Using Chapter Files with Muxman

[Beak]

Hello. I use dvd2svcd to backup certain titles with DTS sound, then use Muxman to multiplex.

On one occasion I was able to make a small modification to either the chapter list made by dvd2svcd,or the maestro chapter file,then it loaded perfectly into muxman with working chapters.

The problem is that I have been unable to repeat this trick.

Can anyone tell me how to convert either of the chapter files available to a form that muxman will accept?

Even a generic list that splits at 5 minute intervals would be fine.

Thanks in advance for any help....

One easy way is to get the celltimes.txt from the DVD with IFOEdit.
- start IFOEdit
- Open the IFO
- Select the PGC with the main movie in the upper part of IFOEDIT (It is under VTS_PGCITI
- From the menu: Tools-->save Celltimes to file

Celltimes.txt is a file with framenumbers (used as timestamps), one per row, with the frame number of each cell
But one chapter can me made of more than one cell....

A generic list each 5 minutes in PAL (25 fps) looks like

1500
3000
4500
6000
...


Beware: Muxman does not like a framenumber our of the video lenght. Tipically, you may have to delete the last one
