Chapter Markers End Jump Too Early-Problem

Folks, I am using DVDSP 4 and my chapter markers keep stopping too early from the burned DVD. When I play the Video_TS folder using Apple DVD player all is well. When I burn it and play it on a standard DVD player, all the chapter markers end jump earlier than they should - cutting off my full credit rolls on my video track.
All of my chapter markers came from Final Cut Pro where I initially made them.
Please advise.

Make sure you test this on more than one player if it is a "for real" project of replication or duplication. All players are not created equal and there are the real weird things that may show up on only one or two players, but you need to make sure. You may want to try the other methods and see if it helps on the problem player just for fun. (Yeah, I know does not sound like much fun, but it is sort of interesting I guess )

  • OSMF NetStream firing end event too early

    HI,
    I originally posted this here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067347#5067347 but I got no responses and then remembered an OSMF specific forum where I hoped I might find more help!
    I've been digging into a bug report where the ends of adverts are clipped by up to three seconds in Android and, after a _lot_ of painful debugging, I have come to the conclusion that the issue is with the underlying NetStream object.
    After a bit of jiggery pokery to locate the NetStream on NetStreamLoadTrait, I was able to listen to the changes to NetStream.time and to compare against the TimeTrait values, also to see what events were happening where and when. After placing this code on an Event.ENTER_FRAME handler, I was able to see clearly that there is _ALMOST_ALWAYS_ a huge jump in the last two frames... This equates to clipping off the last few seconds of the video as the jump tends to occur a couple of seconds prior to the end. Having placed break-points in OSMF code, it appears that the end is "correct" in that it is always in response to a NetStream.Play.Stopped... just that the NetStream.Play.Stopped is firing at the wrong time.
    Does anyone have _any_ idea what could be causing this? Is it likely to be with the media being supplied (third-party advertsing video...) or the plugin itself?
    Thanks,
    G

    Hi,
    Bumping this one in hopes!
    This one is a huge show-stopper as _nobody_ will be happy with the potential for losing the terminal three seconds of their adverts upwards of half the number of times they are played!
    Seriously, am I the only one to have noticed this?

  • Does track end jump trump chapter or story end jump?

    I have a DVD with 1 menu & 3 tracks. Tracks 1 & 2 each contain l short video (different audio or video formats) and track 3 contains 3 short videos which I have broken into 1 story w/3 chapters. On track 1, there is 1 chapter marker and I have set its end jump back to the menu. The end jump for the track itself is set to Track 2. Button 1 connection is set to the chapter marker. Ditto for track 2 except its end jump is set to track 3 while its one chapter marker end jump is set to menu 1. Button 2 is targeted to track 2, chapter 1. Track 3 has 3 chapters. It's end jump is set to menu 1. The chapters within the story are also set to menu 1 and it works the way I want it to. Button 6 is a PLAY ALL button targeted to track 1. When I select button 1, the video ends and continues on to track 2 instead of going back to menu 1;. When I select button 2, it also contiunues on (to track 3) instead of jumping back to menu 1. My goal was to be able to access each individual video and then jump back to the main menu. I tried adding stories to each of Track 1 & 2 and making the story end jump go back to he main menu but it seems the track end jump trumps both chapter & story end jumps. Anybody have any solutions to my problem? thanks.

    Hi:
    You can do it using a script. Take the DVDSP User Manual and look for the topic Jumping to a Menu's Loop Point (Chapter 14 - Creating Scripts) and you'll find a detailed description of how to do it.

  • Set end jump to stop, still won't stop...

    I have a 20 minute dvd program with no menus that is set to play upon insertion. Set chapter 1 end jump to stop - didn't stop. Added a chapter 2 marker in black at the end of the program and set its end jump to stop - still won't stop. Read the other threads that suggest I do what I've already done. Tried both in simulator and burned discs and played in my DVD player -- program just keeps looping. Thanks for any help...

    Personally, I wouldn't put the end jump on the marker - I would set it for the track. You can end jump to a script if you need, which simply reads:
    Exit
    (which I guess is what you are already doing). However, if you are putting an end-jump on a marker, make sure it is not placed at the very end of the track. If you have a marker just on the section of black, then set the end jump of the marker before to go to your script. This earlier marker finishes where the next marker starts, so you should exit before the black section.
    If you exit in this manner, then pressing play on the remote should re-start the disc from the beginning again, but the track should not loop. Are you seeing the loop on a software or hardware player?
    It is, as you say, a simple task. I cannot get the track to loop if I end jump to an exit script, so I am not at all sure why you would be seeing this behaviour.

  • End jump woes

    I have a single track with 4 chapter markers. Each chapter marker end jumps back to my main menu.
    For chapters 2, 3 and 4 this works perfectly.
    However, when the track gets to the end of the first chapter, it continues on, without returning to the main menu, even though the end jump on the marker has been properly set?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    david

    The "end" marker method works well for a variety of issues, and I use it myself all the time.
    However, as far as specifying end jumps for individual markers, there can be several things that may prevent these from working correctly, from the use of scripts to more spcific command overriding the defaults, to differences in playback setups. I also recommend stories to provide a more reliable solution. I usually include the "end" marker in each story to preserve the ability to skip to the end without jumping to the next track.

  • How do I insert chapter markers in iMovie '11?

    In my various Google searches, I keep reading references to inserting chapter markers in iMovie, usually earlier versions. How can I manually insert chapter markers using iMovie '11? I really don't want to use iDVD, which apparently only lets you select how many minutes are between each chapter.

    enable "show advanced tools" in iMovie preferences then you will see the little balloon indicated by the arrow.
    drag it where you want to have your chapter in the project, give it a name, you're done.
    when you'll export your movie and have it in idvd you'll automatically have the movie split in the chapters you've made.
    Cheers,

  • DVDSP - End Jump to Menu 1 and Chapters Markers from Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

    I went to the Final Cut Forum and they sent me here:
    Final Cut 5.0.4
    DVD Studio Pro 4
    I got to the point where I set the end jump back to Menu 1 for each of the two films listed with buttons on Menu 1 of my DVD.
    One film has no chapter markers and the other has 4 chapters that I set up in Final Cut Pro, edited as Chapters and Saved for DVD Studio Pro when exporting the Quick Time. This functionality is great and very nice. At the end one does return to the (main menu) from both short films.
    What I found, as stated in the manual, was the first chapter marker is automatically put in by DVD Studio Pro. On the film with 4 chapters by depressing the button on the remote one can skip ahead. When on reaches the 4th chapter one does not have a 5th marker for the end and one has to watch the 4th chapter to reach the end and then go back to the main menu. What I was trying to put in was a 5th chapter marker, or a marker at the end of each film where if one wanted to go back to the Main Menu before the film time had elapsed, one could hit the chapter ahead button and reach the end of the film, and be returned to the Main Menu.
    When I put in end markers in DVD Studio Pro, the build stops stating there is a GOP boundry problem. After reading the manual I went back to end chapter markers in Final Cut, but these do not come through. I tried more than one second from the end of the movie but this does not seem to be the answer.
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Bill

    Yes, the end marker is the solution, and it does need to be a certain distance from the end of the media. If placing markers in FCP, I put it 1:03 from the end. If you need to you can extend the FCP sequence, or even the track in DVDSP with a little black. In DVDSP, if I don't have an embedded end marker in my asset, I use the little "clicker" arrows next to the time fields in the marker inspector to move the marker two GOPs or "clicks" from the very end of the asset or track.

  • How do I set up a track with lots of markers? Stories? End jumps?

    Hello,
    sorry if the topic is a bit vague, I'll try to explain as good as I can. And I've just had a cup of tea, so let's go.....
    I'm working on a project in FCP. On my timeline, there are about 20 clips, with 2 seconds of black cut in between.
    What I want to do in DVDSP is have a menu and several submenues. No problem here.
    On the main menue, there is a play-all button, and that should start the track as a whole, and play from the very first to the very last clip, including the 2 second black bits, obviously.
    The submenues have buttons that target the individual clips on the tracks. I want the clips to play, and then jump back to the submenue that button is on.
    How do I go about it?
    I add chapter markers to the clips, right? And I can link the buttons on the submenues to those chapter markers. But how would I make the whole track play, i.e. how would I integrate the play-all button?
    Or would it be better to turn those clips into stories (haven't done that before, is it difficult?), and then the play-all button could target the track?
    I hope I've been clear, please let me know if I wasn't. Any advice or help is greeeeeaaaaatly appreciated. Did I mention the deadline? No? Oh well.....
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Colin

    On approach is set forth here (you can download movie and scroll through)
    http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/passelections.php
    The are a few othe things also to look at. Easy to do stories
    http://www.dvdstepbystep.com/stories.php
    Put them all on one track, set chapter markers for each one.
    So lets say three clips
    Play All would target story that has 1,2,3 markers
    To select play range between 1 and 2, make a story with just Chapter 1

  • Recording starting too early and also ending too e...

    Another problem.....
    When recording programmes I am frequently finding that the recording is starting way too early...5-10 minutes....and often ends too early (very annoying as one misses the end of a particular programme).
    Any help, gratefully received!
    Thanks

    Recording should start 2 minutes before the scheduled start time and end 5 minutes after the scheduled stop time (by default - you can increase this).
     The box won't automatically cope with programmes which start late. Are the programmes you're having a problem with starting on time?
    Is the time displayed on the box correct?

  • Songs ending too early

    It seems that since the last update to I Tunes some songs are ending too early (30 to 1:30 too ealry).  The get info button does not indicate the songs should end early.  When i download the song again, the problem stops.

    There could be a number of causes. If the iPod only plays a very short part of the file <10 secs this is usually down to problems with the structure of the file that iTunes can cope with but that causes the iPod to bail out. Re-encoding in iTunes will normally help, ie. re-rip or convert from MP3 to AAC or vice versa. Since all transcoding is lossy you should retain your original file as a backup in the hope that future firmware upgrades will fix this issue. iTunes also has a feature to allow you to exclude parts of a song from being played. Use *Get info* on a song in question and look at the Options tab. There are options here to set a start & stop time and to remember the playback position. Setting any of these will affect what gets played each time the track is selected. Finally, if you're playing songs in random order that are part of continous play albums the exact point at which the track stops may not be quite where you expect it to be.

  • Story Markers not obeying end jump

    Hello. I created a simple DVD with Stories -- 3 tracks each with 3 stories which correspond to the 3 chapters in the specified track. There is a Stories Menu with a button for each Story to 1) Play All (points to the track) and nine buttons, one for each Story Marker. The End jump for each Story Marker points back to the Stories Menu. The End jump for the whole Story is Same As Track. However, when simulated or played off a disk image, the story does not end jump, but rather continues to the next chapter. Have tried everything and searched for a solution, but it is confounding me.

    Welcome to the Boards
    What you should do is make a story for each section and set the end jumps for each story. So with 3 markers, play all story markers 1,2,3 and set the end jump for thee story (do not leave as same for track), section 1 story marker 1 set end jump for the story, etc. Should do the trick.

  • Why Chapter Markers doesn't jump anymore after updates ?

    Hi all experts out there,
    I am faced with a weird problem ...
    I use iDvd to create some DVD, the menus & chapters all works fine & perfect. The chapter markers jumped correctly to correct chapters.
    Then I wanna make some simple amendment to the movie (ie I wanna add some text to the movie). So I went back to Final Cut and re-render it with the Chapter Markers checked as before. I renamed it as the same file.
    Then I went back to iDvd, when I opened it, it is very smart, it detects a new updated file & asked me if I wanna UPDATE. So I click the update button. Very good, all the chapters are still intact, the names for all chapters are also intact, the movie is also updated with the new text.
    The only thing that didn't work is that when I click on the Chapter in the Scene Selection, it doesn't jump, it always goes back to the beginning of the video.
    Then I re-render again the Final Cut again & try again. This time when I select the Chapter, it always go back to Chapter 2.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Can someone help me with the above, please ? I ran out of ideas
    S.O.S
    Thanks

  • End jump after each chapter

    I have DSP 4.2.0
    I want the DVD to jump back to the menu page after each chapter is finished.
    Can someone direct me on how to do this? I tried under "connections" setting it up, but it didn't work.
    Gerry

    First off, there are three different layouts that you can use for DVDSP. The vast majority of people use the 'Advanced' layout which gives access to all of the tools and settings. Whilst it looks daunting, I recommend you switch to it. That way, you'll be seeing it the way others see it, and the instructions will make more sense to you.
    You can add commands to lots of elements in your project. If you have a single video in your timeline and have put chapter markers along it, you can set an 'end jump' on each chapter marker by simply clicking on the marker once and looking in the property inspector for the 'end jump' setting. Use this to set each to go back to the main menu when it has played through.
    However, this will not be the most reliable way to get this done. It will work on some players, but users will be able to skip through the track and bypass the end jumps. You can prevent this if you want, but an easier and more robust way to achieve this is to use stories.
    If you look on the top bar of the app you'll see icons that enable you to add new elements to your project. Adding a story is as simple as clicking on the story icon.
    A story is a container for chapters, and works like a play list in iTunes. You can add one or more chapters to the story, but in your case you only want to add one per story. Stories are also elements in your project and they can have end jumps on them. You add a story, and then in the story tab drag a single chapter from the list of chapters into the story container. You repeat this for every story you need. Then set the end jumps for the stories - click on a story in the outline view tab or graphical view and look in the property inspector... set the end jump for each story to go back to your menu.
    The buttons on the menu now need to have the story container as the target and NOT the chapter inside them. This is crucial.
    If you do this correctly it will work as you want it to, with just a single chapter playing and then the disc sending the viewer back to the menu.

  • Chapter Markers Problem

    When I export to Compressor from within FCP, the chapter markers appear in compressor. If I export a non-self contained QT Movie from FCP and drag it into compressor, they markers are not there. I am saving with "All Markers" selected and have never had this problem before. Any ideas?

    Glad you found a solution.
    For what it's worth, All Markers, despite the name, isn't all it's cracked up to be. In fact, it's inferior to DVDSP Markers if you're looking to export out to Compressor for DVD work. DVDSP Markers, in addition to (manually placed) Chapter and Compression Markers, include automated markers - Edit/Cut Markers - at each cut point, including the beginning and end of a transition. (The more you have to hammer down the bit rate, the more they make a difference, in my experience). Edit/Cut Markers are not available to Compressor if you export using any other markers setting.
