chapterEditor Alpha 3 is available. An update for the DVD2mkv editor.
Windows
Linux

The Single and Batch mode is finished and can be tested.
Besides the normal titles, the menus can also be converted to an mkv. For this, however, PgcDemux must be used because the Mod version does not work.
Both PgcDemux versions can exist in the same folder.

Title and menus can be reserved for the batch process.

Hi sumirecccp

You are now the second member which asked me for such a feature, and I will add it to my TODO list.

hubblec4 · 25th June 2017, 17:33

chapterEditor Alpha 4 is available. An update for the DVD2mkv editor.
Windows
Linux

Multi-Edition-MKV mode is ready.
In this mode it is possible to save from a DVD, which contains different editions of a movie, into a single mkv.
The editions are named by tags, and are then selectable in the player.

Unfortunately, this procedure is much more complicated than with Bluray, where the m2ts files always contain all the tracks.
So unfortunately it happens that the VobIDs not all audio and subtitle tracks are present.
For the subtitles you can simply insert a "dummy" file. However, with the audios does not work that easy.
Therefore in the Multi-Edition MKV only audio tracks can be used which are present in all VobIDs / Titles.

In the normal case, all audio tracks should also be found. My test DVDs (Alien 1-4) have audio tracks from the director which is only available in one edition.

In the cE folder is now a data folder Data. There is the subtitle dummy file (dummy.idx / dummy.sub).
You can exchange this file, but the file name can not be changed.
Is currently still hard-coded (will be adjustable later with file dialog).

The titles/editions can be moved before demuxing, and the edition name should be set also before(or later in the tags file).

In the test DVD Salt, MTX 12 unfortunately had problems, which Mosu in MTX 13 has fixed. As of now, MTX 13 is required for the chapterEditor.

There is still a problem with the "ordered chapters". The times agreed for the appended VobIDs do not always match. When muxing(append) the VobIDs with mkvmerge apparently the playing periods are not exactly met. The times have always shifted a bit backwards. 100 to 200ms which then makes up to 4 seconds for 20 attached VobIDs.
In the chapter creating process are all chapter names expand with the VobID number. With a small manual adjustment then ran all Multi MKVs neat.

For another test DVD (Christi) which has multi-angle, everything went right immediately, since there is only one different VobID there.

The Vob2Vob demux function (not for the menus) is now implemented and should always be used. MTX can read the time stamps from VOB files and thus all audio tracks remain synchronous to the video.
A test with track demux brought horrible audio unsynchronities.

Hi all

In the next update I plan support to add sub-pictures which are supported by MKVToolNix. Bluray(sup), VobSub(idx) and Subtitle Ripper(srt) files are present. Can someone tell me where I can find all the other supported files?

Substation Alpha(ass)
Advanced Substation Alpha(ssa)
Universal Subtitle Format(usf)
OggKate(ogx/ogg)

sneaker_ger · 30th June 2017, 08:32

No one uses usf. Don't bother. I don't really know about OggKate but I assume it is similar. I doubt anyone will ever ask you about those two. For SSA and ASS you can create/convert with Subtitle Edit or Aegisub.

Hi

Does CE has an option to resync chapter files (keeping Chap01 at 0 and shifting the rest either forward or back time wise) ? I found time adjustment option but it's only for positive values (not sure if it's ms, sec, minutes).

also, the download links on the first post don't seem to work at the moment.

thanks

All time-formats which cE knows can entered in the edit field and a "-" before the shift-time is for negative shifting.
With the option "Action range" you can specify a start chapter.

Time formats:
- HH:MM:SS (00:00:00)
- HH:MM:SS.ms/ns (00:00:00.123456789)
- Seconds (120)
- Minutes (7m)
- as float value (1.2345 or 1,6789)

Yes the german doom9 is updating.
You can download cE from Softpedia.

thanks for your quick reply hubblec4.

I did try that before posting with negative value but it doesn't do anything. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong:

Action Range: All Chapters
FPS/Multi times: default
Move times: -00:00:01.123

Nothing changes on the times on the chapter list on the left side when I use "-". It only changes if I don't use "-" and forward of course.

You are right, it is a bug.
I hope a have tomorrow a bit time, then I will upload a new version.

Thanks hubblec4!

I can confirm negative values now work, however only if they are over 1 second long:

Code:

-00:00:00.789 / 00:00:00.789 will not shift,
-00:00:01.000 / 00:00:01.000 will shift.

Unless I'm using the wrong time format?

The program rounds the original times - is it meant to be like that?:

Code:

00:10:36.261
becomes:
00:10:36.0.000

hubblec4 · 6th July 2017, 01:51

Hi mini-moose

Thanks for yor tests. I will look into this.

Unless I'm using the wrong time format?

Can you test it with the "Milli-Sec" format(-0.789 or -0,789)?

Looks like the time stamp format is incorrect.

EDIT:
In my test is all fine. Which cE version are you using? Can you explain a bit more detailed in what you do?

I'm using cE-W(1.00Alpha5).7z

I load the existing chapters file (from bluray or DVD) in the OGG/OGM tab, Go to "Time Adjustments", Add the value in "Move times", add -00:00:00.789 there and hit "Adjust times".

on the original chapters files the times are presented in this format (1st bluray, 2nd dvd):

Code:

CHAPTER02=00:10:36.261
CHAPTER02NAME=
and
CHAPTER02=00:09:25.240
CHAPTER02NAME=Chapter 2

on your tool's view:

Code:

00:10:36.0.000
and
00:09:25.0.000

The MS are not presented, and if I Save As to a new .txt the MS are gone too.

They are not shifting when I use a value under 1second in "Move Times", and MS is ignored if I use 00:00:01.789 (increases or decreases by 1sec steps only).

Using the "Multipy times by the following factor" does move MS too but I find it too confusing for what I need (which is to add a certain velue and let the tool do the shift it).

hubblec4 · 6th July 2017, 12:39

Mmhh, all my test are fine. I have made a new OGG.txt chapter file, load to OGG/OGM editor enter your time shift code and press "Adjust times".
A OGG/OGM from scratch work fine too.
I guess the chapter files came from eac3to?

Could you send me your chapter files? (do not upload in this forum please)

"Multipy times by the following factor" can't be used for time shift, it is an equivalent to FPS change(in one step).

Mosu · 6th July 2017, 13:21

hubblec4, are you perhaps using a number parsing function that pays attention to the user's locale regarding the decimal point? If so, maybe mini-moose's locale uses a comma as the decimal point.

My TimeCode Parser is able to handle both decimal points(comma or point).

The chapter files have decimal points.

I see in the screen shot that the file path seems incorrect.

What is the full file path?
