Aaah, thanks! Sorry for not realizing this.

I'm just looking for a simple tool that can convert chapter lists as created by NLEs
to convert it to chapter lists of different formats to serve it to use NLEs, authoring
tools, encoders e.g. I-frame control lists such as qpfile for X264 which is sadly frame
based & which needs to be calculated by TC / frame rate.

Is that of someones interest so maybe you could add a new tab of the mentioned features?

Thanks in advance

Jim

[hubblec4]

Hi Jim

What are "NLEs? Have you a sample of such chapter list?

I have not much time but i will have a look.

[Jim_Pansen]

Sorry for the delay.
A lot user may would be really thankful!
'NLE' just means 'non-linear editing system'!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system

The usual scenario is that one does an edit or mastering of a feature film in NLE & sets
the chapter points. Most NLEs can export chapter lists so the user may like to use it in
the desired encoding tool to set I-frames on the right TC position. After encoding the
assets the chapter list is needed to set the right frame in favorite autoring tool.

I could send you some specific sample files holding chapter lists for different tools.
Please be patient, it will take some time.

Thanks in advance

Jim

I have read a bit, but I found nothing about chapter lists. Without a syntax and semantic I can't do anything.

That would be helpful.

chapterEditor should be able to handle such chapter lists? And as output format ogg,xml,ttxt,multiavchd or you need another output format?

However, since a number of settings can be selected freely, I have also tried to give these freedoms.
If anyone needed further adjustments as they could be reprogrammed quickly.
