Chapters info wiped when authoring DVD VS4X

Post by jontsujimura »

I have setup and renamed the chapters in the timeline using the Chapter Point Manager. I enter the Share section to author the DVD. Create Menu is check marked. I enter the Add/Edit Chapter to Automaticall add chapter info. I click OK and click next to choose a menu template and discover my renamed chapter info is gone and set to the default Chapter 1, chapter 2.........
I go back to the project to check on the chapters points I renamed and discover all the renamed chapters are gone. Is this a bug?

My system is running Win 7 home 64bit
4gb ram

Hi Jon

And welcome to the forums

Yes there is a problem when creating the chapter points within the timelines.
Different versions of Video Studio acting differently. Some not even exporting the chapter points, but all version loose the names……….

There have been some tests done and the recommendation is not to create the chapter points in the timeline, but add them after doing Share Create Disc-from the first window---Add/Edit Chapter points. Read http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 9&start=15

Once you close the burner module you are returned to the timelines, at this point Saving the project again should retain the Menu structure, whether the Chapter details are retained I just don’t know. Returning to the create Disc should have the menu as previously created?

I say should because I don’t use Chapter points, but prefer to render my project into smaller videos, then adding these to the burn disc stage creates links in the main menu page.
