hello,
again i've a problem with my authoring.
i've one title with 190 chapter.
when i use dvdauthor to mux all things, there's no bug.
but when test the dvd, only the 62 first chapter are usable (mpc and my standalone dvd player do the same).
when i use ifoedit to tests the chapters, the 190 chapter works.

so my question, is the dvd standard format limited to 62 chapter by title, or is it a muxing problem ?

It's 99. Check this thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61254&highlight=maximum+ifo)

It seems that dvdauthor allows 255 chapters per title, but since a title in dvdauthor can have only 1 PGC this reflects the number of allowed chapters/programs. Through tests I found that SW players play all 255 chapters, while my standalone stops at chapter 127.

That's easy - your player considers the number to be a 7-bit number.
190 - 128 = 62

And I could not approve your attachment, that violates our rules. Please don't put it on a server anywhere either. I looked at it, and your description of the problem is enough.
