Ok i added celltimes as input format. Since celltimes has unknown fps you should use cmd like this
"ChapterGen.exe" -i chapters.txt -o tsMuxeR.txt -f tsMuxer -infps 60/1.001, without outfps. But test it to see is chapters on correct places.

Yes it's possible, it will happen in near future, just be patient.

Thanks for the tool.
FYI: I believe there is a rounding error in the math though. It looks like it is rounding down / truncating the frame number instead of using normal rounding (at least in the Sonic Scenarist CSV File output mode). I took a Blu-Ray and used eac3to to generate a chapter listing. I then ran that file through ChapterGen using the GUI set to 23.976FPS -> 24FPS and created a Sonic Scenarist CSV File. I then ran the video and audio streams through Scenarist BD (with it complaining about I-frames and showing incorrect chapter times the whole way though) and generated a BD disc. I then used eac3to again to generate a chapter listing and compared it against the one I got from the original Blu-Ray. Some of the chapters were moved 1 frame earlier. Original BD chapters: Code:
00:00:00.000 00:09:39.120 00:19:49.355 00:34:21.851 00:45:15.338 00:49:38.184 01:01:59.674 01:05:52.657 01:10:05.451 01:15:08.045 01:17:08.040 01:19:41.610 01:35:12.582 01:39:11.154 01:48:21.495 01:56:39.618 01:58:49.914 02:05:18.094 02:09:07.156 02:14:06.538 Code:

Well, that didn't go so well.
Latest version of the software. Commandline operation done in a cygwin Zshell. Sitting in the directory that contains the input text file. I have no problem spitting out the content of the input text file, which is frame numbers. The program complains that it can't open the input file. I had even tried dragging the input file to the GUI and it was ignored. It would be nice if the error would say why it can't open the input file. |

@Stereodude, yes i know for this problem, and it's random problem, because i had some titles which fine if i use rounddown and other with round, it's wierd but i think to add switch that user can choose. I can't find real formula maybe there is some other factor.. It's only problem for scenarist/cinevision and frame cents based formats.
@MrVideo, yes i mean 59.94, i think i fixed that typo in last revision, btw can you send me that file, i would to check what problem is? Btw i am so lazy to writte proper error handler

It has been so long since I posted that error report that I have no clue as to which file I was trying to use. When I get a chance, I'll try again. |

I didn't see a general topic for chapters and, if don't mind, have a question about creating chapters (not necessarily using this tool): Is there software where video playback is used within the program to make adding time codes easier. E.g. you pause the video, press a key shortcut, and the time for a chapter is added. Subtitle editors work in such a way.

I accept COPY (Ctrl+C)/PASTE (Ctrl+V) as 'key shortcut' and use an accompanying "Videoname_chp.txt" tect file: 1. Use a video editor program to replay the video. 2. If supported by the video editor, set a suitable chapter timecode display format. 3. Navigate to a location of each chapter candidate. 4. If supported by the video editor, copy the displayed chapter time code and paste it into a simple textfile "Videoname_chp.txt". 5. Add an annotation. You may call it chapter name. 6. If your authorung program supports it, use the chapter textfile as input for chapter menu generation. Unfortunately not many video editor programs support steps 2 and 4 properly. Not many video editors support to select the chapter timecode display format (step2). Not many video editors support the COPY (Ctrl+C) from the timecode display window (step 4). This means that the displayed values must be typed manually into the text file. (Beware of typos!) I tested the following video editors: * Good old Mpeg2schnitt provides a perfect solution for PAL mpeg2 footage for steps 1 to 5. It supports several tc formats. I often use it to convert from one tc format to another tc format. Furthermore it supports COPY/PASTE of the tc format from/to its Marker list. Double click on any tc entry in the Marker list jumps to the corresponding time position in the video. Furthermore, the Marker list practically works like a windiows tect file and thus offers to except any kind of annotation and/or chapter text. * Adobe Premiere Elements has a hh:mm:ss:ff (example: 00:26:13:06 ) tc display window and allows to copy . Furthermore it allows to enter a new tc value into the tc display manually or by PASTE and by doing this jump to the entered tc. It is not possible to select any other TC format. * MAGIX Video delux MX has also a hh:mm:ss:ff (example: 04:26:13:06 ) tc display window but does not support COPY/PASTE its content. It is not possible to select any other TC format. * Cyberlink Power Director 10 has a Chapter feature which allows to add a chapter name and displays a hh:mm:ss:ff (example: 00:26:13:06 ) tc display window in the Chapters Room. COPY/PASTE is not supported, though. * VideoRedo TV Suite HD (VDR) has also a hh:mm:ss:ff (example: 04:26:13:06 ) tc display window but does not support COPY/PASTE of its content. VDR comes with tc format hh:mm:ss:ff but allows to change it to hh:mm:ss.ff format. Furthermore it has a view option Show Frame Number which displays the frame number. The tc display field is display only! But double clicking on it displays an Enter TimeCode sub-window with sub-fields Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Frame#. Unlike in Premiere Elements it is not possible to COPY or PASTE the complete tc-value (example: 04:26:13:06 ) from or into these sub-fields. Thus COPY/PASTE is very limited, practically useless. But in Show Frame Number mode, the Frame number field inthe Enter Frame Number sub-window does support COPY/PASTE! Thus VDR is suited for step 4 in Frame Number mode. Depending on your authoring program a tc conversion program like ChapterGen is needed to convert the tc format. Conclusion: Mpeg2schnitt is my first choice for mpeg2 PAL footage. VideoRedo in Frame Number mode is my first and PRE10 in its hh:mm:ss:ff mode is my second choice for h.264 HD footage. "Videoname_chp.txt" file is my hub for all chapter related activites. iI use it parallel to the video editor programs. Best of all, the "Videoname_chp.txt" file is supported by the great, free AVCHD authoring program multiAVCHD. multiAVCHD uses the hh:mm:ss.mss (mss ... 3 digit millisecond fraction) tc format. So, for h.264 HD footage a tc conversion program like ChapterGen is mandatory to convert the tc format. Sounds complicated, but isn't. Any easier procedure from h.264 TS (m2ts) to AVCHD with annotated chapter menus? |

To output a "chapter" text file manually, just go to the locations you want to marked as chapters. The press the "a" key to place a marker in the display. Set all of your markers, then in the File dropdown menu, do a save Chapter file. Bingo, you have a text file with the chapters that you marked. No copy-n-paste required. |
