Chapter Markers help (I know...)
Ok, I've been hunting down chapter marker questions for an hour and absolutely cannot find an answer. So I hope someone can help me.
I *did* find this fantastic thread here (apple discussions) that had some good advice, but it too seems to miss the one thing I need.
That thread recommends that movies be edited on iMovie 6 (HD) and no later, for best video results. Fine. I have both iMovie 6 and iMovie 7 ('08).
Everyone says to NOT use Share -> iDVD. If I do, the picture quality will drop to zero. Ok fine. However, if I do share -> iDVD, my chapter markers are beautiful and kept.
I've read a lot of "share to media manager" or something, and I can't find that. Maybe that's in the newer iMovies? But I'm not supposed to use a newer one, since half a field is thrown out.
If I share -> Quicktime, the chapter markers are supposed to be kept. But on my word of honor, THEY ARE NOT. I open the export in quicktime, and I don't even know how to look for markers. I import the exported video into iDVD, and no chapters appear... am I supposed to tell iDVD to look for them, somehow?
Oh, btw, I'm using iDVD '08 (v.7).
Hopefully someone has an answer. If I can't do chapter markers, then fine, that'll be the only way I'll do this. But I'd love to have a super high quality video, *with* chapter markers, which just doesn't seem possible here.
