Chapters Timecodes from AVS

I am sure there must be easy solution to this. But I have not been able to find it. After days of googling nothing seems to be visible.

I am trying to put Chapters in my AVS scripts for final MKV output.
My script contains multiple clips (amalgamation of video clips, and pictures).

" I would like to put a Chapter start at beginning of each my clip. "

ShowSMPTE will Timecodes in video, but not to an external text file like chapters.txt.

My normal route is x264 for .264 and faac/neroAacEnc for .aac or wav(vdub) to ac3 (eac3to), to using mkvmerge for MKV with chapters.

I don't mind doing another pass on my .AVS as I am doing second pass for Audio already. This pass should create a text file compatible with mkvmerge with my specified timecodes.

Any info would be helpful.

I'm confused about what you're trying to do but this sounds more like an MKV container issue than a avisynth issue.

As I understand it, you want your script to create a text file containing timecode data.
Perhaps something similar to the approach in this thread will do what you want.
