Chapter trouble with 1.06 build 1

[TheeeGod 3]

i recently ripped tomb raider using dvd2svcd 1.06 b1. eveything came out perfect (thanks dvd2svcd!) except the chapters. this is the first time i had this problem: when i'm in the middle of wathcing a chapter, i press forward to go to the next chapter but it takes me back to the beginning of the original that i'm viewing. it does this for both of the disks and at first i thought it was my cd's so i burnt them over but the same problem stayed. i guess it's not a problem but just a little nuisance. but i would still like to get to the bottom of this so it doesnt happen again. i have included my log so you guys can see if there was anyting that went wrong. thanks for your help :)

This has always been the case for me. I have a Pioneer player and if I am in the middle of a chapter it takes me back even though I pressed forward. All I have to do is hit forward again and it works fine. I need to be at the beginning of a chapter for it to work right. I believe it is the players fault and not DVD2SVCD's fault.

mark thanks a lot for clearing that up ;) however this is the first time that this has happened though. i have ripped many other movies and they haven't had this problem. could this movie itself be the problem?

ps - GO RAMS! :D

[markrb]

If you used DVD chapters try fixed chapters with a CDRW disk if you can. If you still have the files you should be able to just use crash recovery and select fixed chapters. I use a settting of 90 seconds and prefer it over DVD chapters, because many DVD's have very large chapters.

Also take a look at the XML file and see if it looks ok. It might have some wierdness in it.

I also have the same problem with my Pioneer 344. I don't believe it has anything to do with the movie seeing as it happens totally at random.

I would also try and download the latest version of dvd2svcd 1.0.6 build 3 there is a few addons features here is one of those ..that might help your case out.

Enhancement: You now have 3 choices on how you want PBC to work when using VCDXBuild:
- Using Selections (prev, next, stop/return, chapter number selection)
- Using Playlist (prev, next and stop/return)
- No PBC at all.
