This MAY be a question better suited for the Vegasaur tech support team. I thought I would ask it here since it does generally work well with Vegas Pro 17. I have (3) clips. The source file is a .mp4 for all (3) clips. Total runtime for all clips is less than 120 min. I used Vegasaur to "Instant Render" the DVD as an .iso file. The (3) chapter markers I created with Vegasaur are not present in the output DVD iso file Vegasaur created. I'm using VLC to playback the output file. Why are the markers not showing up in the output file? I'm attaching the "media info" for all three clips. Many thanks, in advance, to anyone that can help with this relatively elementary issue, (so it seems). What am I missing here, besides sleep?

Again, many thanks for those that try and help. I'm once again perplexed.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that sometimes, the encode to DVD spec does not complete. When this happens, I obviously can't check the final results in VLC. But, it does pose the question as to why the encode is freezing to began with and if the issues are related, (regarding the lack of chapters in the output file). Here is a screen shot of where it stopped on this last try.
I'm guessing it failed in clip 3. It could have been the end of clip 2. It's worth noting that these files were obtained from Vimeo with permission from the copyright holder.
