You should clear your chapter end-jumps, assign “play all” to the track and make 8 stories containing the chapters and end-jumps.

Silvio,
It could be that the stamper house is not set up to handle DDP off of DVD-R or your DDPs are not in the root directory of the discs you sent. Offer to resend the images on DLT tapes. They should accept them, and I’m sure your DVDAE facility will be able to run them off.

Just put it in the root directory of the disc when you burn.

Haven’t heard this one before (and just when I was starting to think I’ve seen it all).
On a major title I would consult a testing facility to find out the install-base of the player, and if it’s considerable, run different scenarios with audio – pcm, dd, dts at different rates to see if and what changes. Otherwise, I would run the audio on a bunch of brand-name players (at least one from each major manufacturer), and if they’re all good, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Bi pictures do you mean stills? If you have static photos and/or titles you should de-interlace before or during the encoding. Otherwise you get half the resolution.

Sorry for the redundant post. Didn’t see Eric’s answer.

One way to do it is to hook your live feed from the editor straight into a set-top DVD recorder. Then once the show is over it will have to finalize the DVD (10-20 mins), and you have your master. You could pop that into a 12-drive tower and copy, but that will too take 10-15 minutes. If you’re going to sell those things on the spot, you have to make sure you have a damn good director minding the cameras. The way I’ve seen it done is putting the editor’s feed to tape, showing the tape after show taking orders for the DVD. There’s ALWAYS work to be done afterwards, even in the best case scenario (and it never is).

Just check “deinterlace” in BiVice. Keep “interlaced input” checked.

If you’re replicating, there’s no problem with filling it up. But your client is right if your final destination is DVD-R. 5%-10% of the outer edge of DVD-Rs are prone to errors, and while some players may correct them, many will not. I never fill my DVD-R-bound discs beyond 3.5-3.7 gigs. As always, it depends what you mean by press – if you’re replicating from DLT, you’re fine, if from a DVD-R, all you’re getting back are more DVD-Rs, not DVD-Video discs.
