Markers / VMS and DVDA/ missing
VMS9 / DVDA 4.5 user / chapter markers missing in DVDA
I have rendered a set of mp2/ac3 files in VMS for a DVD. The checkbox ‘include marker files in rendered output’ is *definitely* set, but the markers are not in the rendered output when I drag the mp3 file into dvd architect. Even if I render just a short loop the same thing happens…
When I drag my rendered output into the trimmer in VMS, they do show up, and I have also clicked on the ‘save markers’ button in the trimmer.
In DVDA, I cannot see the markers in the timeline, and I also cannot add any markers for scene selection to the clip dragged into DVDA. Also, the ‘load markers’ button is not available in DVDA – it is greyed out.
I have not moved the rendered files from the original directory, and there is a ‘.sfl’ file present in the same directory…
Would anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Stewart Bourke

It gets even more weird…
In DVDA (4.5), when I have the rendered video in the timeline, pressing ‘M’ to add a marker does nothing – I cannot add markers onto the timeline..
I have check every preference setting I can find, and googled everywhere, but can find nothing….
Is there a setting somewhere which prevents markers from being set within DVDA 4.5?
Many thanks,
Stewart Bourke

Just in case anybody else is having issues with markers, the solution I found was to create the project in DVDA as a ‘single movie’ project.
The markers appear perfectly in the timberline for any media added. All you have to do is add the header menu manually, and then you can work away as normal.
Since I started using DVDA, the markers have *never* appeared when I created a menu-based project, but appear *every* time I create a single movie project.

Hi Stewart
I had the same problem. I don’t know what goes wrong but found out that I could press the “Load Markers” (Open/marker Icon left to the time line to get the markers into my menu based project.

I have the same issue with importing an MP4. There seems to be only 1 marker ( of about 20 ) shown. The rest are just not displayed.
Load markers does nothing.
menu based, single movie does not help either.
trying blu-ray disc format.I got DVD arch pro 5.0b ( build 180 )

I gave up trying to find out what the problem is. For every single project that I have done in Vegas, no matter what I try, no matter what settings I use – and I have definately clicked to include markers – the markers will not load into DVDA if I choose to make a menu-based DVD. IF I choose to make a single file DVD, when I load my file all the markers show up. In this case I simply add the menus myself.
The real issue is why it does it – my markers are definitely present – as they do show up in teh ‘single file dvd’ option…

I had this same problem and searching the Internet led me here. My chapter markets were also missing and clicking on the Load Markers button above the timeline did nothing. I thought maybe the video format (AVC) I was using was the problem. So I re-rendered my video tracks to MPEG files and clicked the Load Markers button and they suddenly appeared. I had saved the markets with the video files when rendering in Vegas. Of course, now I am over-budget on space for my DVD, but it at least appears that the issue is markers are incompatible with the AVC file format.
