[HELP] Automatic Chapter Creation

[mBrane]

Good to hear, do you have a decent understanding of Qt and C++?
You basically need to adjust the source code of Hybrid to:
a. properly analyze the sources (mplayer, mencoder, ffmpeg, mkvmerge, mkvinfo,.. calls need to be adjusted)
b. check whether a merge is supported or not
c. subtitle, timecode, tag extractors need to be adjusted
d. chapter generation needs to be adjusted
e. job generation for audio, video, subtitle, etc. needs to be adjusted
f. job processing needs to be adjusted
-> writing a new tool which does would probably faster. (fastes might be to 'simply' adjuste mkvmerge to do what you want)

I'm not committing to modifying Hybrid.  I'm almost done writing an app that will automatically create a chapters.txt (OGM) and chapters.xml file for any given directory or set of files.  It scans each file for duration and builds the chapters file for you.  This can be added to mkvtoolnix, to allow folks to combine multiple files into a single MKV, without having to painstakingly create chapter files manually.  I've googled the piss out of this and believe that my app will be the first.  - mBrane
