Markers Not Showing in Mpeg2

[hanguolaohu]

Hi,

This is a DVD Studio Pro Question that is directly related to FCP and Compressor. Basically I want to have chapter markers on my DVD. My problem is my FCP chapter markers are not showing up in the Mpeg2 file that I insert into DVDSP. Somewhere along the chain, I must be doing something wrong.

1. Within FCP, I made sure that all my markers were "chapter" markers.
2. I then exported a Quicktime movie with "DVD Studio Pro markers"
3. I imported that Quicktime movie into compressor and noticed that there are many blue markers. I then export an Mpeg 2 and AC3 file
4. I import the Mpeg 2 file in DVDSP. I do not see any markers on the timeline

I'm guessing that I messed up somewhere between #3 and 4. I've looked at all kinds of online documents and tutorials including this:

I'm at a loss of what to do, and I'm on a deadline... help!

I'm on:
FCP 6.0.4
Compressor 3.0.3
DVDSP 4.2.1

Sounds like you are doing it right. Double check your compressor and DVDSP preferences.

All I can say is that you have an extra step. No need to export it as a QT movie, and then take that to compressor. Just select the "Export using Compressor" option. Try that.
