in the tscv guide, it states the follwing:

""Here's the result of your import. When you click on a chapter time now you'll see the chapter start frame in the preview window."" ""For multiple CDs check the more than 1 disc checkbox in the Import Chapters from part of the window (on the left), set CD size is in to frames and enter the number of frames for all your discs.""

this is after you load the ifo into chapter extractor, copy the raw data, paste it in the plugin: chapter extractor import" and convert and send to tscv.

question: when they say: For multiple CDs, are they referring to source or output? and, when they say: and enter the number of frames for all your discs" how does one determine the total number of frames of any given disc? my input sources are two mpg files that i created with dvd2svcd, along with the respective avi file that i created by running the dv2 project file through vfapi. (as per the guide) hmm, i am just wondering here, since there is only one avi (vfapi) file but two mpg files creatd by dvd2svcd, do i need to merge (append?) the two mpg's, then load IT and not the two into tscv? and let tscv handle the subsequent splitting?

and another side note: i envy and respect all you who understand this stuff to the letter, i am learning, but its a lot of info!! cheers.

Ok.

TSCV only works on the CD your using at the moment (so the output from DVD2SVCD). So you add your mpeg and say how many frames are in THAT mpeg. Load up the avisynth or VFAPI from DVD2SVCD to CCE (seting up stage) or virtualdub to find out how many frames are in it (or make a DVD2AVI project file of the finished mpeg, convert that with VFAPI and load it into VDUB, you have to do that anyway for menus).

TSCV Does not split files !!!!!

Also put in the number of frames BEFORE you import from chapterXtractor.

Also when you load MPEGs into DVD2AVI it will automatically load subsequent mpegs. Just delete those from the add window
