Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'd like to save time by importing a video clip into DVD Studio Pro and have DVD Studio Pro already recognize the chapter markers so i don't have to manually program/link them in DVD Studio Pro.

So far i've tried:
Creating chapter markers in Final Cut and when I use Compressor then import into DVD studio Pro i can't see any of them.

I also tried exporting from Final Cut to Quicktime (selecting chapter markers ON) and then imported the Quicktime video into DVD Studio Pro and i still don't see any chapter markers.

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong or even suggest the best method to get my Final Cut Pro sequence into DVD Studio Pro while retaining the highest quality. I really like the stuff Compressor does.

thank you for reading my post,

Make sure you edit the markers so they are in fact chapter markers <chapter> shoudl be displayed in dialog box.
Take a look in DVD studio at the track timeline. They should show up there when you import the 'track' compressor file in. You'll need to set up menus to use the chapter markers

Scott you stated exactly what I was doing which in turn helped me out. I've been doing exactly what you said as well as per the manual however apparently you cannot create chapters if a video track is selected in the timeline. After i deselected the video track and hit the M+M quick key to create a marker then hit "Add Chapter Marker" i saw a marker created at the top of my timeline instead of in the video track in my timeline. I wonder why they allow creation of chapter markers in the video track?...

Scott thanks for your help, much appreciated. This will save me quite a bit of time in the future.

There are a number of different types of markers. You can put in markers for sound cues and other things. If you go to markers -> edit menu you can see some of the choices there.
