DVDAuthor chapter point accuracy?

[DEmberton]

Does anyone know if it's possible to specify chapter points with a great accuracy than 1 second with DVD author? It appears to just take HH:MM:SS.

You won't get any better than I-frame accuracy, which is generally every 12-15 frames unless an I-frame has been specified for the start of a scene. So with accuracy down to the second you will be only half a second off anyways.

I don't use it myself, but a quick read of the docs for DVD Author and DVD AuthorGUI shows accuracy only the second, which would imply nearest I-frame following the specified second.

GUI for DVD Author talks about it's extended chapter editor, which allows for fractions of seconds. This might be what you need to look at. It looks like it can be downloaded as a seperate standalone if you do your own scripting. You can read about it here https://www.videohelp.com/~gfd/ChapEditGFD_eng.htm

Thanks. Hadn't thought of the I frame thing, which does make sense. I'll check out that tool.
