Using the IFOEdit/CCE Guide for authoring with Scenarist 2.6. Both video and audio streams have "drop frame" set, exported scenario for chapter instertion. When I try to save scenario with chapters imported from either .d2f, ChapterXtractor or main .ifo I get the following error in a popup window:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wxFrame1.pyo", line 115, in OnGo
File "TrackNotebook.pyo", line 573, in go
File "TrackNotebook.pyo", line 620, in loadNewChapterPoints
File "ScenaristScript.pyo", line 274, in setScenes
File "DVDTime.pyo", line 347, in __cmp__
File "DVDTime.pyo", line 144, in getFrameCount
File "DVDTime.pyo", line 181, in __dropFrameCount
DVDTime.Error: Invalid drop frame time 01:46:00;01/29.97
<InformationalMessagesFrame>.DisableOutput()

After that message I cannot save the scenario with chapters. Please help, what am I doing wrong?

I remember getting an error similiar to this but with an earlier ver of Scenchap. To fix it, I just added the chapters in manually in Scenarist.

That's what i was trying to avoid, manually creating 40+ chapter points. :(

Same situation. DVD is Ocean's Eleven.

At first I thought it was because some of my PGCs were interlaced, but even by hacking the video and running them all Forced Film in DVD2AVI, and then running pulldown on all of them after CCE (with the progressive box checked, of course), and making sure every file, audio and video, was marked pull down in Scenarist.

Yet I also get in ScenChap 1.27
"DVD Time Error: Invalid drop frame time 01:01:00;00/29.97"

ScenChap has worked fine for me on 5 other DVDs - this is the first to cause a problem.

I will probably re-encode the main movie, just to see if there was perhaps an error in the encoding, but I doubt it as Scenarist probably wouldn't have accepted it then.

Frustrated.
