ahhh…I think I see the concept. Link to the chapter points with an end action to return to what-ever menu. for the play all, have one chapter list with all the chapters in it. Because all the chapters are coming off the same timeline, there would be no pausing between chapters in the play list. Sorry I didn’t fully understand the ‘Bug’? I delivered the final DVD yesterday but there’s an ‘Advance’ section to come later in the year. I think George’s idea and your clairification just saved a wholelotta room on the disc. Thanks for helping me out!

Hi George,
Thanks for the response. Yes, I need a play all and the ability to play each chapter individually. I thought about adding all the chapters to one playlist for the play all and having the chapter end action to return to the menu for the individual chapter call. In the end no matter how I organized the navigation, it wouldn

I did some digging and and came across the bug you are talking about. In the end I duplicated the main timeline, deleted the last 12 chapter points on the first one and deleted the first 12 chapter points on the second one. The project became too large at this point to fit on a 4.7. The second duplicate would never be played in it’s entirity so I trimmed the first half off.
This is indeed a serious bug/problem. Will we ever see a patch for this or will we just be expected to purchase the new CS3 package?

You’re right! I never thought about the 486 to 480 conversion. Do you know what gets chopped off (or does it get squeezed?) If it gets chopped off, can I move the video layer down so it ends up back in the line 21 position after choppage has been performed? How does the encoding on my stand alone DVD recorder compensate since it seems to record and play back the CC with no problem? BTW, the CC is already encoded on the original video file so I don’t have a text file containing the text and positioning to use in the authoring program. Again, all input is greatly appreciated! Best Regards, Mike

Luke,
Thank you for your detailed response! I appreciate the time you have taken to answer my questions.
In your conclusion you talked about DV being a lossy compression and therefore when adding gfx and renders, it can/will suffer quality loss. I agree with you, which is why I like to up convert my current DV projects to the Matrox mjpeg codec for editing and compositing. Are you suggesting that instead of digitizing a DV tape in it
