First - I know, this is an older program...just really haven't had the need to pay for a newer version for what I use it for.

I'm importing a DVD (home created, notstore bought) and it only seems to import by chapter...not by the whole DVD as one file. When I try to stich the chapters in my editing software, a few seconds of the DVD are missing between each chapter.

Question I am trying to find is that of there is a way around this...or does anyone know if the newer version of the software gets around this issue. I need to know before I purchase it.

Do you know what program was used to make the DVD? In some programs, chapters are different than in the Roxio program.

When you 'stitch' are you using transitions? Sometimes you'll lose portions when you've used a transition.

The DVD was created on a DVD burner/recorder, not in a PC software. The chapters are just a mark that is created every five minutes on the disk. When I build the different files together...they are straight cuts, no transisitions. The problem is that when Roxio is creating the "chapter" files it is losing some of the data. If the file could just be imported as a "full" file, instead of by chapters this would be fine...so do you know if V10 has this ability, or will it still save the files as individual chapters???

I don't understand what you mean by "chapter" files and Roxio does not capture by chapters.
In fact I don't understand what you are doing - please explain a bit more with references to the programs you are using from EMC 8. EMC 10 works basically the same as EMC 8 (except it seems to be more reliable)
Anyway, if you video is on a DVD there is no need to capture from the DVD since you simply copy the Video_TS folder from the DVD to your hard drive and then add the vob files to your project in Videowave.

If it has "chapters" every 5 minutes, it sounds like it might be from something like a drug-store or other place that can take a source like a Video and convert it. So the question comes up, just where did this come from?

I think I understand the problem because I'm having the same one. The DVD comes up to capture and shows chapters. If you try and capture the chapters you miss some of the start and the end. I have one DVD that will only show the chapter I don't want and will not get me to the chapter I need.

Did you (or the original poster) read post 4 - the last sentence ?

BTW, is the DVD you are trying to capture the same one that the OP discussed? If not, the correct procedure in these boards is to start your own thread.
