How to insert/ keep chapters
« on: January 06, 2019, 06:50:16 PM »
When playing (with MPC) some of the MP4/ AVC videos have marks to indicate semantic parts (vertical lines in the timeline).
Is there a way to keep/ insert those separators with avidemux?

I'm sorry, but chapters are not supported.

Found out.
It's the metadata:

If one wants to avoid MB-sized GUIs its possible to insert chapters (metadata) with ffmpeg:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#Metadata-1

Transfer chapters works by:

ffmpeg -i INPUT -f ffmetadata FFMETADATAFILE

To get ALL the streams then:

ffmpeg -i INPUT -i FFMETADATAFILE -map_metadata 1 -vcodec copy -c:a copy -map 0 OUTPUT

However quite uncomfortable if one wants to create new chapters.
