Renaming 1st scene/chapter marker??? at DVinfo.net

Not sure if DVDA belongs here, but seeing it is intimately connected to Vegas I'll try.

Anyone know how to rename the first scene/chapter marker in DVDA4? All other marker names can easily be changed but the first one never gives you the option - that I can see anyway.

Once you are in your scene selection menu, it can easily be changed there.
It is irritating that it can't be named on the DVDA timeline though.

Thanks Douglas.

Can I say how much I appreciate your book on Vegas. It's been a big help.

Pity about the typo gremlins that hit it! That must have been disappointing.:-)

They weren't typo gremlins.
They were left-over mistakes and comments by a sh**y copy editor. CMP should be completely and utterly ashamed of themselves for allowing the Mac-head jerk that copy edited the book (he's never used a PC in his life and for example, tried to copy-correct every instance where the words "Right-click" were used) to touch it. I'm horribly embarrased by the hack job he did on the book, and have nothing good to say about CMP as a result.
Now you know why I refused to do a book on Vegas 7 for them.

Incredible! It seemed to me that they are so widespread and of a similar nature, that it had to be some sort of a random software glitch.
