Problem Placing Chapters

Post by fey-metallica »

I have dvd lab pro and I need to place chapters in a 1 hour video. When the program imports the chapters, it makes the .idx, but the chapterpoints are not added. It happened twice in a row now and I wondered if anybody knows what is going on. The manual added chapterpoints are no problem, but lessy easy.

Where did you get those chapter points? You made them in someother software? Are the markings correct to support Lab?

What happens when you insert random chapter points, export them then delete them from you work and save your project. Open it again and then import those random chapter points. Did they got added? If they did, are the chapter points that you are trying to add look similar in the .txt file to those you are trying to add.

For some reason the chapters pop up at once without doing anything different than the first couple of times.

Instead it won't compile the whole dvd, just 1 vob file which is 3gb big in the temp folder and nothing in the audio/video_ts folders. It's missing the menu's and 2nd audio option. The chapters play fine!
