  • chapter markers not transfering to DVD Architect when rendering mpg

    Posted by Larry Cole on April 2, 2008 at 4:07 am

    When I render using the dvd architect templates, none of my chapter markers get transfered to dvd architect. I have found that using .avi does transfer the chapter markers.

    In the past I’ve always just rendered to avi and suffered through the recompile at the dvd architect stage. This time I try to do it right and I’m rewarded with the chapters not working.

    I would assume the standard templates should provide this capability. Any idea why I’m having issues?

    Thanks,

    Larry

    Did you have the option to “Include Markers” checked?

    Did you move the MPEG2 file from where it was rendered? The marker/chapter points are stored in a separate .sfl file so you don’t want to move them.

    Where is the include markers option? I looked on the render dialog and preferences dialog. I have Vegas 8.0a.

    Also, I did move the mpg file and did not move the sfk file. I thought it was a temporary file that would get rebuilt. Obviously a bad assumption.

    Where is the include markers option?

    On the first render screen that comes up, it’s the second option from the bottom.

    Also, I did move the mpg file and did not move the sfk file.

    You meant the “.sfl” file, right?
    The “.sfk ” file is for audio waveforms and will get rebuilt when you open the project.

    Get into the rendering habit of rendering the MPEG-2 and AC-3 files to a separate folder.
    Make sure they both have the same surname (i.e. myvideo.mpg & myvideo.ac3).
    That way, when you import the video file into DVDA, the audio will follow automatically.

    You are correct.

    Thanks for the help.
