Hello everone. I've just started using DVD Maestro, after reading four or five different guides and tutorials. I came across trouble at my first go...
Chapters
I have extracted chapter list from the original IFO using ChapterXtractor 0962. I tried using the DVDMaestro preset at first, and Maestro responded with a parsing error while importing the chp file. I then set the format to %hh:%mm:%ss%cc and Maestro could import the chapter list but only to mess up with it. While I had 47 chapters I only got 22 and they were not exactly were they should be. I then only choose to extract/import 22 points, this time only 11 were taken and they were wrong too. Both times all chapters were moved at the first half of the movie. What is going wrong here?
Subtitles
A similar trouble this one. Subs in two languages were ripped using Subrip 115 as BMP and a Maestro son file was saved. The English subs were more in number, as they were starting earlier in the movie than the Greek ones. I imported both son files and everything went wrong! The two subtitles were previewed as to start at the same time, and the text was not what it should be. In other words, random subs are now appearing with random timing, totally irrelevant to that of the movie. What is going on here?
I compiled the project and the movie was playing fine, sound perfectly in sync and the chapters (wrong as they were) working fine. The subs were totally out of time and space for both languages, words that belong to the last scene showing at the beginning where no-one was speaking etc. There isn't a fps conflict, as I have made sure 25fps were defined all the way through various programs, since the movie is PAL. I suppose it's some generic trouble with Maestro not being able to correctly interpret the time markings in both chapter and subtitle lists? What am I supposed to do now? DVD Maestro vesion/build is 2912Final
Any tip/info/help greatly appreciated. Cheers to all.
