How to create chapters in an AVI file ?

[lovecraft25]

Hello,
is there a way to create chapter points into an AVI ?

[piscator]

+ You can use the OGG containter format to do that.
+ I think one of the newest virtualdub supports muxing in OGG-
chapter files (didn't try it myself, just saw the option).
+ You can use an external chapter file for a specific player,
for example BSPlayer.

btw, this probably isn't the right forum to ask. Try AVI Containers forum and search there.

greetz,

chapters does not exist in avi files...
OGG is audio ...


If you really want to create chapters...
use OGM(as piscator wanted to council (but not OGG)) or MKV format...

Virtualdubmod should support mkv format afik.

ogm is ogg, both are just containers it is just we are used to seeing only ogg files containing vorbis audio streams.

OGM was just something that came about because of us windows users. If I recall correctly Xiph weren't too happy about it at the time.

Hell I remember when Tobias first released his filters publically people were using the avi extension for files.

Ogm pretends to be or wants to be ogg is more accurate. The page headers are a bit modified...a normal ogg parser CANNOT read ogm page headers.

Chapters in AVI is not YET possible. There is a hack by Vidomi for this, but it does not produce anything working on all players. That hacker did not even develop a filter to play those files including chapters on other players...
