Same here,

but the strange thing is, on my first test with the 1.0.5 Build 2 and two Chapters (16 + 17) of 'Pitch Black' the dvd chapters with vcdxbuild worked on WinDVD 3.1, PowerDVD 4.0 XP and my dvd-player. But then i wanted to test the change cd picture and title picture feature and from that moment on the dvd chapters never worked again in the 1.0.5 Build 2. I then uninstalled and reinstalled it but no chance, the chapters don't work anymore. Strange isn't it?

I then did a complete reinstall of the 1.0.4 Build 2 and the chapters work perfectly on all software and hardware dvd-players.

And as 'marks430' and 'stadlthanner' said, i think there must be something wrong with the xml-file creation because there is always only one chapter entry with the 1.0.5 Build 2 although the 'dvd2svcd chapters file.ini' has the correct number and position of the chapters in it and is exactly the same in both versions.

Here the xml-file from both versions with exactly the same two chapters and the same settings for dvd2svcd:

That's strange.

I did a complete backup of all files created in both test-runs with the two versions + the dvd2svcd.ini, so i could post any further information you need to track down this bug.

BTW it is a great program and you do a fantastic job. So many thanks and i wish you and your family and friends a merry christmas and also a happy new year from germany.
