Chapter points from project to DVD

hansbakker · Post by **hansbakker** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 1:52 pm

I captured a film from my DV-camcorder and edited it (AVI PAL 720*576 Stereo) using VideoStudio 10+. In Timeline view I set a couple of chapter points.
From hereon I want to make a DVD, using these chapter points. HOW???
What I did is using Share to create a video file (MPEG) of my project. Starting a new project I selected SHARE/Create Disk and imported the MPEG file. But now I couldn't find the chapter points that I made earlier in the editing process.
Please tell me step by step how I can achieve my goal!

As Ulead has let us know, the Recommended Procedure that you are using (creating a video file before going to the burning stage) is not endorsed by them, nor does it carry over the settings for the chapter points. Following the Ulead procedure of burning directly from the timeline will keep your chapter points. Good luck.

Hi Hansbakker,

In VS10+, the chapter points you set in the editing module will disappear in the DVD authoring module (Share|Create Disc), unless you have downloaded service pack SP1 for VS10. The service pack fixed this little bug. Otherwise, you will have to reset the chapter points in the DVD authoring module by clicking on the Add/Edit Chapter button on the first screen of the authoring phase. Drag the Jog SLider under the preview window to set your chapter points. Hope this helps.

Dagnabit, Jeff, you beat me to the answer by 2 minutes. I'm going to have to learn how to type faster!!!

Hansbakker,

Jeff makes a good point about using or not using the Recommended
Procedures. If you decide to author and burn with your project with the newly created video file in the edit module's timeline, then your chapter points will be there, but you risk potential problems in the authoring and burning stage. That's why this forum has put together the Recommended Procedures guideline, to help people avoid problems. I would follow the Recommended Procedures if you want headache free authoring and burning. Either download the service patch for VS10 or reset your chapter points in the authoring module.

I don't think it's a matter of Ulead NOT ENDORSING a methodical approach. They even said this:

InterVideo Ulead agrees that this recommended structured workflow is ONE of the ways in which one can complete projects in VideoStudio.

Regardless, if the update patch is applied, you can create an mpeg file, and bring that into the Authoring module. Then the Authoring module can auto-detect the chapter points you created in the Editing module...

George

I was just going by what the first line of their disclaimer says:

Hi hansbakker

You can add chapter points from the burner module, first window.

As you have done the hard work in selecting the chapter points in your project, view your project making a note of the time/position of the points. (the time in the digital clock, in project mode.)

When you Share Create Video File
Add Video
The first window allows you to Add/Edit Chapters, Click this option then insert the times in the clock, click Add Chapter for each time.

Good luck

Regards

Trevor

I can see how it can be interpreted in different ways.

I was reading that they did not endorse the notion that the approach is THE ONLY WAY, and the notion that there are SERIOUS BUGS.

But I can also see the first line as being interpreted how you read it...

Reminds me of someone on a job interview, and the manager calls one of their references -- and the reference person says:

You'd be lucky to get him to work for you...

blplhp mentions a service patch, but I couldn't find it on the Ulead server. It is strange, I bought VS10+ only a few days ago from their webshop, so I would presume I got the latest version including patches

Link to the update packs: http://www.ulead.com/tech/vs/vs_ftp.htm. I believe you want Service Pack 1, but I'm not entirely sure as the chapter points problem is not one of the listed bug fixes.

Hi hansbakker

The chapter points are only carried over from a ¡¥project¡¦ a ¡¥Vsp¡¦

Once you render to a new Mpeg then the chapter points will be lost.

I have VS 10 installed ¡¥NO Patch¡¦

When importing a Vsp to the video studio burner module, the chapter points were preserved. They were available and would be burned to disc.

If I were to import a video file (add video) there would be no chapter points, but these can be created here, Add/Edit chapters.

The chapter points can be carried over with a file (I think you need to install the patch -- they will be in a corresponding file with the same name, but with the UPD extension -- which should get automatically picked up by the authoring module).

George

I downloaded the patch and installed it, after that VS10+ couln't get started. Fortunately after using a Windows Restore Point VS could be used again (without patch of course)

There are two versions If you installed the one with (TBYB) in brackets thats wrong and why you had the problem and you can join the club of those that have done it.
