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

That might be one way to do it but it seems to shoot bugs with a elephant gun.

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

I never got along with Premiere.

 BG> Good Luck and I hope all works out for you.

I have just purchased Pinnacle upgrade to Studio 8 but it haven't arrived yet.
In the comercial they say it's the easyest way to edit and then burn to DVD
so I will try this and when I have done I can get back to you.
