Time offset when importing VobEdit stream in Maestro

[sundance]

I used VobEdit 0.52 to demux a video stream from some vob files. After importing that m2v file into Maestro I noticed a "Video Timestamp Offset" that showed up left of the time line. So importing my chapter file did only import those marks beyond that offset. Clicking on that time "button" to set it to 00:00:00:00 did actually reset it, but importing the chapter list still doesn't work as expected :-(

Any ideas? (all but setting the chapter marks manually like I did...)

Doesn't work as expected or doesn't work at all? Your video is probably drop-frame and Maestro always seems to bitch when trying to import chapters onto a drop-frame clip.

So some searches on the forum for Maestro, chapter import, drop-frame, and pulldown.exe.

Trilight,
"doesn't work as expected" means it worked like not having reset the time offset (the actual displayed offset was some 57 mins; so only chapter marks > 57 mins were imported and set to t = t(chaptermark) - 57 min).
Btw, what's a drop-frame clip?
(my video stream came from the R2 PAL movie "Ice Age").

P.S. It Lotus Notes that sucks... (picture this: you have an excellent running Exchange/Outlook system and some company heroes favour LotNot for it's nice big icons...)

Sorry. You're using PAL so drop-frame doesn't even enter into it. So even if you reset the clock to zero, it still doesn't import all of your chapters?

That how it is. But just for video streams demux'd with VobEdit; if I re-encode it w/CCE there no problem...
