View Full Version : Possible Bug: Last Chapter cuepoint missing

Using 110b1b
I have been encoding some TNG DVDs, and noticed that the last chapter's cuepoint is missing completely. I double checked:
When I load the IFO, the episode has 8 chapters, their timings make sense and all seems well. However, the corresponding chapters.ini file does not show 8 but only 7 entry points:
[CHAPTERS]
Chapter0001=0
Chapter0002=4872
Chapter0003=16524
Chapter0004=26004
Chapter0005=35748
Chapter0006=41316
Chapter0007=44736

I have tried to attach the corresponding ifo, but it wasn't possible. I could rename it to jpg and try again, if a moderator considers this desirable.

All existing chapters seem to be properly placed, however, the last one is missing. I can confirm this behavior from my last encodes, all done in batch mode. Some CDs do not show this behavior, and perhaps I did those in single mode. I will try to do an episode in single mode and see if it is related.

Have you tried the latest version? If that dosen't work zipp up the ifo/chapter.ini and dvd2svcd log files and send to dvd2svcd.

Nope, didn't get a chance to, had to work off the batchload first. Since the Chapter.ini file is created relatively early, I will simply rerun an episode and see if it countains 7 or 8 chapters. If that file is missing the last chapter, so will be the CD, if I am not mistaken.

Just took a look at the non batch encode...
Same problem. Could someone please assure me that I should get 8 cuepoints in that file, if there are 8 chapters?

I would have to agree that it's cutting off the last chapter.
Using version 1.1.0 build 1b.

From R1 STNG ep 225

It seems that when I fixed the chapters in 1b I introduced the old bug with the missing last chapter.
