I guess Scenarist calls them scenes in their help, but I seem to think of them as track marks/chapters in an episode.
I know I've done this before, but am having problems now with the last couple of DVD's I've tried in Scenarist. I capture episodes of the TV shows I like to watch and have done just a basic DVD in Scenarist. All of a sudden though, the episodes don't play right because there seems to be a problem with the scenes/chapters I've added for easy navigation through the episodes.
In the track editor, I've selected the episode and went to view--simulation window so that I could use the time buttons there to put scenes/tracks/chapters in the exact places I want. Then I click the new scene/chapter button back on the track editor screen to create the scene/chapter. I see the different scenes being made in the timeline and in the track editor margin. However, I can not skip scenes/chapters in simulation mode. It says that it's already on the last PGC or something (can't remember the exact error since I'm at work--but this is bothering me). I create a basic menu, link the buttons to each episode and then back to the menu. I create the DVD and then the next problem starts. Once I select the episode it starts just fine, but it only plays up to where I created the fist scene/chapter and then moves on to the next episode. So, each episode out of four only plays the first 7 or so minutes and then moves to the next episode.
I've done this before, but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong on this now. I'm sure I'm over-looking something as by all means I'm not a Scenarist expert at all, but I just love the auto-routing stuff. Not that routing is hard to do in ReelDVD.
TIA!
