Scenario: 2-hour movie captured from VHS and converted to a VBR MPEG by TMPGEnc
Observation: The MPEG imports into DVDA just fine. The problem (if it is indeed a problem) comes when attempting to add chapter marks: scrolling through the MPEG takes forever. DVDA takes ages to "catch up" to where I want to go, making a process that should take no more than 10-15 minutes take five times as long to complete.
I realize that I may be showing off my ignorance and "newbiness" here, but I wanted to know if this is basically normal behavior for VBR-encoded files, or if DVDA might somehow be at fault here. (I've noticed that CBR-encoded files are a breeze to scroll through.) If this is normal behavior, I'll gladly crawl back under my rock and live with it. If it's not, then maybe BillyBoy can add this to his list of pet peeves. ;-)
