Chapter Markers with thumbnails do not appear on Share to DVD

Question

I am using Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and am producing a DVD for a 1:58 minute dance recital.  There are 2 acts and for each act I created seperate projects to make it easy to group the two camera content.    Each act has 25 - 30 performaces and using the Marker command I added a Chapter Maker at the start of each new song with a custom title. 
Once I had both Acts created as two projects, I then created a Compond Clip for each and then created a new project called DVD Master and droped the two compond clips into the timeline.    I confirmed the chaptermarks and the names and thumnail locations are intact in both.
Next I go back to the project view - select the DVD Master Project and goto Share/DVD - The dialog shows both the settings and optiosn for a black or white menu and when I click on the Chapter I see a mini thumbnail that shows the menu but they are all labeled Chapter 1, 2, 3, etc  no custom names.
I go ahead and render the DVD to a HD Image file, and when I launch the DVD play the disc plays fine but the chapter names do not show up, the chapter menu for that matter does not show, and on the player when I hit the forward button I jumps to Chapter 1, 2, 3 etc    - No names or thumbnails.
What do you think I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

The chapter markers are "inside" each compound. When you place these compounds in a new project timeline, they do not automatically migrate or bubble up to the new project. You may get a clue to that by simply looking at the timeline: no markers are visible!
This may be confusing, since you are allowed to put chapter markers anywhere.
But in the end only the chapter markers that are placed directly in the timeline from which you export will be present in the dvd. Bottom line is: you have to place this markers in your final project timeline.
One other option is to not use compounds at all; instead copy and paste everything from each subproject directly to the master project. This way the markers will be at the top level of your project and they will work. The drawback, of course, is that you get a complex timeline without the neatness of hiding each part inside a compound.
