Chapter (Next/Previous) Problems

Post by bdbssb »

I have went to create disk(DVD), I have added videos, and I burned the dvd to my hard drive. However when I replay the DVD(Power DVD) the Previous/Next buttons do not do a thing. I have found similar problems on this board however not this exact problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Are the "videos" different titles? A DVD can have up to 99 TITLES (movies or programs) and each title can have up to 99 CHAPTERS. The << and >> buttons move between chapters, but not between titles. Could that be the problem?

I was going to say much the same thing as DVDDoug -- what exactly did you do when you opened the burning module? Did you actually make a menu? And did you also choose to make both chapters and a chapter menu? Depending on how you made the menu, the DVD will either continue to play each video as it comes to them, or else it will return to the main menu on the DVD after playing each video, so you can choose which one you want to play next. But as Dough as has already said, each video can be broken down into chapters, and normally on a DVD player's remote control, you use either Previous/Next or the buttons marked << and >> to move between chapters.

I did just add videos which I believe are titles on the main menu. When the dvd is previewed the <<and>> work though. I guess my next question is can I make each title become a chapter. I have several videos I have already edited and want to treat them as a chapter. Do I have to put all the videos back together and seperate them by chapter.

chapter <<and>>

I did not get any reply after my last post however I did find a solution by messing around. I just added a chapter for each title at the last frame. This allows the <<and>> to work. However they will only take you to the next title or back to the beginning of the title you are watching.
