Ulead Video Studio 8 DVD Chapters

**robbie** · 01-12-2005, 04:50 AM

When I create DVD chapters in Ulead Studio 8, firstly I am unable to use the number pad on Uleads preview player and when I play the video in my player clicking on the number 1 gets no response and clicking on 2 gets 1 to play, and 5 gets 4 to play etc...
Does anyone else have this problem? Has anyone got a solution?

Well I have never noticed that before.

Looks like a bug to me. Certainly on the DVD I tested I had a 'First Play' video, and I suspect that Video Studio has got its numbering mixed up due to this. I will try later without a First Play clip and see if the problem disappears, or perhaps you can tell me if the problem occurred without a First Play clip.

Either way I will amuse myself with ULead support for a while (been ages since I have had a bit of fun).

Thanks for your reply. I was pretty sure it was a bug. I did not have "First clip as first play" selected. I have asked Ulead for assistance and am waiting for their response.

Definitely a bug then. Let us know how you get on with Ulead Support.

Finally, a reply from Ulead. Number pads on Ulead player only apply when creating a VCD. OK , silly me.
The other problem does not seem to be a bug according to Ulead. They have recommended that I do a complete uninstall including removing all the Ulead files in the Applications folder and then reinstalling, installing the latest patch, defrag the hard drive,etc...
In other words "the usual"!!!, which I seem to do on a regular basis now with Ulead VS 8 whenever I have any glitches. I have my doubts as to whether anything different will happen as I already tried this and a friend of mine is having the same problem and I know he has also installled the latest patch.
Anyway, just in case I did something wrong I will go through the whole procedure again and then try to burn a DVD. It may be a couple of days, but I will post my results.

That's just crazy.

Don't hold your breath Robbie. I too have the latest patches installed and pressing the number on the old DVD keypad takes you to the wrong scene. Simple as at. Don't waste your time I'd say and see if the fix turns up in a later software release or patch.

Keep us posted though.
