How can I walk by frame and get timecode for a mkv file?

[nzdreamer55]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to split a mkv file. I have been successful splitting at chapter marks using mkvmerge because I can load the chapter and get the timecode from the chapter editor, but I have a few mkv files where I want get a piece that is in the middle and is not surrounded by chapter marks.

Is there a way to step through a mkv file frame by frame and get the timecode where I want to break the file? VLC maybe? another player?

Thanks everyone

Steve

if you're using haali splitter with mpc, with ffdshow to decode, you can activate the osd in ffdshow and you should be able to navigate frame by frame using the arrow keys

another method is to use avisynth with ffvideosource() and ffinfo(), you can nativate in avspmod or vdub frame by frame. This is actually more accurate, because the 1st method relies on directshow (can be inconsistent, times might be slightly off)
