Hi i have put 3 svcd on 1 dvd-r with out re-encodeing the svcd to dvd format. Thank you all for your help in that.

Next i like to make chapters i have made the menus and bottons and everthing last thing to do it chapters. I have used SpruceUp DVD to make chapters be for so i now how to do them. BUT i never doen them when the mpg file was not in dvd format. when i go to pick out where i want the chapters to be i cant make them.

1. i fould out that the SVCD was at 480x480 and it didn't play in the SpruceUp DVD chapter part of the program. It crached SpruceUp DVD. Then i change it to 352X480 it played it in the SpruceUp DVD chapter part of the program. But then i go to click the Red flag it put a flag at 1min in the movie but then i tell it to make a botton when that chapter i pick it crachs again.


2. I re-encode a 5min sample of the movie to 720X480 then go to make chapters works and then make bottons form the chapter flags works. Iam guess that the movie HAS to be in dvd format to make chapters.


IS there anyway around this. i used DVDMaestro but i don't now how to make menus or the templats for the menu. I have read teh doom9 guide on DVDMaestro and i just can't make it.

well i kind of fixed it. i use tmpeg to cut a 2 sec sean where i want the chapter to start. then change it to dvd format open it in SpruceUp DVD Authoring. make a backgroup pic of it then. add the pic in the menu i want it in. then use DVDMaestro to make the menus i found that DVDMaestro is GREAT and easy to so menus with.
