Matroska's chapters trial

[jemmel]

Setup:
Film with 5 scenes: A,B,C,D,E
extra versions of some scenes: B*, E*

Task:
get all scenes into one mkv
and make two playable tracks for different versions of the film:
ABCDE and ABC*DE*

and only put each scene once into the mkv

as an option, to make it even more difficult: :p
the scenes come uncut, joined in two files: ABCDE and B*E*

of course, they could be cut. but why not use the highly acclaimed chaptering capabilities of the matroska format?

[check]

both ideas certainly possible, what you are looking for is ordered chapters.

thanks

ah - those ordered editions - super nice -

the thing is: i can't choose between my two ordered editions neither with mpclassic nor vlc.
even though none of the editions is default, i can only access the first, strange.

guess i got to install this matroska splitter, and try if it works with that

[check]

use Haali's splitter, which handles them.

yup, you said
