Hello all,
I am redoing our wedding video and when I am getting ready to put them onto the DVD with chapters, I am running into the following problems and I need help with.
1. I had four separated mpeg files for the Wedding Introduction, the Church Ceremony, the Reception and the Highlights. All these files had no chapter points inserted when I rendered them. How can I create a menu-based DVD in Vegas Architect to:
Have Chapter 1 starts at the beginning of the Wedding Introduction, Chapter 2 starts at the beginning of the Church Ceremony, and then followed by another 8 chapters evenly spaced during the Church Ceremony to the end of this segment. Then Chapter 11 starts at the beginning of the Reception and also with another 8 chapters evenly spaced till the end of the Reception. Finally, Chapter 21 is the Highlights. If there is a way to do so, will the DVD play continuously from the very beginning to the end on any DVD player?
2. I was trying the other alternate way by joining all these 4 mpeg files using the MPEG Joiner Program before I import into Architect and insert chapter points from there but I encountered the following problems:
A. The total time for the combined 4 mpeg files should 2 hours but after the joining process, it only showed 1 hour but however, the whole movie was there. What caused this?
B. When I inserted this joined mpeg file into Architect, some part of the movie could not be found on the timeline although when preview the file, it was there ??? For instance, I had a part on the movie where I showed the shot of our wedding invitation; at about the third minute into the movie, but when I clicked onto the third minute mark on the timeline, it showed me another part of the movie??? Has anyone encountered this problem? It is really strange
3. The other way I was thinking of doing is to start a new project, then insert all these 4 mpeg files, and create chapter points then re-render. If I do this, which seems to be the easiest way, will I loose any quality?
I would really appreciate any help I can get from you guys. I only have four days left to finish this project up to surprise my wife on our anniversary. Please, if you could, contact me directly at kvdangster@yahoo.com with any suggestions, tips or tricks.
Thank you so very much.
Kevin
