Apologies if this has already come up, but I haven't been able to find the topic if it has....
I happened to open a DVDA1 project yesterday in DVDA2 almost accidentally since I double clicked on the project file and it opened in DVDA2 automatically...(I guess that's normal...)
Anyway, this particualr project is very simple in its architecture, basically consisting of one long video with chapters set in Vegas, with a button to "play all" and another linking to sub-menus with the individual chapters that play independently. The burnt DVD works like a charm.
To my surprise, when I tried t preview the project from within DVDA2, the chapters did not work: basically any chapter played would play the whole video. I initially thought that the project had lost the structure. I then decided to check how the same project previewed from within DVDA1 and surprise surprise it works as designed: ie. chapters played chapters...So there is definitely something happening in DVDA2 with projects made in DVDA1. I would not give this much thought were it not for the fact that:
a) If I were to burn the same project from within DVDA2, I would feel insecure as to whether the original strucutre would be kept (ie. it's only a preview issue)
b) In future we will need a way to identify which projects were done with DVDA1 or DVDA2 in order to maintain the originlal structure.
Anyone esle experience this? I confess I only had the chance to check this particular project, so its by no means a complete scientific test...And I had no DVDRW around to test a burn...
Would appreciate any input on this,
Thanks
Paul.
