My set-top DVD recorder automatically generates chapters every x minutes. These chapters don't show up on the DVD menus but the SKIP button will jump to the next one.
I'm burning DVDs with NeroVision and want to create chapters that aren't on the menus. Is there any way to do that? I've gone through all the documentation and nothing is mentioned about that. If NeroVision won't do the job, will any other Nero component do that? Recode will sorta let you do the opposite: remove the chapters but leave them on the menu! LOL
If I'm understanding you right, if you want to create new chapters with Nero and disregard the old chapters, simply take the VOB files from the DVD you created and put those into a NeroVision project. There should be an option to merge video files. Make sure they are in the order you are wanting and then merge them into 1 file. Right click on the new file and select create chapters. After doing so, select the "more" button (should be near the bottom, depending on version). There should be a checkbox to enable/disable the creation of the menu. Also, under the video options tab, you can select the bit rate of the file and also whether you want PAL or NTSC format. If choose to make menus, the wizard is pretty helpful. On the final screen, choose your output. It can write directly to the DVD burner or output to a VIDEO_TS folder on the hard drive that can be burned with Nero. The process should only take a few hours since file is already VOB. Hope this answers your question.
For future reference, I finally did find an option in NeroVision to only create title menus and not chapter menus.
I wish software like Nero had help files that let you actually find this kind of information via logical searchs. But I guess I should save my wishes for things like winning lottery numbers.
Based on my experience with Nero providing (sic) a helpful, rewarding end-user experience, and Ahead's proclivity to screwing their customers, I'd say you have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting a satisfactory response/answer from the help files. It's akin to clinging to a crisco-covered inflatable raft in the middle of the ocean sporting a gaping air leak.
