  • Dealing with lots of chapters in DVDA3

    Posted by Paul Gregory on December 6, 2007 at 12:32 am

    I have noticed on commercial Dvds that sometime when they have a very large number of chapter points on a film that in addition to the pages that have maybe 4 to 6 chapters per page they also display across the bottom of the screen places to click that allow you to jump to other chapter pages which might display chapters like 31-36.

    Is these any way to do this in DVDA3?

    Thanks in advance

    Yep. When you insert your movie into DVDA right click on the button and a menu appears. One of the items is INSERT SCENE SELECTION MENU. Click on that and a dialouge box will appear and ask you how many chapters you want per page set that number, click the OK button and you’re all set.
    For example, say you hav 36 chapters (wow that’s a lot) and you want 6 per page. When you set the number in the dialouge box to six it will give you 6 pages with 6 chapters per page. Arrange them how you want them if you want and you’re done.
    This is ASSUMING of course that you have the chapter points already set in either Vegas or DVDA.

    Sorry I must not have explained myself clearly enough. I already aware of what you said. What I’m asking about is in addition to the 6 chapters displayed as thumbnails on the screen you often see a small set of brackets across the bottom of the screen which display ranges of chapters like [1-6],[7-12],[13-18],[19-24],etc. Clicking on the third brackets takes you to the scene selection which has chapters 13-18. Can this be done?

    I may have misread to begin with.

    Insert and EMPTY Event Button type in what you want then point the button to whereever you want it to go. IE [1 – 6]
