    I have used the original version of Sizzle to author DVDs and it works fine. However, I am trying to remember the format for the custom chapter times, i.e. hh:mms:00?. I keep getting errors, but I know I got it to work once before.

    Can any one let me know. thanks

    Im pretty sure you would do it as follows

    00:01:00;00:05:00;00:10:00

    would give you 1 min , 5min and 10 min chapter marks

    try that and let me know

  3. Frames are separated from seconds with a dot (.) instead of a colon. No zero before hours. The following creates 2 chapters marks, the first at 1 hour and the second at 1 hour 10 minutes.

    1:00:00.00,1:10:00.00

    The following creates 2 chapters marks, the first at 30 minutes and the second at 45 minutes.

    0:30:00.00,0:45:00.00

    Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a go.

  5. I forgot to mention that if you want to be able to navigate back to the beginning of your title with the chapter back button on your DVD control, you'll want to make your first chapter mark all zeros. Here's an example with chapters at 0, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes:

    0:00:00.00,0:15:00.00,0:30:00.00,0:45:00.00

    thats an excellent point!

    the version of sizzle .1 actually has an example of the time format required and says just sparate with (,)
