VideoStudio :: X5 DVD Authoring - Change Default Chapter Names
Apr 13, 2012
When I choose a DVD-menu the default chapter names are "chapter01" to chapter99" where 99 is the last chapter number. I do use the German language version. The it is "Kapitel01" to "Kapitel99".
I do not want to have the word "Kapitel" in each line of the menu. I only want to have the chapter number. "01" to "99". Not the short numbers which count from 1 again on each page of the menu.
Is it possible to change the text "Kapitel" to blank or to delet the text to get only the chapter numbers als default chapter names? Can I configure it manual in any configuration file. I think that the word "Kapitel" comes from a German language file? Can I change it to blank there?

I have successfully created a production and defined 34 chapters (and names), but when I proceed to the step of creating the menu for my DVD the menu only lists the chapters as "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc. all the way to Chapter 34. I expected the chapter names from the production to be carried forward into the DVD burning stage, but apparently not. How can I edit the text for the chapter names in the DVD menu?

Am on x5 and Windows 7
Am creating chapters in edit mode and adding chapter names. When I go to create mode I can find no-way to automatically populate the DVD menu with the pre-inputted names i created in edit mode. Assume this must be possible.

Corel have just released the alternative authoring module for X3, in response to our complaints about the existing one. It is in fact a reworked version of Movie Factory 7 Pro, but now has the SE (Special Edition) letters worked into its title.
I have been one of the lucky people who have had the full version of MF7 since its original limited release. (For some unknown marketing reason, Corel limited MF 7 Pro to Asia/Oceania and possibly Europe.) I also acted as one of the Beta testers of this SE release. Like its predecessors it works extremely well.
The release, unfortunately for some, is being done by the same method as the other updates for X3: via the Get More function. I have not yet been given a URL where it can be downloaded separately. In fact, I am rather doubtful that such an URL will be released since Corel obviously wish to restrict downloads to those who have a copy of X3.
I suspect a downside is that for new users of X3, it will again take 3 days for the download of MF7 SE to appear. (This strangely enough will include me as I just bought a new computer yesterday, and have installed X3 on it. But as yet -- unsurprisingly -- I don't even have the template packs showing in the Get More tab! But I guess I can install the full MF 7 Pro on this machine...)
MF7 SE has a virtually identical appearance to the full verions of MF7 and its predecessors, and a close similarity to the burning module of VS X2 and its predecessors. It will thus be very easy for users of previous versions to use.
It should be noted that the main limitation of this SE version is that it requires the user to first produce a final version of a video in X3. Then you open MF7 SE and insert that video or videos for authoring as normal. It will not accept project files from X3.

I've completed a project in X3 and burnt a DVD using X2 after reading some of the negative reviews of X3 authoring. I did burn a copy using MovieFactory 7 SE but found it was glitchy (stopping and jumping) which I attributed to my inability to lower the burn speed from 'Maximum'.
The on-screen quality of the MovieFactory DVD is better than the quality of the X2 authored DVD despite the fact that all settings appear to be identical! Looking at the titling, it is noticeably sharper in MovieFactory.
Settings on both are:
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 576, 25 fps
Frame-based
(DVD-PAL), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 7000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 256 kbps
Dolby Digital Audio, 48 KHz, 2/0(L,R)
Also, the files on the MovieFactory DVD are slightly larger suggesting there is some extra data (quality?) on it.

I am using VS X2, very happy with it. I have been burning a few SD DVDs with AVCHD and very happy there, too. The authoring options and menu templates is quite limited when compared to my options when creating a standard DVD.
I need to know what is the best additional program I should use to have more options when creating AVCHD discs and Blu-Ray when that time comes. Is it movie Factory 7? IS MF 6 more compatible with VS X2 and will it give me the same features as 7?

I am pulling myhair out here HAve just purchased X5 and having fun playing with it BUT I cannot figure out how to put a title on a chapter. If I add a chapter it will come up with the thumbnail and the time under it But unlike the earlier versions where you could simple change the title and thumbnail to what you want X5 seems to have hidden this feature very well.

Is there a way to preserve chapter markings when you output to an MP4? I output from VideoStudio Pro X4 to MPEG-4/iPhone H.264 (640 X 480) and the chapters disappear. I'd also like to have a title page, too, but I don't know how to do that either.

I'm trying to create a blu-ray movie that contains AVCHD videos of various vacations that I've been on over the past year (just your typical collection of home movies), but I've had problem after problem in trying to create the damn thing. I've used VS Pro X4 to create four individual movies (representing four different vacations, each saved as vsp files); I then created my "menu file" to compile all four movies into a single blu-ray with each one having menu buttons that then go to chapter sections. Then, due to VSX4 never completing a successful burn, I simply had it create the Blu-Ray folders and then used ImgBurn to burn them to disc.
ANYWAYS, what kind of project settings do I need to be using in VS? I will be playing the disc in a PS3 (not sure if that matters as opposed to a regular BD player). I finally managed to produce a successful burn, but it was only able to play once in my PS3 - for some reason after it initially played fine, it wouldn't play again even though there was no damage to the disc. The disc was a BD-RE DL by Maxell. I had previously tried BD-DL Verbatim discs, but I was never able to finish a burn with those.
I'm just trying to figure out why I'm having so much trouble getting my movie from my computer to a playable disc!! Dx

I have run into a roadblock -- I am having trouble authoring my DVD. I have watched the tutorials and read (and re-read) the User Guide.
I used my Canon HF S200 to shoot video of family reunions. It is about 2 1/2 hours long and I have about 32 chapters. I am ready to burn a DVD. but my chapters weren't appearing in the DVD Preview.
Further investigation showed that my project is 10.01 GBs and that my DVD only has 4.38 GB usable space.
It doesn't make sense to me. I rent Hollywood movies all the time that are nearly 3 hours long -- and those are certainly much more detailed than my little video.
I really don't want to split this project into 3 DVDs == that would be stupid.
How can I adjust settings so that my DVD fits -- and all of my Chapters appear in the DVD Preview prior to burning? I would like wide screen setting.

In Menu Templater, you can have a main menu with different chapter, you can edit the background image and music for the Main Menu!
Questions:
1. Can I edit the background image and the music for the chapter page?
2. Can I edit the name of the chapter? I try to edit from the movie, double click the mark and type in new names, but when output, the name is different!

When I add chapter and Cue points to a project, say for example at the beginning of a specific clip in the middle of the project, just as soon as I delete or add another clip anywhere in the timeline before that clip, the chapter and Cue points become obsolete as they do not move with the clip that they were assigned to and now mark some unintended place within the project.
Every time this happens, I have to go in and manually move all chapter/Cue points. Is there any way to set chapter and Cue points be be relative within a clip, thus allowing them to move automatically and not need to be manually reset every time clips are added to or deleted from the project?

With VSX3 DVD production done by DMF 7 SE , are chapter markers added in the project timeline useless as we have to redo all chapters when transfered by VSX3 into DMF 7 SE ? or is there a way to have the markers trigger a chapter as before ?

I want to make a DVD with three (or more) short movie clips (Chapters?? Titles ??) which can be played individually, or from start to finish. I want a menu with a structure something like: Main Page with two buttons - Button 1 to play the whole movie (ie starting with clip 1 and then 2 and 3 until the end), and Button 2 which will take me to a new menu page where I can select individual clips, This page will have one button per clip, and if I select Clip 2 I want Clip 2 to play and then return to the menu (preferably menu page 2) without going on to play Clip3, 4 etc.
At present I am using the trial version of Video Studio to try it out before committing myself to a purchase, but I cannot access a user guide (which I understand only comes with the full version). Therefore I cannot find out how to construct such a menu system, or indeed even find out if such is possible with this product.
Does Video Studio (any version) allow a Menu structure as I have described and if so how can I do it?

Although I have been using x12 for some time I have never created a chapter menu before.
Even though I select "select a background image for all menus" when I do a 'preview' then select the video to play the background image remains displayed briefly and then the chapter menu fades in with a light blue background (not the background image I selected for all menus).
Is it possible to set the background for the 'chapter menu' and if so how? Also how can I CHANGE the displayed "chapter 1", "chapter 2" etc to something more meaningful?

I did my project (.vsp) and marked a dozen chapter points. I then selected Share tab , Create Disc, Bluray (1920x 1440), added 2 other projects (.vsp), created my main menu (BD authoring), then burned into BMDV folders (to correct before burning to disc) . I then created an image file (with ImgBurn) to keep for future copies. When I play my image file (PowerDVD9), I have my main menu, start the movie, plays fine, but no "next chapter" to jump to (always come back to the beginning of the movie. Are chapter points recognized and activated in Bluray ?

I have setup and renamed the chapters in the timeline using the Chapter Point Manager. I enter the Share section to author the DVD. Create Menu is check marked. I enter the Add/Edit Chapter to Automaticall add chapter info. I click OK and click next to choose a menu template and discover my renamed chapter info is gone and set to the default Chapter 1, chapter 2.........
I go back to the project to check on the chapters points I renamed and discover all the renamed chapters are gone. Is this a bug?

Before I was able to transfer my niece's wedding video from a Sony miniDV handycam into Ulead and create the perfect wedding DVD. Now I can not remember exactly all the steps, but what I do remember is that just following the product's manual did not work. I can recall at each stage (Capture Phase etc) there was a set of steps, a recommended work flow. I think Steve (Sjj1805) might have pointed me to that work flow, and when followed exactly that was the key to getting the software to work properly (things like lower field first, capture in AVI format, select DV type 1 and so on)..
(BTW I will still be using ULead Video Studio version 10) ps computer with Ulead on is 1.79 Ghz Duron, 1.5 Gb of ram and I use an external usb hard drive to store the large video files on, windows XP pro OS.
But I'm currently using a later computer with Vista, an i7 2.67 Ghz processor, 6 Gb ram and some bundled software called Power Director to get old VHS tapes transferred via a composite video - USB interface cable into computer video files. At moment I'm letting that chug on with its default settings, so from my 3 hour VHS tapes its creating an mpeg file which it has automatically chopped up into 3 separate mpg subfiles (I didn't ask it to, I can probably find out the 'flavour' of the file), each is about 3.8 Gb. The Power Director software has got its own editing and mastering and burning facilities, but I wish to use Ulead's. Perhaps I'm (it is encoding ?) at too high a resolution, but the only quick advice I saw was to encode at the highest possible quality.
If possible I would like each of the old tapes to be on a single DVD, I can not remember if Ulead can take care of that, or you have to use something like DVD shrink?

Just a heads up on an old issue which still exists in the burning module of X4. Apparently nothing has been updated from X2 other than reintegrating it with the editing software. Unspecified is maddeningly vague but If you get this message during the authoring stage it may be due to a glitch in some of the menu templates. I have found that using certain menu templates if you uncheck the "motion menu" box it will crash the production at the final stage with this message occurring. If this happens you must leave the motion menu box checked (which is the template default) even though you aren't using a motion menu. It appears to have no effect on the finished product. I have found this glitch with a number of the text menu templates that I like to use. I know it took me some effort to figure this out back in X2.

In making movies I sometimes need to pause the DVD authoring process (Share, create DVD, with various clips in the timeline), and be able to pickup the procedure from the point of pause later. Not infrequently, after I've shut down the computer and restarted after a day or more. If I close the process, there's a message box displayed that says "saving project" but it doesn't say where nor give the opportunity for specifying a file name.
If the authoring process is re-started without computer or program shutdown and no intervening different work, the authoring process re-starts where it left off. But if there's a shutdown or diversion to other work, getting back the paused activity seems to be a lost cause: in the opening authoring panel there doesn't seem to be a 'get saved project' option available despite the various add video files/project files/other media buttons'
So, I set up a special test file with a unique name, made sure all the preference boxes pointed to the same working file space and did a sample run, closing the author process before getting to the burn stage. The save project file box appeared briefly. But . . . one cannot find the saved file in the locations specified by the preference boxes either in the main menu or the author panel preferences icon. And even if it was found, re-loading it seems to be a problem (see remark above)
This situation exists in VS11+ and also in VS14, so it seems to have existed for some time.
So, the questions:
1. under what name does the author panel save a partially completed work?
2. where does it save it?
3. how does one re-load a saved, partially authored work?

Is it possible to remove certain chapters from the chapter menu without completely deleting them from the timeline if I don’t want all chapter points to be displayed in the menu? Or do all chapter points have to be displayed in the menu?
And is it possible to delete objects from the menu templates, or are the templates fixed?

When creating a menu for a DVD, the first chapter defaults to 00:00:00:00, the beginning of the DVD. I don't want to have that be the first chapter. I want to either remove that chapter or change the time location.
The option to remove the chapter is grayed out and I cannot find a way to change the time say 00:00:10:00 for example. How can I change the time or delete the 00:00:00:00 chapter?

I have created several chapter markers in the video timeline and when I go to share and create a DVD or blu ray disk I see the chapter markers are reflected in the the create chapter menu which is what I would expect. I don't want to create a whole disk but I want to create a video file like mp4 that includes the chapter markers as part of the video file. I believe that the mp4 format supports chapter markers based on this page [URL]
I can't seem to create a video output file that also includes the chapter markers. Is this possible in video studio x4 or am I forced to create a DVD or blu ray disk with a menu structure in order to preserve the chapters in the resultant output?

I have a trial version of Video Studio X5 and I am trying to decide if I want to buy it. I am very interested in making DVDs from family video clips.
I guess I am a bit confused about making menus w/ chapter links. I successfully used the "Edit" tab to make a nice movie w/ transitions and chapters. The "Add/Remove Chapter Point" button seems to work just fine, w/ little green triangles on my timeline. However, when I go to make a DVD via the "Share" tab, it seems like the clips are still present on the bottom of the screen, but the program has forgotten all my chapter markings. I see that I can "Add/Edit Chapter" if I want (under "Edit media:") but I just want to use the chapter settings I created when I was on the Edit tab. I found a bunch of tutorial videos and they all seem to involve adding chapters at this point (under "Share" but not under "Edit").
Related question, I am pretty sure I should be able to do the following but not positive Can I create a simple menu that has a user-specified number of chapter links on it? I just want a simple background photo w/ still-thumbnails as links to my chapters.

I'm using VideoStudio proX5. Previous versions of the VS program have allowed me to opt out of using a preset image template for the menu pages and instead to choose a background image of my own to put behind page headings and video thumbnails or text titles. I can't see how to do this in VSproX5. Any background image I introduce is always partly covered by unwanted areas of template and the right-click menus won't let me delete or move them to the back. I just want a plain uniform background and to be able to choose the coolur.

I am using Pro X3.
When I create a home movie and add chapter points through the edit mode, and then go to burn a DVD, the Chapter points that I created in the edit mode are not showing up in the Corel DVD Factory burning software.
I can re-add the chapter, but why would the chapters that I just added, not show up? What is the point of having the options to add chapters in the edit mode, if this information was not transferrable to the burning process?

I'm using VS X4 (I know - I'm behind the times!) and I am wanting to burn a DVD of a clip that has more than four chapters.
I the 'Menu and Preview' section I am offered a Main Menu and additional Chapter Menu which has up to four chapters on it. They are faily basic affairs. I have changed the background to have the same static picture and the same title 'Cornwall 2013'.
The Main Menu simply has a play button only along with a link called 'Scene Selection...' which takes the viewer to the Chapter Menu screen. The Chapter Menu has the four relevant chapters that can be selected along with the standard navigation buttons.
The problem is that in the Menu and Preview section it only allows me to edit the first page of the Chapter menu screen ( as I say I have more than four chapters so there are several screens).
The problem is when I go to preview, the second page of the Chater Menu instead of having 'Cornwall 2013' has the clip name displayed instead (which initially was 'Unknown' until I renamed it.
I also want to give the Chapters 'proper' names, but I don't know how to access the Chapters after number 4. I cannot seem to rename them in the add/edit chapter section either? I can only sem to change the first four chapter names as that is all I am offered.

I have used earlier versions of VS in the past with virtually no issues , last version wbeing VS11 Plus. I recently "Upgraded" to VS Pro X2 and am trying to burn my first project with it. During the share stage, trying to make a DVD I get the message "Some chapter entry frame numbers exceed the total frames" and NO I did not edit the project after adding the chapters in the share stage. Seems from google searches that this is an old issue for which Ulead issued a patch in earlier versions, but it is back! One post suggested creating a video file of the whole project then importing that without creating a new project then sharing it and adding chapters.
I tried that and found that the audio for the second half of the project got dropped. If you press Info on the DVD player it displays Dolby 3/2 on the TV screen, but the AVamp shows no Blue Dolby multichannel light and detects no audio streams available. This dropping of audio occurs at a transition between two clips in the original project. The "missing" audio is present in the mpeg file created, and you can hear it if you play the file in the "Edit" tab. It simply does not get carried over to the disc burn. I tried twice. ANyway, that is a secondary issue and I'm not too bothered about that. I would much rather get a fix for the Chapter frame numbers issue and thus avoid the video file creation process.
I have tried taking a few frames out of each clip and re-rendering the whole project again to no avail. I have also tried deselecting two pass conversion.
