Load/Save Chapter List in CCE 2.70

[SimonSez07]

with the release of cce 2.70, you can load and save chapter lists from within cce without having to manually edit ecl files.

unfortunately i cannot decypher the format of the txt file it saves chapters lists to.

if i load an ecl file containing these chapter points:

[file]
name=C:\movie\movie.avs
stream_no=0
encode_first=0
encode_last=234148
chapter=2196:Chapter 1
chapter=2244:Chapter 2
chapter=2920:Chapter 3
chapter=9701:Chapter 4
chapter=13480:Chapter 5
chapter=20920:Chapter 6
chapter=27976:Chapter 7
chapter=30584:Chapter 8
chapter=35272:Chapter 9

and then i save a cce chapter list file, i get a txt file that looks like this:

%TCTYPE 0
01:01:31:12 Chapter 1
01:01:33:12 Chapter 2
01:02:01:16 Chapter 3
01:06:44:05 Chapter 4
01:09:21:16 Chapter 5
01:14:31:16 Chapter 6
01:19:25:16 Chapter 7
01:21:14:08 Chapter 8
01:24:29:16 Chapter 9


so somehow it is converting frames (movie is 23.976 fps) into something like a time code, but the first number is hours+1 and the last number is a frame number, because it is always in the range 00 to 23.

anyone that can understand these timecodes please let me know because this is a good feature to have. if i could only use it with the output of chapterxtractor.

ok i answered my own question. the timecode being offset by one hour was a stupid mistake on my part. i didnt reset the timecode setting to zero in encoder settings as it says to do in doom9's most excelent guides.

and the last number is just the remainder frames in 24fps domain. it can simply be calculated by: miliseconds * 0.24

ChapterXtractor will output this format if you set fps rate to 24000 and specify Format: %hh:%mm:%ss:%ff Chapter %c\n

much like the preset for DVDMaestro
