I have a large amount of family videos to convert to digital (newer ones are miniDV, older ones are 8mm). I am testing the demo version of VideoStudio. It took me two days to import and DVD-ify two 60 minute tapes (because I don't have all day to hack on this). I supervise an import (via DV-to-DVD wizard) in the evening, long enough to do a chapter scan and then start the import/conversion process. I burned DVDs of the two imported tapes, but the DVDs only have the first screen-full of chapters from the imported tapes. The resto of the auto-detected chapters are missing.
My perceived need is for software that will do the following:
* import my video tapes in a mostly automated fashion
* do a high-quality job of compression & encoding so an hour or more will fit on a single layer DVD
* automatically create chapters (preferably named by date, which [correct me if I'm wrong] is saved with recorded data on miniDV)
* create a dvd (or dvd folder) that contains *all* of the "detected chapters" on the tape
My problem is that it appears that the chapters are being properly detected by the DV-to-DVD wizard, but the resultant DVD only contains the first screen-full of chapters.
Suggestions? Should I move on to a different product, or will VideoStudio do what I need?
Background: I'm a rocket-scientist-type kernel I/O developer for a living, so I'm very technical, but I don't want to become a technical hobbyist about converting my family videos. I want auto-detection of chapters by date, high quality video, and an easy process. Violating the laws of physics and doing all my videos in one day would be nice, but I'll settle for doing a good job and not dropping all but the first page of chapters.
Thanks for any insight.
