ConvertXtoDVD chapters

[zak_swan]

I'm trying ConvertXtoDVd out and it looks really good.
But i added 2 avi's (to make one movie) and it made chapters for the first avi then the second. eg 5 then 5
how do i make it add chapters from start to finish eg 1 to 10
do i have to join avi's before i put them in ConvertXtoDVD? would this cause sync issues?

I joined the AVI's with virtual dub and got sync issues on the second half of movie.
So i think best option is to just add the 2 avis straight to ConvertXtoDVD but dunno if i can get chapters in sequence from start to finish.
Does anyone know?

Each file will be a seperate title, but you can always just import the two titles into authoring software that supports authored DVD material (TMPGEnc DVD Author does, and I'm sure a few others would too), add both titles to the one track and your chapters should "merge" so to speak.

No problem

that worked a treat the first time (which was about 5 weeks ago)
now when i try to open the folder with tmpgenc author to join titles i get an error in chinese.

(forum searched for "tmpgenc dvd author divxtodvd error" )

I have received this error message from time to time. I don't know what causes it, but the fix I've always used has been to get rid of all the IFOs and BUPs that DivxToDVD / convertxtodvd creates (just leaving the VOBs), then renaming the VOB set(s) to VTS_01_* (obviously if I have multiple VTS's I need to copy them to seperate directories) and recreating the IFOs using http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko/test.htm#ifoedit . I then import each VIDEO_TS folder and they import fine after that.
