I'm almost finished with my hd-dvd authoring program, however the chapters seem to glitch when being played on my toshiba hd-dvd player. Powerdvd doesnt have any problems. I'm using the these x264 settings:

--pass 2 --bitrate 8000 --stats ".stats" --level 4.1 --keyint 14 --min-keyint 2 --ref 2 --mixed-refs --bframes 2 --bime --weightb --direct auto --filter -2,-1 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 14475 --vbv-maxrate 24000 --qcomp 0.5 --merange 12 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "output" "input" --mvrange 511 --aud --nal-hrd

I then use h264info to do a (3:2 pulldown /change to 29.97), so i can import into scenarist.

This chapters issue has been driving me crazy. I did fix several issues in my program though trying to fix this bug.

Thanks

Chapter must be exactly at Iframe time. You are sur that your timing for chapter are always correct?

I'm using scenarist 4.12. I've tried creating avc videos with x264, mainconcept, and cinevision. However, every time i create a disc and play it back on my toshiba player the video glitches. I've used the cinevision timecode window to see the i frame times. I've then used this number to input into scenarist for the chapter.

Since my hd-dvd authoring program is based on scenarist, if i can't get scenarist working i cant get my program working either.

Here is a sample from nbc news that glithes between chapters on my toshiba player dvd-rw udf 2.5 :)

Any suggestions on a method to encode an avc file and then create chapters in scenarist would be awsome.
