Making dvd-menu based chapter markers and burning it to dvd.

There is no more Encore in Creative Cloud programs and it can't be download anywhere.
Do I really have to change program provider or is there so way to make menu and dvd with Adobe programs

CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 will help
The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

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.

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."

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.

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

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!

DVD Studio Pro - Markers and burning DVD questions

Hi everybody... I'm not very experienced in DVDSP, actually this is my first professional project with DVD Studio.
I have three issues I don't know how to solve:
1. I have 4 differents video tracks in my DVD. Each track has some Chapter markers. When I use the simulator to test the NEXT/PREVIOUS Chapter everything is ok and when the last Chapter of the current video is reached, if I press again "Next Chapter" nothing happens and that's ok. The problem is that when I test the DVD in my DVD reader, pressing "Next Chapter" when the last chapter of a video is reached goes into the following track. I do not want this to happen, I just want to limit the chapter next/prev on the current track. Is it possible?
2. I set precise chapter markers for the beginning of a new section. On Mac Simulator and Apple DVD Player everything ok, but on the actual standalone DVD player the audio of the next marker is cut for about 2 sec... So the chapter is not exactly as design, first moments of the audio cannot be heard and that's very bad because this is a video lecture... Anyone has experienced that or has an idea on how to solve?
3. I read in the forum that to burn the actual DVD many suggests to use Toast instead. When I create the build and import in Toast the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files, I see that DVD Studio creates some layout non DVD standard files in the VIDEO_TS folder. Some suggests to remove these two files. It is safe? Why DVD Studio includes them in the build if they are NOT according to DVD standards??
Thank you so much for anyone who can help!!

3. OK so if it's safe to remove the files from the build manually no problem. I've found only two files one .LAY and one .layout. Are there any other files that need to be removed?
No, those are the only ones. One other item that you've probably already figured out: The Orange Book ("the DVD Bible") is very specific about content and very limited in what it allows. I believe the reason for this is that the specs were decided almost 20 years ago and as compared to current electronic devices, the players are dumb as a rock. While we're all willing to deal with this, it leaves one significant pitfall: If you are not careful with the naming of your "Build" folders you'll quickly have dozens of identical folders with contents that appear identical except for how many identically named files they contain.
I've adopted a policy of religiously naming my build folders with descriptive and explicit names ("Wash D-I Recital 2013 Build 1") and stayed away from anything that requires me to remove the .layout file. It is the only actual identifier 'til you open the VIDEO_TS folder in a player. DVDSP doesn't actually remove the layout files, it just discards them from the data stream as it burns the files.
That said, thanks for the work-around idea you came up with; you're going to be a really good author with that kind of savvy.

Chapter markers and buttons

i have created a track and assined chapters to each button and when it burns they don't work. when i simulate the dvd it works fine. in the log it says buttons 5, 6,7 &8 are inactive. this the second dvd of a 3 dvd set. the first one works fine. i just used it to creat the second one and reassined the markers and renamed the buttons. what has happened?

im not sure if this was the right way to do this but i made sure the 2 buttons on top of each other were assigned the same asset, and it worked.
originally i put a solid white bkgrnd with type set in photoshop, in the drop zone button in the black and white chapter index template provided for weddings. but it came out looking real bad on screen. so i made a simple button and placed it on top of a solid white tiff so the type would look good in the menu on screen.
whats the trick to make a 3 dvd set have the correct chapter names when jumping between chapters in dvd player. on a dvd player (for a tv) it dosent display the chapter name it just goes to the next chapter?

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.

Chapter markers and exporting from FCE

Hi guys, hope you can help.
I am trying to export a film from FCE (latest version) into iDVD 08 retaining the chapter markers.
The problem is that it is not happening when I export using the QuickTime Conversion option, since there appears to be no 'chapter markers' option in any drop-down menu there. Of course, there IS that option in the 'Make QuickTime File' export BUT the film (which is in widescreen) then doesn't export as a widescreen file. That only happens if I use the Conversion option and set the size to 1024x576 or whatever. Since this option to set the size doesn't exist in the simpler 'make quicktime file' export option, I'm at a loss to know what to do.
Basically, I either export as a squashed image but keep the chapter markers OR export the film in the correct ratio but with no chapter markers.
It's really frustrating. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
TP

If you have Quicktime Pro the 16:9 fix is easy.
From FCE export the .mov with Export/Quicktime Movie together with its chapters.
In the QT Pro Player open the exported .mov movie, open its property window (cmd-J), select the Video Track, then open the Visual Settings tab, uncheck Preserve Aspect Ratio and set the Scaled Size to 1024x576, and save.
Now when you import this .mov to iDVD it preserves its 16:9 aspect ratio.

DVDSP Chapter Markers and Segmenting

For some reason our DVDSP chapter markers in FCP don't end up in the final mpeg video when we allow segmenting to the cluster. Disable "Allow Segmenting", and all chapter markers show up in DVDSP. Any reason why this happens or how to fix it?

Just to follow up, we installed 2.1 (FCP Studio 5.1) on all machines and now it works.

Chapter Markers and Artwork Doesn't appear when Podcast sent to iWeb

Chapter markers and the timeline ?

OK so I am a fool, thought I would get ahead of myself but...
Just finished cutting a 2cam dance show, then puting a SWIPE (See Digital Juice)between each dance and while I am there puting a chapter marker so the kids can skip dances, you know the drill. Now for the problem...
I need 30 secs at the top of my timeline (TL) for an opening but as I have learned in the past if I shunt the TL 30secs along I will lose the chapter marker points by 30 secs. Is there any way of telling FCP to shunt all the footage and the chapter markers as well ?
(FC Studio 2)

If you're going to DVDSP with your timeline, consider creating another free standing sequence and import it into DVDSP and place on the timeline ahead of your other long sequence or on a different track and have that sequence jump to your other long sequence.

How to Ignore chapter markers and play track without interruption to end

I have imported an FCP track with half a dozen markers in it.
In the main menu I link to this track and want to play it through in its entirety without stopping
In a separate Chapter Menu button, I link to a bunch of submenus so you can play each chapter separately.
Ever since putting in the submenus, the track won't play in its entirety and stops and goes back to the main menu when the play head hits the first chapter marker.
How can I make it do what I want?
Also, what is the accepted practice with chapters...does one set them to go right to the end of the track or just to come back to the submenu where they were first started?
TB

Yes, I did,, but in desperation, I removed all the menus except the main menu...so now I have
just a DVD with Two tracks in it. When I play the first track, it plays to the first chapter marker then suddenly jumps to the end and plays the last few secs....Do I need to start all over again with a fresh import?
