Hello.

I've a blu-ray i've ripped on my hdd.
How can i get the chapters position of the movie ?
One way i see this is to play the blu-ray and check chapters one by one, but it's not very easy.
I've tested with eac3to, but it seems chapters are not in the m2ts file.
So, how can i get the chapters informations ?
Is there something similar on blu-ray than IfoEdit for DVD ?

:thanks:

On blu-ray chapters are stored in mpls files. You can use ChapterGen http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=150148 to extract it, in various formats.

Euh... I've seen something which may interest me...
What are CSV files, and how do you use them ?
Each time i have to re-encode video, and so "destroy" the video stream in Scenarist, i'm obliged to re-enter the chapters by end, wich take a lot of time.
But, i've never been able to find in Scenarist (either v5 for blu-ray or v2/v3 for DVD) a quick easy way like 'import chapter file for this stream'.
BTW, very interesting and usefull tool !
