11th Chapter / movie goes to menu prematurely

Post by jonpetersen »

Hi, I am having problems that I cant figure out.. COuldnt find the answer here although similar cases exist..

What im doing, I have 17 avi movies that I am compiling into a DVD with menus using movie factory 4, or 5 trial or 5 plus.. Every program gives me the same exact problem..

The issue being, everything works except, when I just play the movie through, at the end of the 11th chapter or movie, instead of advancing to the 12th, it goes to menu... I have burned like 50 dvd's, tried every option, (not that there are that many) and still no dice..

Should I just give up.. I started using nero vision express 3 and It works, but I have another odd problem with it, there is no DVD menu audio for some reason..

Any help would be great.. Ive spent like 50 hours on this..

Any chance it could be that I have checked VCD compliant box??

I have a few questions (please answer all of them so as to help diagnose your problem).

Do you have one video file with more than 11 chapters? or do you have more than 11 separate video files (or some combination) :?:

Also, is chapter 12 the last chapter in the video, or are there more than 12 chapters?

What are the attributes of your video files, and what are the properties of your project?

How long is your video(s), and where exactly is chapter-12 :?:

Regards,
George

Thanks for replying!!

Ok, I have a total of 17 movie files. In movie edit pro, it looks like each movie represents a chapter so I have 17 menu items.

Each movie file is the same format, AVI, uncompressed... THe files came from magix movie edit pro 11 by selecting the "uncompressed" export option.. Files are pretty large, up to 14 gig each!!

The end of chapter 11 occurs at 59.8 minutes... Hmm is there a 1 hour limitation somewhere??

Video is about 1 hour 34 minutes long

After the movie prematurely goes to menu at the end of chapter 11, I can navigate to chapter 12 and watch the rest of the movie..

All the video and audio is crisp - menu looks great, all I have is this one issue..

Im willing to try anything, I can change all my source files to mpeg if you think that would help..

thanks - Jon

I may have fixed the probelm by installing an XP codec pack..

It seems to only jump to menu if you FF through the 11th movie, then let it play for the last minute..

Wonder if DVD workshop is more consistant ???
