Is it posible to use AVI2DVD to convert an avi file into DVD with different chapters's lengths?(like the first chapter is 5 min, the second one is 7 minutes,...)

yes try the option chapterlist on the step 2
just write an chapterlist like :
0,400,589,976,1300 etc
all the values must be seconds ! !

that means: if you put 300 for the second chapter, it'll will play for 5 min?
one more question: the first number in Chapter list always needs to be 0, right?

lets say that you have 3 episodes ok ?
first episode is 15 minutes
second episode is 22 minutes
third episode is 30 minutes

so your chapterlist will be :

0,900,2220,3960

Explanation :
0 starts the 1st episode
15*60=900 starts the second episode !
(15+22)*60=2220 starts the third episode !
(15+22+30-1)*60=3960 starts the last one minute from the third episode [finish the dvd]

you always need to subtract 1 before multiplying it by 60 for the last number ?
(15+22+30-1)*60=3960 starts the last one minute from the third episode [finish the dvd]

bo ti is just an example ... if you want to see the end of the movie [last minute ...]
If you do not want it write : 0,900,2220

if i want to split the video into 3 chapter like 15min 40sec, 32min 10 sec,...instead of 15 min and 30 min
is it possible?

yes just use an calculator;)
first chapter -> 0 sec
second chapter 15*60+40 = 940 sec
third chapter 32*60+10=1930 sec

since it is one film only you just have to do this otherwise if you have more films you have to add the total legnth of the previuses film

if i want to split my video like this:
17 min 56: 17*60 +56= 1076
35 min 42: 35*60 + 42 +1076=3218
46 min 17: 46*60 +17 + 3218= 5995
1 h 3 min 15: 63*60 + 15 + 5995=9790
1h 15 min 19: 75*60 + 19 + 9790=14039
1h 28 min 11: 88*60 + 29 + 14039=19348
1h 40 min 26: 100*60 + 26 + 19348=25374
1 h 51 min 2: 111*60 + 2 + 25374=32036
my chapter list should be like this: 0,1076,3218,5995,9790,14309,19348,25350,32036
right? and is that 8 chapter in total?
if i calculate wrong, would it affect my result? i mean, before, i calculated it wrong, i ended up cannot open my DVD in my dvdplayer and when i open disk D(in my computer), it only has 8 mins while my original file is 2 hours. I watched my avi file (the one before converting), it played just fine.
Plz help me.
