    Hi,

    I'm using IFOEdit to 'Author New DVD', everything worked fine except the chapter points failed. That is to say there are no chapters at all on the finished DVD - as if none had been added.

    I've authored about 50 DVDs using IFOEdit, always with chapters and never had a problem before. I even wrote myself a little Java utility to calculate the correct frames.

    The frame rate (PAL = 25), movie length, and number of chapters, are all correct, and the chapter points were calculated to give me a new chapter every 5 minutes, the final one is approx. 4 mins before the movie ends - I've double checked all this, and authored the DVD twice with the same files getting the same result of no chapters both times.

    Can anyone think of a reason why this might have happened? Here is the contents of my chapters text file.

    ----------
    0
    7500
    15000
    22500
    30000
    37500
    45000
    52500
    60000
    67500
    75000
    82500
    90000
    97500
    105000
    112500
    120000
    127500
    135000
    142500
    150000
    157500
    ----------

    These all showed up correctly in IFOEdit's chapter points text box.

    What could be wrong? I am stumped!

    Many thanks.

  2. Don't use a '0' as chapter in your chapters text file (it is automatically added by ifoedit).
