Thats a very cruel answer, are you a school teacher? Fair comment though I am not the best at reading manuals (had the same problem at school) We all respond to different methods of teaching and mine is very visual i.e. by demonstration rather than reading. Ah well! it's off to the manual.

Yes...by the way - I am a school teacher.

But that is besides the point.

Your post stated with "Why does the manual never feature the paticular problem you have?"

The manual - if read - does walk you through how to do this.

I can understand that you are a visual learning type person - but don't come into a forum and start posting that there are problems with a manual that you evidently haven't read.

Now...if you had read the manual and still were having problems understanding it, or tried to do what it says but were still unable to figure it out - then that would be something different.

But until you do that - that warm running wet feeling running down my leg isn't rain.

RTFM and be the happier for it.

OK you made your point and I accept my failings, however lets not let this lapse into a slanging match which happens too frequently in these forums. I like many others come here to ask the help of others who have mastered techniques ahead of us. My reply was made with a sense of humour, my feeling is yours was made with more than a hint of sarcasm, and arrogance, if I misundertand then I offer my apologies. If I want to be insulted there are many other places I can go.
Often help is requested when the mind is awash with confusion at attempting to master an unfamiliar piece of software (this is my first time using DVD-A) and reading the manual at that time can sometimes deepen the confusion. Let's not forget that many times manuals are very poorly written and in my opinion this one is not bad, but not great. I've had to figure much of it out myself. Anyway lets help each other not insult.

Yes...you are correct. My comments were made with more than just a hint of sarcasm and arrogance. But not arrogance in the true sense of the word - but more of a sense of "what are you talking about???"

See...you did it again in this reply. You talk about requesting help "...when the mind is awash with confusion"....and you say that manuals are very poorly written and that the SoFo manual "...is not bat, but not great" - but then you freely admit you didn't read the manual.

That doesn't connect for me.

I have no problems sharing knowledge - or sharing the tips I have picked up and/or worked through. But I do have a problem when someone starts off talking about a manual having problems with it when that someone hasn't read the manual.

In this particular issue you are having - had you read the manual (or even the "help" file) you would have figured out your mistake in about a minute. But instead - you have taken up the past day (or so) in a forum chat room talking about ying (or is it yang) that make no sense.

I hope you figure out what you need to figure out.

kameronj, you are a total a**hole in my humble opinion. You spent far more time screwing with the poster than it would take to just answer his question. I don't have a problem with ignoring lame questions on the board, but taunting the poster is a different story.

Thank you, just for your further information I do read through the manual before posting it's the obvious thing to do, that does not mean I will understand it. Thanks to your confirmation that the information I wanted was covered in the manual I re-read it very carefully and found what I was looking for and I am very grateful. I don't waste my time here taunting people who are looking for help, I get on with doing the work I have. Others I suspect spend their time here criticising because they have nothing else to do, jealous perhaps? My feeling is there are other issues going on in your life that makes you take the stance you do, what's wrong with accepting differences of opinion without having to resort to insults because they don't agree with your own. Still that's the touble with the world.
Please lets act in the spirit of the forum and help each other.

I totally agree with nolonemo. No wonder the world is in such a mess with people like kameronj around.

Both you (peaceinouttime) and you nolonemo couldn't be more right - and more wrong at the exact same time.

Regardless of how much time I spend not answering the question (or how much of an ass I am) is not the point.

The point is the question that was asked - or rather, the backward way the original poster went about asking the question.

I don't think the world is in such a mess due to people like me - I think it is in a terrible state due to boobs like the person who wrote the inital post...and people like you who back people like him.

See...you people let those people get away with all sorts of stupid things - and never call them on it. You coddle them and make it so it is okay to be retarded.

That is why they have the little "Ignore this user" button...which I enjoy using.

Now I get to use it for two more people.

If only the real world were like this - there would be peace in our time.

Wow! You really are one Arrogant f***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, patience only goes so far. All I did was ask a question. I hope you realise that not one word of all those that you have written here has anything to do with Vegas. Just what are you doing here?

I think what he's doing here is just f'in with people. I would just move on...there's plenty of people out here who are actually interested in helping each other. Don't worry about it & don't take it personally.

Can we go back to the question?

I also run into this problem. I spent time in Vegas to mark all the scenes to perfection. Happy with my work I render it. Then once my mpg file is finished open DVD-A and add the media to my menu.

I then select insert scene selection (It is not grayed out by the way) but the problem that I'm seeing is that when I go to the newly created page, I find only one marker (chapter) and it is just the chapter 1 for the start of the movie. Where did all the other chapters go? Well it doesn't happen everytime. Maybe 20% of the time.

So then I have to open the media in DVD-A and redo my work of finding the right place. I find this not useful because it is less flexible so I would prefer to do it in Vegas.

So is there an option that I need to check before rendering? Thanks for your help.

kameronj please spend the time answering the question. Thanks.

Do you always check the option in the Vegas rendering dialog box to save the markers in the rendered video?

fabqb,If you copied the MPEG file to another folder/computer you'll also need to bring over the .sfl file. This is where the chapter markers and other metadata is stored for an MPEG file rendered by Vegas 4.
