I am having a lot of problems reauthoring multiple PGCs in these programs. Iam using the CCE IFOUpdate method.
First I tried Maestro, using playlists. The problem I was having was that some of the chapter points in the playlists didn't correspond with chapters in the original movie. So, for example, I impotrted all the chapters from the movie into Maestro using Chapter Xtractor, then created a playlist. All fine up to here. But then, I had 20 seconds of a logo which was PGC 2. The first chapter point in the movie was 46 seconds, so in order to create this, I had to add another chapter point to the timeline. When I did this, it changed all the times in my playlist fot the first PGC!!! I couldn't see any way to rectify this, so I moved on to Scenarist....
OK, Scenarist.... I got the hand of the basics, i.e. importing the video and audio, and creting a script to import into SCenChap, then opening from script in Scenarist again. I also understood that each VTS folder was a new PGC, but adding all the points for each PGC confused me. Do I add a new scene for each point? If so, how do I stop this new scene appearing as a chapter in the movie? God, I hope people are understanding this...!!!!
I am going to attempt to do Crossroads tonight, which has 10 PGCs!!! Can anybody give me steps as to how to do this??
Thanks for reading!
