      What does this error code mean? I have downloaded the MPEG file you suggest on this site and I don't have an MPEG2 (I do have an MPEG 4, which I have unchecked in the compatability settings part) compressor that's listed in "compatability" under "settings."

      "You have added a MPEG-2 file with chapters. Digital Media Converter will display the duration of only the first chapter. During conversion all the chapters will be combined and converted into a single file."

        The message you get is not an error. Your MPEG-2 file with chapters will get converted to the desired format but all chapters will be combined, resulting in a single output file. To convert each chapter separately, you have to extract them by going to the Tools menu and selecting the Extract VOB Chapters option. Refer to the link:

          I have this same issue BUT the total chapters are not combined and coverted to one file. DMC is only seeing the first chapter and then only converting the first chapter. I can Extract teh chapters and it will convert them individually but it is literally splitting scenes and there is no facility to join the resulting files back together.

          I have examined the help files and the FAQs and the forum. If I can't solve this issue then DMC will not work for me and I'll need a refund.

          Pls give me your advice.
          Thanks
