Chapters are not saved

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How to reproduce:
1. Add few chapters to the video.
2. Close the chapters tool. The Video Options dialog says "Video has 1 chapter"
3. Open the chapters tool again. There is the first chapter only.

However the autochapters option works well.

I use KMediaFactory 0.7.1 on Debian Lenny.

The video file format is vob.

I cannot reproduce this (or rev 432 fixed this...)

The problem still exists on rev 433. What info do you need to reproduce?

- Added video
- Added chapters -> OK -> Video has 4 chapters
- OK -> Save -> Exit
- Open project again -> Properties -> Video has 4 chapters
Could you try a new project and different video file to test this.

I made a test on different video (mpeg4 avi instead of mpeg2 vob). Same result. 
Below
are detailed steps.

- Started the application
- Added a video file
- Opened the chapters winfow. There are 6 chapters with 15 minutes interval.
- Deleted all chapters using the "Delete all" feature.
- Added chapter 1. Clicked the OK button and opened the window again. There is 
1 chapter.
- Added chapter 2. Clicked the OK button and opened the window again. There are 
2
chapters.
- Scrolled forward the video.
- Added chapter 3. Clicked the OK button and opened the window again. There are 
2
chapters.

So, the chapters are saved when they point to the begin of the video only.

I did the same thing (with avi file even if they are not supported) and I got 
all 3
chapters. Could you try it with supported mpeg2 ps file?

I've converted small clip to mpeg2 ps using avidemux. The problem still 
happens, but
not always. It depends on the current position somehow.

Example file is attached. Move position to 1 second (00:00:01.004 in my case) 
and try
to add chapter. Then move to 2 seconds and try again.

I think I have to raise my hands up in this one. I just cannot reproduce this. 
One
option could be to import your chapters from file like this:
CHAPTER01NAME=Test 1
CHAPTER01=00:00:05.500
CHAPTER02NAME=Test 2
CHAPTER02=00:00:10.000
CHAPTER03NAME=Test 3
CHAPTER03=00:00:15.000
CHAPTER04NAME=Test 4
CHAPTER04=00:00:20.000

But that means you have to write them to a text file...
