->  BF> What I don't like is, when I have edited the film in Studio 7 and it

Hi I don't normally use MyDVD but did a couple projects with it last night
just to gain a little more experience.  First off I was wrong about the
menu thing.  What I had to do to add chapter points was to print my video
back to tape in the camcorder after editing it with Premier.  Then
recapture the video using MyDVD and setting chapter points in each video as
it was captured, not after.  

Sorry for any misinformation.  Normally I capture DV from the camera using
a program called SCLive, then edit the video using Adobe Premier and the
Pinnacle DV500 software.  After it's edited I use the same setup to create
the mpegII files and send them to Impression where the menus and chapter
points are added for burning to DVD.  I prefer this method as I can use
Adobe Photoshop to create some snazzy looking menus, and the chapter points
are created with their own pictures on the Photoshop layers..  It makes a
snazzy nice looking menu, but, MyDVD is much easier to use for a quickie,
and I haven't really stressed it to see just how far you can take it.

Good Luck and I hope all works out for you.
