I have always done straight burns without chapters but now I've got a
request to add chapters. I thought it would be no problem with Workshop but
I am having a lot of trouble..

I add my mpg file, still images, etc... then make my first chapter...
it starts at the beginning of the mpg (I mark it) then I move the jog bar
to the end point to where I want it, and mark it. So... I can set the in
and out points of the first chapter... then I click the "insert chapter"
button and a new thumbnail comes up... cool... but when I try to enter an
"in point" for the second chapter, (illustrated by the thumbnail).. the
second chapter thumbnail disapears and the new in point overwrites the
original (as shown by the thumbnail of the first chapter.. it's really
weird).

It seems that if I want to start the second chapter right from where the
first one ended, that it will work... but I was hoping for a little more
flexibility.

Either this software is terrible or I'm doing something wrong..

Please anyone.. if you can shed some light I would be extremely grateful..
Also, if anyone can suggest another prog, that's cool too. I need to be
able to set a custom background for the menu and eventually have animated
buttons for the chapters... For this particular project, it's a wedding and
all I want is a still for the menu BG, and text buttons to link to the
chapters... and I thought it would be easy :-)

Thanks in advance,
Sailor
