I have a project I need in PAL and NTSC. My workflow is create m2p in Edius 3.5 from timeline with Procoder express, then import to DVDWS2 for authoring.
The PAL version went fine, but the NTSC is not. I could not use the Storm MPEG card to export NTSC from a PAL project so had to do it in software. The first file was truncated. I tried again and have a file the correct length (1 hr 39min) but cannot set any chapters beyond 1hr 21min. The slider just returns to that point, and adding "on the fly" is ignored.
Any ideas please?
If I have to create an avi in order for DVDWS2 to encode what is the best route please? I have a DSR11 if that is of any help...
Many thanks in anticipation :)
Here's a method that I use.
Make PAL AVI file from edited timeline (I edit in prem but the principle is the same)
Convert PAL AVI to NTSC AVI in Procoder (I use the Procoder that I have in Edius, about the only time I use Edius)
Reset Storm Edit to NTSC
Make NTSC MPEG (Elementary) from NTSC AVI using Storm Edit with hardware encoder ('cause it's quick).
Use NTSC MPEG in DVDWS2 (which has to be set to NTSC). Tick to convert WAV to template.
Select ac3 high quality template when making title set
What a bodge, eh? But it works.

I would export timeline as canopus pal dv avi to a different partition.
using procoder for edius and convert to canopus ntsc dv avi.
feed that to dvdws2
Thanks guys.
I solved the chapter problem by starting afresh with a new project on a different drive and copying the m2p file over to it. I think it probably screwed up because I had started the project using a corrupt file which I then tried to replace.
