no chapter select and wrong play time

[leonb]

Hi

I use VCDXBUILD through DVD2SVCD to create chapters for my SVCD movies and then use DEAMON TOOLS to burn the bin/cue through NERO. I have two problems:

1. When I play the svcd in my standalone dvdplayer, I can use the >>| and |<< keys to skip chapters, but not my numerical keypad to select a specific chapter. I have tried "PBC use Selections", "PBC use playlist" and No PBC. As well as deativating/ativating PBC on my dvdplayer. Nothing helps.

When playing the movie, my dvdplayer keep saying "CHAPTER 1" even when I skip to next chapters using >>| or|<<.

When I use NERO to burn multiple mpeg files to svcd, then I can use both the >>| and keypad to select the different mpegs.


2. The time display on my dvdplayer is wrong. When a movie is 60 minutes long, it will display that the movie is about 30 min long. I have tried using "ENTRYSVD", but it doesn't change anything.

Yet again when I use NERO SVCD to burn the same mpeg file (obviously without chapters) then the time is displayed correct.


Can anybody please help? Is there anything else I can try?

Point 2) is common on many DVD players. It's a matter of frimware in the player I think. Dont work yourself up over it. It usually starts to become a problem for mpegs longer then 38-40 minutes.

No help on your first point I'm afraid. But the problems could be connected ... i e length of movie.

cheers

Hi

I have seen that when I play the svcd in Powerdvd 3.0 , it also keeps saying CHAPTER 1 (on the display) even when I skip chapters.

Is this the way it should be or must it say e.g. CHAPTER 5 when you skip to chapter 5.
