VCD toolkit won't place chaptermarks

[yumagah]

I'm trying to make a VCD with chapters. I follow the help
guide for VCD 2.0 toolkit here exactly. I create chaptermarks, drag them to events, drag the events to a menu, drag the menu to the volume master window. I run analysis it gives no errors. But when I build I get a warning for each (14 of 14) chaptermark that it could not be placed. The CD bin image seems to be okay - I run togsplit and it works, GEARPRO burns the cd okay. But the resulting VCD has only one chaptermark at 13:13:13 where I did not put one! The menu image comes up okay, but only the play button
and the one chaptermark work. What am I doing wrong?

Download MPEGSequenceMaker in the tools section. Your video may not have any sequence headers which I believe the chaptermarks need.

MPEGSequencer won't accept the .m1v video file that TMPGenc split out from my original MPEG. The console also says that the file has only one GOP in it, near the end (whatever that means). Also I read in an earlier thread that if I do add chaptermarks, then the tocsplitter program might not work anymore????
Ugh!
Adding chapters to a VCD is seems to be INCREDIBLY complicated! I have downloaded VCDImager, Video Pack 4, VCD 2.0 TK, and Iauthor, and so far can't get any one of them to put in chapters and give me a usable file.
I am getting the hang of using VCD 2.0 Toolkit and wish it would work with my MPEG file. I extracted this MPEG from a custom VCD I had made. I can make copies of the VCD easy enough, but adding chapters - MUCH more difficult!

Actually, adding chapters is easy, but your video seems to have technical problems. GOP stands for Group Of Pictures. It consists of an I-Frame, several P-Frames and B-Frames. An I-Frame contains a complete image, the other frames have less info. You may want to look at the GOP Structure settings in TMPGEnc, especially the output interval of the sequence header.

If I recall correctly, some versions of TMPGEnc did not do sequence headers properly, so you may want to check on that.
