Hi!
I recorded big concert from TV, compressed it to avi, sound - original. How can I play songs from this file?
I mean I want to have some sort of CUE for AVI (some sort of CUE for WAVE in audio), so playback will start exactly with the song I choose.
I don't know how to make it, so I decided to ask here about it. May be for each song I should create separate CUE-like file (or shortcuts) with time in min:sec.

I want to keep concert in one big file and not to cut it into clips. And I use Media player Classic or The KMPlayer for watching. May be some other player has needed features.

:thanks:

AFAIK AVI doesn't accept chapters. Try MKV instead.

I know that chapter information in MKV is stored inside container. And if I'm not mistaken I can not see songs names, list of songs, just jump on chapters like on DVD.

There's a feature on youtube, where a link can lead to clip:minute:second with exact positioning.
Can some player accept information in such format? File "media.avi(or mkv or mp4)",start from 10min, 10sec (for example)

mpc-hc.exe "video.avi" /startpos hh:mm:ss
or
mpc-hc.exe "video.avi" /start ms
(see mpc-hc -> help -> Command Line Switches)

This is wrong - matroska chapters are fully capable of having titles. I see them all the time.

I'm seconding this suggestion by the way, using chapters to navigate would be the best solution.
