Chapters problems also with Ulead DVD plugin

[waldok]

Hi again,

While I'm at it, here is a problem I HAve when creating a SVCD with chapters on VideoStudio 5.0 with the DVD Plugin.

SVCD creation works fine, SVCD plays fine, I have a menu for selecting a chapter OK.

But while watching the movie, if I hit the "next chapter" button, it comes back to the "chapter selection" menu. There is no way I can jump from chapter to chapter directly.

Any help on this will be more than appreciated cause it's the only thing that prevents me from having a great SVCD with true chapters.

thanx a lot

Waldok.

And I always thought that this is the normal behaviour with the "next chapter" with SVCDs. This Button works only with MiniDVs.If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Really ? Well I didn't know that. I thought this would go just like DVDs. It you are right, then sorry for the dumb question (Man, that's a huuuuuuuge disappointment for me, I was so close to perfection with my SVCDs

Thanks for your reply !
Any confirmation ? (not that I don't trust you Dragonsf, but hey, two advices are always better than one

Hi waldok,
you shouldn't trust me at that point, because it's just an (aquired) opinion of mine - I'm still learning matters.
I visited a Philips site about SVCD menus, and it sems, that only tracks can be changed with the prev/next buttons. So chapters (and this is only an assumption) must be on different tracks (mpegs). I feel disappointed like you but didn't find any way to change this. Maybe someone with more insight can correct me (I would be happy )

Hi Dragon,

Look at my other post about TSCV problems with chapters, it seems wa have a specialist called themamboman, wh gave me explanations on how to solve my prob with TSCV and it seems that it is possible to use a SVCD as a DVD with chapters. I'll give it a try tonight and I'll let you know !

Thanks

Hi Waldok,
I'm looking forward to your test.If you got success, I'll be happy too, because it's really a pain always to go back to the chapter menu.Let's see what happens.
Cheers

Hey dragon,

I forgot to let you know, but it just works great, thanks to a terrific piece of software called TSCV.

Giv it a try, and soon you won't know what you are watching : is it a DVD or a SVCD ?

Ciao.
