BUG: Additional VV4 Markers are not picked up

SVoBa wrote on 4/8/2003, 1:18 PM
While pulling together a DVD, i had all elements in place.

I then added a few new markers to a VV4 project, re-rendered it. DVDa acknowledged that the media has changed and asked if i wanted to update it. I clicked OK.

However, the new markers are not showing up when i inserted the scene selections.

I had to close DVDa and reopened it to have the additional markers recognized.

This is a bug.

FWIW, I created markers in a an AVI file. I rendered this file as another AVI (to save disk space, so I could delete the original media), and as an MPEG2 file. In both cases, I saved markers as part of the file. When I open the AVI in Vegas or DVDA, the markers are retained, but not when I open the MPEG2 file. However, in DVDA, I can open the MPEG2 file, and import markers from the AVI file.

I assume the MPEG2 format does not support the saving of markers. Either that, or it's a bug. If not a bug, it would be nice if the docs were clearer on this subject, and the save markers option didn't appear when saving to formats that don't support it.

I have not had problems with markers gone missing from rendered MPEG-2 file when it is used by DVDa. As i always edited with AVI files, i did not notice if the markers are missing when used by VV4.

Have you tried loading the markers manually from the DVDA timeline after you changed the AVI?

Did you mean re-doing the "Insert Scene Selections..." thing?

Yes, i did that. DVDa reloaded the old markers only (the ones the original MPEG-2 media was opened with).
