I am trying to burn a 1 1/2 hour video of a play to DVD. The burning process works fine, but when I play my DVD in my computer or in my DVD player the Chapters don't work.

I have inserted Scene Markers, and when I preview it inside PP2's Preview it works fine. But you can't skip to the next chapter when I watch the DVD in my computer or DVD player.

What am I doing wrong?

NOTE: This DVD doesn't include a menu. It is an auto play DVD.

Are you adding regular markers or DVD markers?

If you aren't doing this, I think you should be adding DVD markers: Marker > Set DVD Marker > Scene.

I am adding DVD Markers using the "Set DVD Marker" button in the timeline panel under the Time code.

If I recollect correctly, PrPro 2 chapter markers only work if you add a menu to DVD output from PrPro 2, otherwise they won't be there, ridiculous I know, I came into this problem a while back and what a hassle for something so basic.

Does Encore allow me to create a DVD without a menu?

I am able to get it to work. Are you burning the DVD within PPRO? Project settings, make sure markers are enabled.

My last project I had trouble with Encore and Premiere 2.0 as far as the DVD version. I dropped the final m2t of the project into Nero's software, and it made me a very pretty SD downconvert, with the ability to add scene markers. That was my last resort the other day, it might be worth a shot if you need it urgently?

YES you can. Drag the video asset or timeline to the icon Disc. The 1 that start 1st. Made sure you set the end action and the title button back to chapter 1.

Thanks for evryones reply. My urgency has expired as I am now at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival until the 28th and I won't be able to work on my prodject until I get home.
