Hi Daniweb team,

I recorded a video in Sony videocam and play it in my computer. It has four chapters. I wanted to upload the 4th chapter only in the youtube, but when I edit it in the Windows Media Maker, it only sees the first part (which is weird) though in the DVD it has four.

I converted it in .AVI but same result. It only play the first part.

Why is that it only play the first part? I tried other software that can stream the chapters but only works if you will pay for it. (I think Mpeg2streaming?).

Please help!!

Can you play all 4 chapters in your Videocam? Also if you have recorded it on DVD but haven't finalize it yet, did you try it on tv dvd player instead?

And also, how many files it created?

Hello thank you for your reply, my answer is in red.

Can you play all 4 chapters in your Videocam? Yes, all of the 4 chapters are playing in my videocam. I can select the first or jump to the 3rd. I play it all I want. Also if you have recorded it on DVD but haven't finalize it yet, What did you mean? Sorry, but the file is already created in .Vob.did you try it on tv dvd player instead?Yes! It play the four chapters, it play all files.

And also, how many files it created? Ok. In my DVD player, it detects 2 .vob files (1st has two chapters) (2nd has four chapters). in my computer there's 2 .IFO 2 .VOB and 2 .BUP files.


Hope these helps!

So it's a full DVD format. No wonder you can't edit the other chapters even when you convert its vob file to avi. If you try to play it on your computer using any DVD player (with DVD), it can play normally... If you extract it and play the .vob files alone, it won't work properly...

Actually you have to rip the DVD with a software tools like Nero in order to correctly obtaining files that can be edited later on.

You can try this. It's trial but you can use full function of it while period still last.
