IDVD 7 trouble with chapter markers and burning

After importing my iMovie into iDVD, with all the chapter markers working fine, saved fine. When I try and burn, I get the message - "Assets used in your project were changed since you last opened this project". It then asks if I want to update. If I say no - I can't burn it. If I agree to the auto update it screws up all the chapter markers and doesn't seem to let me fix them!
I have one week left to have this completed. I'd so appreciate any suggestions!! Thanks.

That, I am afraid, is 'normal' behaviour.
Chapter markers are screwed up this way, and all we can do is to create a new iDVD project.

  • IMovie to iDVD issue with chapter markers...

    what are the rules for placing chapter markers in iMovie? Tried burning a movie in iDVD yesterday only to get a "track initialization" error. i was told it was probably due to where and how my chapter markers were placed in iMovie. went back to the original iMovie file, removed all the chapter markers and, what do you know, it burned in iDVD without a hitch. is there a secret to chapter markers? are there spots they can or cannot go? thanks, in advance, for info.

    Hi Jonesing:
    These I can remember-there may be more.
    Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline. Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition. Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.

  • Trouble compressing with Chapter Markers

    I have a very large (136 gigs) 10 bit uncompressed quicktime of a 17 minute movie. Knowing that DVD Studio Pro will only let me place chapter markers on I frames, I brought my quicktime into final cut and placed 5 chapter markers exactly where I want them. I've now tried to export that quicktime with DVD Studio Pro markers and then compress into an MPEG-2 in Compressor. I've also exported with chapter markers and then compressed into an MPEG-2. I've also tried sending my sequence straight to Compressor and, using one of the tabs, "maintained DVD Studio Pro meta-data." No matter what, every time that I bring my final compressed MPEG-2 into DVD Studio Pro, the chapter markers do not appear. Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the Boards
    When you open the movie in QuickTime are you seeing the markers? Have you tired using Export -> Chapter Markers (not DVD SP Markers?)
    Take a look here shows selection of Chapter Markers on export

    Also is a basic cheat when markers are causing issues...

  • Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

    When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
    workflow as follows:
    1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
    2. set in/out points in timeline
    3. export quicktime movie
    4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
    5. do NOT select recompress all frames
    6. DO select make self contained movie.
    7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
    8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
    9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
    Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
    thanks in advance
    patrick

    The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
    Any idea what the AV files are?
    When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
    When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
    5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
    Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

  • Chapter Markers and iDVD'08'

    Hi
    Can anyone who has upgraded to iDVD'08' tell me if the Chapter Markers that are set in FCE are recognised in iDVD'08 when you import.
    Pete

    YES! I put together a quick movie with chapters in FCE 3.0 HD and exported as a QT movie with chapters. (the usual way). I can drag the movie into iDVD 08 and the chapter markers and titles are included. (as expected). This was a big fear of mine. It seems to work fine in the iDVD preview mode. I did not burn the movie to a DVD, but it seems to work.

  • Problems with rendering a 16:9 project with Chapter markers to iDVD

    Hi there
    I'm having an issue where I'm trying to export a DVD for a client with chapter markers as it's required. Problem is when I put the project into iDVD the project squishes back to 4:3 ratio.
    One solution that was on here was to use the Quicktime Conversion to create a 16:9 video however when I use Quicktime conversion I lose the chapter markers
    I need to have both 16:9 ratio and Chapter Markers in the DVD how do I overcome this problem?

    Anamorphicizer didn't work.
    I can use Quicktime Pro cause I currently have Quicktime X on my computer (snow leopard) which doesn't have a Pro upgrade.
    Any myDVDedit is really confusing to use do I have to export the DVD into a VIDEO_TS file to fix it? I'm still puzzled

  • Exporting 16:9 with chapter markers to idvd

    I have been triyng to export a video in 16:9 with chapter markers but when opened with idvd I can only get either the format or the chapters by using two diferent procedures. Is there any way I can have it in the right format and with the chapter markers? If not, is there any other program, lets say dvd studio pro, that can do it. How should I export them?
    Thank you all for your help.

    Hi
    Got problem with Chapters too - It was my own fault.
    A. Must Use Chapter Marks - not just only Marks
    B. Must NOT - fiddle with the text in this box set - I thought me to be clever by renaming as I wanted them to be - Result = No Chapter Marks.
    Do the re-naming in iDVD - here it's OK and works.
    C. The export over to iDVD Export as
    • EXPORT With Chapter Marks
    • Not self-containing - not important but saves Time and Space
    • QuickTime movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL ! !
    D. This file I import (drop) into a BRAND NEW iDVD Project - Never go back to update as this set's off the iDVD BUG. If error in movie found and need of change - THEN Start a Brand New iDVD project and all will be well.
    (E. Never let iDVD convert from NTCS to PAL or other way around and not feed it 24fps video - as result will be BAD) - If of need - Please come back for instr. on how.

  • Using iMovie to Make a DVD with Chapter Markers

    All,
    Can someone explain the shortcomings of the following workflow to create a simple DVD with chapter markers?
    1. Create each "chapter" as a separate project in FCP X.
    2. Export each project using "Export project as QuickTime movie using current settings".
    3. Import each QT movie into iMovie and place them into a single timeline in the desired order.
    4. Add chapter markers at the start of each clip.
    5. Choose Share>iDVD from within iMovie.
    6. Choose desired templates, etc. then burn the DVD.
    I have used this workflow successfully but want to make the best quality DVD possible and am concerned that I am making compromises with this method.
    Thanks for your help.
    Peter

    As long as you aren't "optimizing" the movie when importing into iMovie, I think you aren't doing anything to degrade quality prior to sharing with iDVD.
    I've read on other threads that you can add chapter markers using garage band. you might give that a try, as it would let you use just one project and would save you time if you have a lot of chapters. Export the same way from FCPX (quicktime, use current project settings) but open in Garage Band instead. Place chapter markers, then share to iDVD.
    but want to make the best quality DVD possible
    You should know weak link in your workflow regarding quality is iDVD, because you have extremely little access the settings that actually control quality. iDVD might end up creating an excellent quality DVD, but without knowledge of bitrate and whether it is VBR multipass vs CBR, you can't be sure.
    Unfortunately, there is really no low cost option I know of (other than iDVD) on the Mac for creating "the best quality DVD possible" that also gives you flexible authoring tools (e.g., templates, menus, etc).

  • Missing with chapter markers after Export Using QuickTime Conversion

    I have my FCE workflow setup as follows:
    I create the sequences using relatively large video source files, in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    Then, I use Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion to H.264 Codec, but my chapter markers are lost.
    If I use Export -> QuickTime Movie, the chapter markers are preserved, but the codec is still AIC.
    I need a compressed file with chapter markers. What am I missing?

    One more time: "Where are you looking at the exported file? After making a DVD or somewhere else?"
    Can you answer this for me? How are you looking at this material? Off the DVD you've burned? Is that what you're saying? Comparing the QuickTime Movie export to a DVD burned from a PhotoJPEG export? Or are you playing it from the computer to HDMI? If so are you using the QuickTime player? Is the QT player set to high quality playback? Yes, PhotoJPEG (not JPEG Photo) is a very large file especially at full quality. You probably don't need any more than 75% quality. I'd be very surprised if you say you can see the difference between 75% and 100%.
    The length of the video is important not the size of the disc. iDVD's compression is fixed by the length of movie and the amount of content that has to be encoded.

  • Chapter Markers and Self-Contained Exports

    OK, Final Cut Express 2.0.3 on a MacOS 10.3.9 system
    I pull in some digital video and edit out unwanted parts by making a sequence of sub-clips, each marked with a Chapter Marker.
    To save some drive space, I export the sequence, with Chapter Markers, to a self-contained Quicktime file in full DV format.
    Re-import the resulting file and I see no Chapter Markers anywhere in FCE. If I drop the same file on iDVD, all the chapters show up, so I know the markers are there.
    Anyone know of a way to get them to show up in FCE ?
    Thanks.

    I just saw my chapter markers by opening my FCE 2 DV export in QuickTime Pro 7.0.3. They show up as a text track and display across the top 32 pixels (or so) of the movie. I disabled the text track. Even so, the QuickTime Player shows the Chapter labels to the right of the controller bar. However, they disappeared for further exports.

  • Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?

    Will iDVD 08 recognize chapter markers from FCE 3.5 HD?
    Thanks, Ed

    A qualified "yes". Meaning it should work as stated but in practice there are some issues. There are fewer issues with FCE => iDvd6 than there currently are with iLife'08. I don't have a good explanation for this.
    Btw, this is strictly an observation on my part from reading this forum. Keep in mind I do not own / work with FCE but rather with FCP => DVDSP as well as with apple's i-Apps.

  • Chapter Markers and relationship to buttons in Encore

    OK...this has to be a basic question BUT: When I go from Premiere CS 3 and send my time line that has chapter markers (and each of these chapter markers has descriptive text)...when I send hit Export to Encore, how do I get a menu that would have a separate "Chapter" menu with these exact Chapter Markers automatically set to a button: If I have 16 chapter markers, how do I automatically get 16 buttons on the "Select Chapter" or Select Scene menu. It seems I have to take a template from Encore add additional buttons to equal 16 buttons that I would need then edit it in PhotoShop and correct the text from the button template...and so much WORK!!!!!
    Wont Encore read the chapter markers and their text from the time line and automatically create the buttons on a separate menu page called "Scene Select" or something like that?
    Please SAVE my life with any support or help. I cannot seem to find the Adobe video that would help me with this
    Cheers

    I have really gotten completely stressed: This is what is said on this page of information
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS88D71543-E7FD-4726-80E 0-7FEA376A5239.html
    3. Choose a menu template.
    Encore templates are predesigned menus that come in several styles. Buttons on the templates automatically link to DVD markers placed in the sequence. Encore creates additional submenus as necessary to accommodate all the DVD markers in a sequence.
    THIS SHOULD FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND BELOW:
    BUTTONS ARE AUTOMATICALLY LINKED TO DVD MARKERS PLACED IN THE SEQUENCE. ENCORE CREATES ADDITIONAL SUBMENUS AS NECESSARY TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE DVD MARKERS IN A SEQUENCE.
    BUT THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WHEN I EXPORT FROM ADOBE PREMIERE PRO TO ENCORE IN THE CS3 PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES ENCORE...WHAT'S WRONG ??????!!!!!!
    THANKS AGAIN AND MERRY XMAS TO EVERYONE!

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
    From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.
