the time, entered 10 min hit Enter. It didnt change the 1st one. Then i hit + again, double click on the time and enter 20 min, hit enter. it accpeted and didnt change the time.

Is this how you are doing it?

perhaps you should reinstall sizzle?!?!

Yea, I was doing it the way you were doing it. I went and re-installed sizzle and it was doing the same thing.

Here's what I did to fix the issue:

I was just deleting the entire number, but instead of doing that, I just changed the numbers that needed to be changed and it seemed to accept it.

I definately appreciate your help on this, it's been driving me nuts!

Another question that I have is this. I created the mpeg2 with toast and saved the file that it was converted to. what i've got was a .mv2 and a .aiff, do I need to convert the .aiff to mp2 and then mux the files with something like mpeg2works before I can import this into sizzle, or can sizzle take the aiff files.

thanks

ahhhh see all i was doing was just changing the numbers, not deleting out the template of 00:00:00.00

per the .aiff i honestly dont know! just try to add it, if its not greyed out im sure it will work.
ive only ever added .mp2 and .ac3 to sizzle so I know those work.

if it does accept it you would not need to mux the files, just add them like they are.

make since?
