chapterEditor(Chapter-Database Disc2mkv Matroska-Tools[Tags,Menu,Multi-MKV])+CLI
Hi everyone
I have started for a while with a simple and small chapter Editor project. The project has grown and now are 4 diffrent Format Editors avalible and an editor for muxing multi editions mkvs (like Xin1Generator). There is now a Reddit for chapterEditor. Matroska Multi-MKV Editor With this editor you can create easy and fast multi-mkv files from normal Matroska files(mkv,mka,mk3d). Only the chapters and tags are replaced and no video or audio data is manipulated. You can download here some tutorial videos. Multi-Editions-Editor (MEE): With this editor you can backup your Blu-Ray to mkv. If there are multiple editions on the BluRay, they can be stored in a space-saving mkv with "ordered chapters". here an old Tutorial(with rev0.14) Matroska Menu Editor (MME) The new MME helping a while Matroska files (mkv, mka, mk3d) that are located in a folder and the same specifications (number of tracks in the correct order and the same codecs for video, audio, subs) have, to connect with each other via the menu. In this case, no files need to be remuxed. Tutorial-Video DVD2mkv: is a small tool to quickly mux the tracks on a DVD to a mkv. Functions for edit the mkv's are also available. Matroska Tags: With this editor you can provided Matroska files with Tags. Tags contain useful information that can be collected and processed by other programs. Functions: supported file formats:

You find here chapter samples and here new samples. ***************************************************************************************************************** ********** chapterEditorCLI ********** cE CLI is a small command line tool with which you can generate chapter files from the chapter database.

1. The blue entries are the chapter name(s). Dean provided a very generous 4 lines for this.
2. The green entries are the time position of the thumbs to appear in the chapters menu page.. If none specified, the midway point between the current and the next chapter is used. 3. There could be a 4th parameter sandwiched between time code and name, but could not figure out what it is. So use a <space> between the two <tab> characters. The attached screen caps should be self explanatory. Last edited by mariner; 30th December 2013 at 06:16. |

I asked deank for the specs of his own chapter format.
brainstorming : in what for a format would you convert the multiAVCHD.chapter? // OGG I can use the first timecode and the 4-Chaptername-Lines (generate one line with one chapter name) to convert it to ogg.chapter. The last timecodes(thumbs) can not be used. // XML The firsttimecode is normal starttime. The 4-Chaptername-Lines should be compressed to one line, because the chaptername-system in XML works different to the 4-Chaptername-Lines-system of multiAVCHD. It is possible to generate more chapternames for the chaptertimestamp but the player will shown only the first chaptername at the moment. there is no splitter(or player) avalible that can handle this mkv-feature. The last timecodes(thumbs) could be stored as nested chapters. // 3GPP TTXT The firsttimecode is normal starttime. The 4-Chaptername-Lines can be saved in the same way. 3GPP TTXT supported Multi-chaptername-lines. The last timecodes(thumbs) can not be used. the chaptername-line are ever 4? what is when set no chaptername or only one chapterline, how looks the chapter.file now? i hope deank will give me the specs then it will be easy to support it. |

A solution will be i write a new own format editor for multiAVCHD which supports other formats. But i think this take a bit time. without the right syntax of the chapter.files could be hard. I will think about it, but i don't promise anything. |

i have tested a bit multiAVCHD.
The chapters can saved with or without the chaptername(s) and the thumbtime. without: the chapterformat is the same like Timecodes Text File (see the chapter sample folder). multiAVCHD is able to handle to following chapter formats - CCE SP Text File - Celltimes Text - HC Enc Text file - Muxman - OGG Chapter Text File - Timecodes Text File of what for a format you would like convert it to mulitAVCHD.chapter? can you explain me what is the number right of the "apply"-button? |

The multiAVCHD chapters txt file is basically a Timecodes Text File with chapter name and thumbnail position. Quote:

That's the number of chapters multiAVCHD will create if the auto button is clicked. Many thanks and best regards. |

multiAVCHD works not perfect with frame-based chapter formats. there is a standard source fps set (i think 24000/1001), but you can't change it. Quote:
at the moment i work on some fixes and improvements but i add it to my todo list. i plan the same support like the other editors(formats,FPS,Naming,Time adjustment and cuting). you would like to have a "auto" button to generate thumbnail positions? what you need too? but it will take a while, maybe on next revision. |

hi mariner
i need your help to write a perfect procedur for the auto-thumbnail position button. multiAVCHD set for the last chapter a thumbnail position thats greater as the chapter time. is this correct? to generate the middle time of two chapters is easy but the last chapter has no next chapter. Which time should be used? Last edited by hubblec4; 4th January 2014 at 02:29. |

Chapter time is used for thumbnail position if it is the last chapter.
Perhaps you'd like to consider doing the same for the other chapters as well. So if no thumbnail is specified, multiAVCHD can default to using the midway point for thumbnail position. |
