Hi there,
I am backing up Mullholland Dr and everything has gone smooth upto creating the chapters and cells in Scenarist.
VTS07 (main movie) has just 2 chapters (the second one is 50 frames) but the first one has 25 cells. As it is mentioned in the guides, I used ScenChap to export the chapters from the original IFO to the Scenarist, it did the job but the chapters not the cells. So I was wondering if it is ok to go on without worrying about the cells, or should I create 25 cells manually ? If yes, how can I do that ?

Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Cells can be important sometimes (for example with button over video). iF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CELL TIMES, you can use ifoupdate and save the chapters per vobid, then you'll also get the cell times. To create a cell in scenarist you'll have to drag the cell to the previous cell. Otherwise (if you drag it directly to the pgc symbol) you'll create a chapter.

BTW: Maybe I'm mistaking but if you use scenchap you can also save the celltimes I think. To do this drag your ifo file to scenchap and choose something like copy from ifo.
