Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth for that. Due to my crappy ISP, I have limited data and don't have it to spare for this. As valiant an effort as chapterEditor is, I think I'm just going to give up on trying to do multi-edition MKVs, as it's proven to be too difficult and error-prone. Thanks, anyway.

Yes, it is also a problem to send such large data over the network. I understand you well, as my internet connection is not the best either.

The problem with the multi-edition MKVs is always merging the data from the M2TS files into a single file, as unfortunately MTX does not use a very good internal process.

A completely 100% perfect method would be to mux all the M2TS files separately into MKV files and then access the files using ordered chapters and generate the virtual timeline. But then you have a lot of MKV files, and whether you want that is up to you.

Have you also activated the option "Use time stamp files" in the latest cE version? This helps MTX to put the audio frames in the right place.

Is there a way to open a, previously created, Multi-Edition MKV and use the BD2MKV Chapter check feature that was introduced in rev1.44?

When using BD2MKV to create a multi-edition MKV, I found the chapter check feature convenient to check the transitions and adjust as necessary. However, I didn't discover the feature until after already creating some Multi-Edition MKV files. I'm hoping there's a way to go back and check them using this feature.

hubblec4, many thanks for this tool!

Hi phant8m

and welcome to Doom9 forum.

The Chapter Check feature is only available for the currently created multi-edition MKV file.

Unfortunately, editing it afterwards is not possible.

On the other hand, I highly recommend using the new feature (timestamp files) for creating multi-edition files.

Only with timestamp files for the audio will you get a 100% clean multi-edition MKV file.

Thanks for confirming. Regarding the timestamp feature, I think I'm using it.

I'm using rev1.45 of cE with DGDemux. "Timestamp Files" is checked on the MKV tab of the Disc2MKV preferences. I can confirm timestamp files for the audio tracks do get created. Hopefully this all means it's working.

All the multi-edition MKVs I've created are from the same TV series. For these, I've noticed that the transition from angle 2 back to angle 1, was 1 frame late causing audio/visual "glitches" on playback (from showing 1 frame of the next scene in angle 2 before it switches back to angle 1). This was easy enough to fix using the chapter check feature though.

OK, good to know that the chapter check feature helps.

Above the Timestamp files setting, there's an option for the "Magic" Timestamp Scale value.
This option should also be enabled, as it creates better timestamps for audio and video, which can lead to smoother transition control.
