Wow, so different in different OS's. Like I said all this section are grey here.
I don't know if I can fix this easily. It seems to me I have to add ever a Panel first, which can change the color independent from the OS.
But this would be make a lot of work. I have also started to read about Dark-mode in the Lazarus apps.
I will try to do something but I can't promise it.

Thank you.

A checkbox has normally 2 states: checked and unchecked. But there is a third state, called gray-state.
The gray-state is like undetermined -> not checked and not unchecked.
The word "gray" has nothing to do with the color of the checkbox.

On my Win7 looks the gray-state of the checkbox indeed grey. On Linux it is also a bit grey, but looks totally different to Windows 7 and also Windows 10.
That is/was also the reason why I have insert my own checkbox icons at some places, to simulate a checkbox which looks ever the same on the OS's.

I did not know, thank you!

Another question: is it possible to join 2 chapter files? Zack Snyder's Justice league comes as 2 BDs but I want to join the encode in a single file. No problem for video and audio but how can I join the 2 separate chapter files?

[hubblec4]

Hi tormento

You can load the first chapter file and append the second one. Then select the first chapter of the second chapter file and adjust the timestamps with the Time-Edit-Tool.
Choose for the Action Range "All chapters from the selected ...." and as time shift set the play duration of the first video.

[tormento]

Thanks, will try!

@darksen

I have tested the Dark-Mode in my Win7, and cE is using the dark colors from the OS.
It seems it should work when you change colors in the OS for your Theme.
But I have no idea how and where this settings are in the OS.

Thank you so much for your tool. I have some MPLS that combine multiple episodes (individual m2ts files) and I wanted chapters for these individual episodes but needed something that allows me to remove preceding and following chapter entries but with automatic timecode adjusting.

I may only need it for this one project but do you have a donation thing?

Such a feature exists, called "Split Chapters".
In the GUI you will find it in the Feature-Bar or you can use the CLI of cE.

Hey, I'm trying to upload a chapter file and I'm getting this error:

The following error occurred:

TMySQL56Connection : Error executing query: Field 'm_langietf' doesn't have a default value

[hubblec4]

mmh that's bad.

I'm currently change all to the IETF language and this takes a lot of time because it is a lot of work.

I will set a default value for this field, so that the current cE versions work again.

[hubblec4]

Hi darksen

Can you try to upload chapters, and tell if everything works?

[darksen]

Hey, thank you! It now works well like usual.

[hubblec4]

Wonderful. Thanks for your feedback.

chapterEditor(cE) rev1.30 is available.

After a while there is an update again.

BCP 47 IETF language-tags are now available after the new Matroska Standard
and replace the old language and country codes.

The processing of the language-tags works similarly to MKVToolNix(MTX).
So you have to get used to no new input mask.

However, I did not want to open this extra form to set a language.
The goal was to maintain the "old input" for the languages.
For this you can predefine in the settings("often used") IETF language favorites,
which are then available in the selection lists and can thus be used directly.

New language-tags can be added individually at any time to the selection lists.

The input mask:


There are a few differences to the input mask of MTX.
My Laz_BCP47 Package supports the complete IANA code list for all subtags.
So there is also the "Grandfathered" option
and for the Extensions there is a selection list of the possible ones (there are only two) permissible values.

MTX supports about 8000 languages but in the IANA code list there are 8213 (cE supports all).
Therefore, it can happen that MTX does not recognize a language code from cE.

Hi. Is there way to select certain chapters in DVD2MKV, export them in MKV and to select all titles/chapters at once? Also, if open .IFO file through "Chapter Editors" tab, then DVD angles does not appears, even if uncheck all "Hide IFO-Title" filters, unlike DVD2MKV tab.

Hi and welcome to cE.
Export chapters from the DVD2MKV editor is not possible. The chapters will be created automatically for each title and can be loaded into the chapter-editor.

Yes that's true, the Angles of a title there not present because the chapters are always identical for Angle-Titles.

How do I choose a file to use Upload chapters? It looks like I have an account.

[hubblec4]

Load your chapter file to the chapter editor tab(Matroska). Then you can upload it.

[Masutin]

Alles klar! I got an error as I opened in the OGG section.
