Chapter Markers won't appear on Marker list in FCP X settings when trying to Burn a Standard Definition Disc

Help,
Trying to burn an SD DVD disc in FCP X from the Share menu.  I've set Orange Chapter Markers with Titles in my project from the timeline and these don't appear when I check the box to use chapter markers for Subtitles in the Destinations box to burn a DVD.  I've set a photo in the main menu and it appears with the Title of my Project, but in the Chapter Menu it only shows the default list of Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.  Shouldn't my Chapters show up on the list after I set them up on my timeline in the project?  Also, I did burn a disc with my Chapters not showing up the chapter list and my disc only plays from the Main menu with the picture inserted.  There's a slash line in the Chapter list button stating I can't use that option and I can't play chapters.  Trying to get this project out the door before January 20, 2013.  Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Dave

This "Share" feature behaves the same in both FCP7 and FCPX (it may actually be the only thing they have in common).
Since the specification for DVD-Video does not support titled chapter points, the text that you have entered for the marker does not appear on the burned DVD.  You only get DVD chapter points at the same time index as the time code position of the FCP marker (and even then, it's at the closest i-frame of the MPEG2 GOP structure).  Also, the first frame is always "Chapter 1".  So, if your first FCP7/X marker at two minutes is named "Later that day...", then on the burned DVD it will appear as "Chapter 2".
Checking "use chapter markers for Subtitles" was a good guess; however, this feature turns extended markers into subtitles (a very, very quick way to create subtitles, but limited when compared to what can be done in DVD Studio Pro).
Could a QuickTime movie burned to a DVD-R/+R work instead of a DVD?  QuickTime chapter markers support text.

    Can you post some screen shots? The chapter marker dialog box in the timeline. The DVD menu.
    What's playing back the DVD?
    Have you tried it without the background image? Build a disk image rather than burn a disc.

  • Chapter markers won't work when Blu-ray Disc burned

    I just burned a Blu-ray Disc directly in FCP7 (using Sharing). My 5 chapter markers are nowhere to be found when I play the disc back in my player.
    What happened? I don't want the chapter markers as subtitles -- simply want them to work as chapter markers.
    I'm sure I've burned Blu-ray before and the chapter markers exported just fine. Don't know what's wrong, this time.

    Larry, in Compressor, open the preview window and be sure the markers are there before encoding. If not, create a chapter list in DVDSP format and import it. I'm not sure why they don't show sometime, but I believe that if they appear in the Compressor preview window, they will be there on the final disc.
    You can export a marker list from FCP and manipulate the text file (I use TextEdit's replace function) to turn it into this format:
    00:23:24:15 Chapter one
    00:35:12:19 Chapter two etc.
    This can be imported in the Compressor preview window.

  • Aperture recently started listing Facebook albums multiple times when trying to select an album to share to.

    Aperture recently started listing Facebook albums multiple times when trying to select an album to share to.

    I've seen this duplication once or twice before - in my case it was with SmugMug.
    Try removing the Facebook account from within Aperture, and then re-adding it. It should resolve the issue.

  • When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
    If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
    be in mp3 format.
    If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
    in the playlist.

    I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
    At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

    Even though no one replied, i fixed my problem.
    Don't know if it will work for anyone else with similar problem
    but all I did was a CHKDSK then a defragment of my laptop and now everything seems to be working fine.

  • Chapter markers won't show in dvd studio pro

    I exported my file as a quicktime movie with dvd chapters in fcp. I checked the quicktime file and i can see all the chapter markers. I compressed it using compressor and then imported to DVDsp 4 as i usually do (my hard drive died and i recently reinstalled everything). I droped it in the menu using "create button and chapter indexes". I chose an apple template. I only get one chapter. what happened to my other ones?
    I tried also as a test importing the uncompressed final cut file that has the chapters and repeated the above procedure, and still i only got one chapter?
    I use to do this all the time, what am i doing wrong?

    Compressor should pass along the informations. Did you remember to specify each marker in FCP to be chapter markers. If so, try importing your reference file directly into DVDSP and dropping it into a track. The chapter markers should appear. You can them simply delete out the reference video and replace it with your final encoded MPEG 2.

  • Podcast chapter markers don't appear in iTunes when exporting to .m4a AAC

    I created Podcast Chapter markers within SoundTrack Pro 2.02 and exported the file using to the AAC/Podcast file enhanced podcast format .m4a (AAC). Under the 'Podcast' area, I select the 'Enhanced (images)' radio button.
    When I select the episode in iTunes - the 'Chapters' drop down appears on the iTunes menu bar but the drop down menu under 'Chapter's' is blank (empty).
    If I scroll through the episode by dragging on the slider, the label of each chapter does appear along with the pictures. How can I get the chapter listing to appear from the iTunes drop down 'Chapter's menu? I am wondering if this is a bug in SoundTrack Pro's export process or if I am doing something wrong. Anyone run into this or have an idea how to fix it? Thanks.

    I just wanted to add some more information. I tested the podcast in Quicktime 7.x and the chapter markers appear (along with the artwork) and work there as they are supposed to. In iTunes 7.5, under the Control > Next Chapter and/or Control > Previous Chapter work properly (they move the playhead to the correct chapter). However, under the iTunes Chapters in the menu bar - the listing is still blank. Is anyone else running into this issue, I am wondering if it a bug in SoundTrack Pro? Thanks.

  • Chapter markers don't appear in Encore after Export from Premiere

    I have to admit that I am really frustrated by this whole Adobe Cloud. Every time I 'upgrade' to the latest version, there is some new bug that REALLY hampers my workflow, and in the meantime I find no new features that are really all that useful to me right now.
    Here is the latest: After creating chapter markers in Premiere and exporting the timeline as an m2v, I bring the file into Encore and none of my chapter markers are there. This worked up to two days ago right before I 'upgraded'. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    Also, if I export a file that uses the Warp Stabilizer effect, the word "Stabilizing" appears on the output during any clips that use it. This was a little embarrassing to discover after I sent out a DVD to a client. I have found a work around for this, but seriously WTF??
    I don't feel confident that I should ever upgrade any more, but then what am I paying for?
    Does anyone know if it is possible to revert to an old version once you've upgraded.

    I am on a Mac 10.9.3, but I don't think that would have anything to do with it. I did output an .mp4 last night and brought it into Encore and the cahpter markers came in fine. So it must be something about the m2v file it doesn't like. Obviously, .mp4 is not the ideal way to bring the file into Encore because then the program has to transcode again, but yet another work around I have to come up with to make up for the program's shortcomings.
    I will open another thread about the "Stabilizing" issue.
    Thanks.

  • My G3 Won't appear on Itunes or Desktop. Think I've tried everything...

    I have a MAC OS X Version 10.3.9
    My generation 3 Ipod won't appear on ITunes or my MAC desktop.
    I have tried all of the suggestions on the page everyone kindly directs me to (docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60950).
    I have borrowed several cables to no effect.
    I can't restore my Ipod ( because it won't communicate with my MAC)
    I have a 100 GB external HD with firewall.
    The last time my Ipod worked it was plugged into the external HD.
    Should I buy a new cable with a USB plug?
    Do I have dead "plug-ins" on my MAC?
    Help...I need my daily podcasts for the hour-long commutes.
    Thanks
    iMAC   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I have tries the cable on another Mac and my ipod did appear. So the problem lies with the Mac and not the iPod.
    Will a USB connector help? What other things should I try. Help!

  • List of values failure error when trying to use dynamic data values

    Hi there,
    I have a user who is experiencing problems when trying to use dynamic values in a report.  Whenever he tries to insert dynamic parameters he gets the following error message:
    Prompting failed with the following message: 'List of Values failure: Failed to get values.  [Cause of error: Access is denied.]  Error Source: prompt.dll  Error Code: 0x8004380D
    He even opened the sample report - prompting.rpt - that is included with CR and gets the same error.
    We are using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 ver. 11.5.11.1470.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Please excuse my ignorance of the product.  I've had this problem dropped in my lap and I know practically nothing about Crystal Reports.  In doing some digging it appears to me as if the BusinessObjects Enterprise software may not be installed properly, if at all.  In the programs menu under the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 folder I see a BusinessObjects Enterprise folder, but the only icon listed in that folder is Software Inventory Tool.
    Is the BusinessObjects Enterprise software a separate install from Crystal Reports or is it bundled together?  I talked with the tech that did the install and he said that all he had was the Crystal Reports install media.

  • Says no compatible driver when trying to burn, device mgr. lists one

    Trying to burn a CD/DVD using a couple different programs I have; after dragging file to the appropriate place, then pressing burn, I get message - no compatible driver.  When I checked the device manager, it shows the  HP DVD RW AD7561S ATA device.  I tried both DVD RW and CD-R discs. I've tried to burn off and on for the last several years (not a heavy user) with the same result..  Could it be something wrong with the disc tray or the driver itself?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  My notebook is the HPG71  /  G71-3406S.  

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • Brand New Iphone 4 won't appear on device listing

    I've just got a new iPhone 4 and I plugged it in to my computer to initially register it for use but my computer would read the phone but iTunes wouldn't register it on the device list.
    I brought it to work today and it worked fine. Came home and tried a number of things such as removing iTunes and not restarting etc. I've been at it for nearly 2 days now and I'm none the wiser. I've just got no idea what to do with it. It charges on the computer, it appears on the computer as being an iPhone but iTunes won't do a thing with it.

    I bought it custom built from overclockers and it only had the operating system and updated drivers with it. I don't think it could be that. I've looked after it well. My friend had a jailbroken phone registered on my iTunes for awhile would that have had any conflict with iTunes for future devices connected to it at all?
