My scenario is this: I'm converting VHS tapes and making each tape a project with the idea of saving each tape as a movie file. I also want to burn DVDs of these movies, which means splitting each file into 3 or 4 DVDs. So I tried copying the whole timeline range that fits on a DVD and pasted it into a new project, which works great except the chapters aren't carrying over! I can only conserve the chapters of the first range of the project, by first saving it with another name and then deleting the end. If I conserve the middle or the end, the chapters just sit there in their original position and go out of sync.
Questions:
- Are the final movie files too large anyway to be practical (around 12-14GB) and should I split the projects into DVD size before making chapters?
- Why on earth aren't the chapter markers linkable to clips?
- Is there a way of keeping the chapters in sync that I haven't thought of?
Thanks
