Unable to add chapters to an MPEG2 clip. MPEG1 works fine

Post by dwilson »

The Add Chapter button doesn't appear to do anything when I'm editing an MPEG2 clip. I can add chapters to MPEG1 clips without any problems.

Anyone else experience this issue?

Sorry, this probably isn't going to help you...

I've used nothing but MPEG-2 files. Most of my DVDs have been made with one long MPEG-2 file (plus a first-play intro). I' have not had problems adding chapters. ...Well at least not since I realized the Add Chapter button is disabled until you advance past the first frame! :D

Oh... I have had some weird problems (Video preview freezes, Audio problems in preview, Workshop crashing, A/V out-of-sync on DVD) when using edited MPEG-2 files. (Edited with Video Studio.)

If you are having problems advancing the video to the point where you want the chapter, your MPEG is corrupted. My apparently corrupted MPEG-2 files played fine with Windows Media Player, so don't assume they are OK, just because you can play them.
