The txt format usually MKV supports, such as: Code:
CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000 CHAPTER01NAME= CHAPTER02=00:09:12.176 CHAPTER02NAME=

The format you are referring to is the OGM (OGG) format.
It is true that neither chapterEditor (nor ChapterGen) can directly convert an XML chapter file into the OGM format, but there is an easy workaround. I assume that you have MKVToolNix installed - if not, do it right away... If you want to mux XML chapters into an existing MKV, MKVToolNix can do this directly. It imports chapter files either in the XML format or in the OGM format, so I do not see your need to convert XML to OGM in the first place. If you still insist that you need to convert XML chapters into the OGM format, this is also easy using MKVToolNix. Just add the XML chapter file and remux to MKV (without any video or audio). Then fire up gMKVExtractGUI by gpower, load this MKV you just created and extract the chapters in the OGM format. Cheers manolito Last edited by manolito; 22nd April 2018 at 10:54. |

Load your XML.file and save it as OGG/OGM. Quote:
OK, not in the Converter but you have an own OGG/OGM editor. You can load all supported chapter formats (more then 25) to OGG/OGM editor and save it to an OGG.txt file. Last edited by hubblec4; 22nd April 2018 at 11:46. |

But I believe that this conversion feature should be accessible in the Converter. With the latest versions of chapterEditor the feature list has become overwhelming, for me the only feature I need and use frequently is the converter. I did stay with older versions of chapterEditor for quite some time, mainly because it was simpler and the GUI was a lot more tasteful (I hate those In-Your-Face colors in the current versions). But with the current versions of MKVToolNix I had no choice, I had to upgrade because the older chapterEditor versions stopped working. Cheers manolito |

Editing XML is really a PITA. That’s why.

I add it to my TODO list. You can disable some "In-Your-Face colors". |

Yes and you are not alone. Many users needs a simple chapter format.
This is all a question of usage. Someone like it to convert the video and is happy to save disk-space, other have bought hardware which can't play Matroska files(or basic support only) and so on. I use Matroska now more then 10 years and I would never miss all this chapter features. Last edited by hubblec4; 22nd April 2018 at 16:24. |

Ordered chapters is one of the great chapter features. Matroska Chapter-Linking opens a new watching world. |

A new watching world? Sorry I don't get it...
Chapters are chapters are chapters. Chapters have no artistic value, they are just a means of being able to jump from one point in time to another one. This sure does not open a new watching world for me... Cheers manolito |

I was always waiting for MKV extensions with working menus, and in this context ordered chapters would certainly play a role. But as it looks now, nobody cares for MKV menus, and this also means that ordered MKV chapters are irrelevant. Cheers manolito |

I need this and some other users(not many I know).

After many years reading and learning I understand Matroska, and to get working menus it is not really a job of Matroska. The Splitter is the key. The most Matroska features which are supported you will find in the good old Haali Splitter. Best working Splitter today is LAV-Filters BUT I spoke with Steve Lohmme in Vienna and he would fix/improve VLC Matroska Splitter. For a while he could fix the Matroska Medium-Linking issue. I have at the moment not much time but I will help him to fix the Matroska DVD menu system (which was working in an earlier VLC version) I learned programming to get a better understanding about Matroska and now I have a fully Matroska menu ready in my mind. But without understanding how works a DirectShow Filter I see no chance for Matroska menu. |

Chapters - XML to TXT
Reading a MKV with a PC player gives lot of freedom and features. The opposite on Android TV or HW based Media Players.
That’s the reason I keep chapters as simple as possible.
