Info:

Lets say u have a music dvd with a bunch of musicvids on it, rip it to svcd and everything works out fine. Burning off the *.bins with your DVD2SCVD generated *.cue files works excellent with any Tool.

Problem:

The problem i come across is that the chapters get messed up or dont work at all. I'm not able to skip to a different or even the next chapter when watching my SVCD disc on a external/standalone DVD player and its not the players fault. I'm quiet familiar with creating *.cue sheets for audio cds manually and i never run into any trouble with it.

Scenario:

CD_Image_File_CD1.bin created
CD_Image_File_CD1.cue created
Bin File contains the usual folder structure
Bin File contains one single *.mpg file

This is what the automatically generated *.cue file looks like:

FILE "CD_Image_File_CD1.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
FLAGS DCP
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
FLAGS DCP
INDEX 00 00:04:00
INDEX 01 00:06:00

Solution?

The Music Video has 11 chapters, i want to be able to skip back or forward to each one when watching it on my external dvd player, what do i need to fix up in my current *.cue file? I've tried extending the INDEX list for TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 to:

FILE "CD_Image_File_CD1.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
FLAGS DCP
INDEX 01 00:00:00
INDEX 02 05:17:00
INDEX 03 11:04:00
INDEX 04 14:27:00
INDEX 05 20:26:00
INDEX 06 24:53:00
INDEX 07 30:22:00
INDEX 08 34:55:00
INDEX 09 39:32:00
INDEX 10 44:52:00
INDEX 11 48:28:00

but it didnt work. who has dealt with this matter? do i need to set it to:

FILE "CD_Image_File_CD2.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
FLAGS DCP
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
FLAGS DCP
INDEX 01 05:17:00
TRACK 03 MODE2/2352
FLAGS DCP
INDEX 01 11:04:00

and so on? i'm confused on this, but i'm sure yall know how to do this properly,
thanks for caring and any replies in advance!
