Using FFMPEGX, help!

[kamikaze]

Hey!

Trying to convert an AVI to a DVD....there's an option in FFMPEGX that allows you to create a VIDEO_TS.
Thing is, i want this movie to have a few chapters. Not really specific as to WHEN the markers are, just as long as there are a few spread out, so you can skip along the movie to get where you want.

Because FFMPEGX is turning my AVI directly into a VIDEO_TS folder, i've gotta be able to set chapters within that program, right?

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thnx

If memory serves me correctly you can't set chapters with ffmpegX
but you can make the video and audio streams with it and let Sizzle
do the rest (tab "Other" check "Use custom chapter times (separated by
commas") and enter the desired values.

5 min. chapters should look like this:

0:00:00.00,0:05:00.00,0:10:00.00,0:15:00.00,......

correct. To say FFMPEGX makes video_ts folders must mean it can make chapters isnt true.

it will make the folder from your source file (which usually is some form of .mpeg that is whole (lacking chapters)

like ykz said, there are other programs that can do this for you.
