mp4 container - different chapter formats
Recently I got into converting some of my mkv clips to mp4 (better compatibility with hardware media players). I noticed that there are two different methods to incorporate chapter information within the mp4 container:
mp4creator (also Handbrake) creates chapter information as "Apple Text" (this is what Mediainfo tells me). These files play correctly on my PC with VLC, but MPC-HC does not recognize the chapters. MP4Box creates chapters in a different way. In Mediainfo these chapters show up exactly like they do in the mkv file, and this time MPC-HC plays the file correctly. For maximum compatibilty with hardware players, which method is the preferred one? And if the "Apple Text" format is the preferred format, which software can I use to convert mkv chapters to mp4? mp4creator seems to be a little buggy (or maybe it's just the DVBPortal MP4Muxer GUI).
