I produce DVDs with menus and chapters. But from the same projects when I tell Powerdirector to produce a file (to put on the internet) instead of a DVD, I do not get the chapters where the user can skip to the next chapter instead of trying to find it using fast-forward. Is there a way to put a chaptered video on youtube, vimeo, or anywhere on the net?

Hi, Ronk!

Honestly, I don't think it's possible. I may not upload to YouTube but I have viewed quite a lot of clips on subjects that interest me(railways, ghosts) and I've not yet seen any that can be bumped along, chapter by chapter. I'm afraid chapters are for discs played on home DVD or Blu-Ray players or computer disc drives(DVD or blu-Ray).

Cheers!

Neil.

Youtube does have a feature where in the description, you enter chapter name and then the time. Youtube automatically makes the times links to jump around.
I don't know about other video hosting sites.

HERE is an example

Thank you for the advice. On youtube I entered the chapter names and the times. That allows me to choose a chapter if I go out of full-screen mode so I can see the list of chapters below the video. I need a way to advance to the next chapter when in full-screen mode. The button to the right of the pause/play button advances to the next video, but I need to advance to the next chapter, not the next video. Any ideas?

Annotating videos? That's one on me! Didn't think it could be done, adding chapters, that is.

jcardana,

Great information in that link, but WOW!, he must have one of the most irritating voices I've ever heard! I'm shaking all over, just listening to three minutes of him talk...(sorry, just venting). Regards,

Hi Ronk

Did you ever find a way of annotating videos from PowerDirector to Youtube ... and doing the work in powerDirector?
