Now that makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t thought about that. Thank you Jeff. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply. And thank you to all who have posted in the CC forums. A wealth of information, and well-moderated. A jewel of forums.

Reply to your post: Actually not. Chapters work. That’s why I said “within a chapter” in my post. But it was a long post… with many words…

So for example, you are watching chapter 2, and you want to fast forward to a certain part, or rewind to see something again or frame by frame, etc. This either doesn’t work on the player (although the prompt says “3x” or “8x” or whatever), or it crashes the player – some players are better than others. Watching the DVD on a computer, sliding the progress bar (as in scrubbing forward or backward) either hangs the player program or crashes the computer, depending on the program/computer.

And yes, these functions work on the unauthored MPEG-2 file itself. And yes, I have tried various authoring software, but the key troubleshooting detail for me was that the same project, when rendered to MPEG-2 on the “old” computer with SVP8, then authored/burned to DVD on any computer I tried, worked flawlessly. Which is why I think it must be a render setting in SVP8 on the “new” computer.

Thanks again for the reply. I feel like Sherlock Holmes, or Watson at least. These are not problems, but mysteries to be solved.
