  1. There is again a new version rev0.44
    In chapterEditor there is now a converter.


    For now, one can only load Matroska files (mka, mkv, mk3d) and xml files.
    First (and currently the only) output format, there is the Cuesheet format.

    I have Ligh's chap2cue taken as a template, thank you very much for the small fine tool.
    From gpower2 I get more information and installed it.

      - the checkboxes are now checked automatically if the playing time is too small
    This will be the last version. It was my first project so the source code is very old,
    therefore cE has reached its limits.
    I will only adjust critical errors if they are found and reported.


    However, the cE project is not dead. But on the contrary. The next major update then affects the whole cE.
    I'm just about to code the cE from scratch. Many things on the ToDo list would have become a huge effort in the old cE code. For example, the cE also runs on Linux, multi-chapter tabs, improved chapter naming, automate manual chapter-segment linking, the entire layout of the cE, and much much more.

    The chapter editors are almost finished and I will then also upload a first pre-alpha version.

    What is already working (only roughly):

    chapter Editor:
    - New layout with pictured buttons
    - XBar's
    - Drag&Drop

    Chapter Editors:
    - New chapter formats are supported
    - Multi-Chapter Tabs -> mass loading of chapter files
    - different popups
    - Multi-chapters: new system for improved mass insertion of chapters in all places
    - Chapter naming: new system to change specific chapters, load chapter names from "lists"
    - Chapter Times Edit: also something new
    - Loading of special chapter files and discs (Bluray-DVD) extended with different automation
    - Append chapter files - now for all editors
    - Duplicate Chapter Tabs
    - Copy / cut chapter (not only duplicate) from tab to tab
    - New component to represent the chapters (VirtualStringTree(VST))
    - Several possibilities to insert chapters quickly and purposefully

    Matroska:
    - Full support for the Matroska Chapter Specs
    - In addition, XML comments can be set and read
    - Automated chapter segment linking
    - Direct saving in Matroska files (requires MKVToolNix)

    multiAVCHD
    - Improved presentation of the chapters by the VST
    - Improved thumbnail time generator

    Konverter:
    - Mass direct conversion
    - 2 new output formats


    What is still on the list:

    - Chapter Database: Full XML Support, Identical to ChaptersDB.org
    - Matroska Tags: also full support
    - Matroska Menu
    - Bluray to mkv: more automatic
    - DVD zu mkv: Multi-Angle/Edition mkv's
    - The Help: if it works (I still have to test) -> Video-based as Matroska Menu
    - And if it works, then everything for Linux
    - and even more

    Here are some pictures from the new chapterEditor

    For all those who want to test the new cE ever there is a Pre-preAlpha for download for Windows and Linux.
    The cE starts (in this case, a * .ini is generated) in English, to switch to German the entry "Language = eng_def" should be converted to language = ger_def in the * .ini.
    Further settings can only be changed via the * .ini.
    This is important for MKVToolNix (MTX). The path to the MTX folder must be entered manually.
    (for Win: c:\MTX-Folder\ ; for Linux: /usr/bin/)


    So if there are still wishes or suggestions what the new cE should do, let me know.

  9. A new cE version (1.00Alpha 2) is available.
    Windows
    Linux

    There are a few improvements for Linux, because unfortunately some components contain errors. This I have tried to fix this for now with workarounds.

    The FPS setting was affected by it and unfortunately it is still a little bit, but it does everything again.

    The DVD2mkv editor is now ready in the first basics.
    I have a little bit of makemkv oriented to improve the presentation.
    There is a lot of work and to completion will certainly take some time.

    The new features I wanted to first summarize as a test function, then the idea arose as the 1-click mode to use.
    There will be a "Single and batch processing mode (SBP-mode)" as well as the Multi-Edition-MKV mode.
    Function does at the moment only the one-click mode with limited extent. A file name can be assigned.
    Later there will also be some "MKV presets", for example, languages and their order can be set.

    The menus can also be used for the SBP-mode.

    Hint:
    The Titles can be unchecked or checked with the right mouse button.
    The help texts are still missing, but the captions and pictures speak for themselves.


    It will be needed again a couple of external tools.
    PgcDemuxMod
    BDSup2Sub java oder windows
    MKVToolNix


    Big Thanks to:
    r0IZ
    bigotti5
    Ghitulescu

    which have helped me greatly in the understanding of the IFO structure.
    For some DVDs, only certain audio tracks are mapped for the titles, but PgcDemux and MKVToolNix will also find all the physical tracks.
    All tracks can be edited later and are included in the mkv.

    Here are two small videos

    The issue is this ini entry, cause the "Demux-To-Vob-Option" is set to true, but not implemented.
    Mmmh this is not good. This breaks the DVD2mkvEditor.
    
    Many thanks for your testings!!

    The Single and Batch mode is finished and can be tested.
    Besides the normal titles, the menus can also be converted to an mkv. For this, however, PgcDemux must be used because the Mod version does not work.
    Both PgcDemux versions can exist in the same folder.

    Title and menus can be reserved for the batch process.

  12. chapterEditor Alpha 4 is available. An update for the DVD2mkv editor.
    Windows
    Linux


    Multi-Edition-MKV mode is ready.
    In this mode it is possible to save from a DVD, which contains different editions of a movie, into a single mkv.
    The editions are named by tags, and are then selectable in the player.

    Unfortunately, this procedure is much more complicated than with Bluray, where the m2ts files always contain all the tracks.
    So unfortunately it happens that the VobIDs not all audio and subtitle tracks are present.
    For the subtitles you can simply insert a "dummy" file. However, with the audios does not work that easy.
    Therefore in the Multi-Edition MKV only audio tracks can be used which are present in all VobIDs / Titles.

    In the normal case, all audio tracks should also be found. My test DVDs (Alien 1-4) have audio tracks from the director which is only available in one edition.

    In the cE folder is now a data folder Data. There is the subtitle dummy file (dummy.idx / dummy.sub).
    You can exchange this file, but the file name can not be changed.
    Is currently still hard-coded (will be adjustable later with file dialog).

    The titles/editions can be moved before demuxing, and the edition name should be set also before(or later in the tags file).

    In the test DVD Salt, MTX 12 unfortunately had problems, which Mosu in MTX 13 has fixed. As of now, MTX 13 is required for the chapterEditor.

    There is still a problem with the "ordered chapters". The times agreed for the appended VobIDs do not always match. When muxing(append) the VobIDs with mkvmerge apparently the playing periods are not exactly met. The times have always shifted a bit backwards. 100 to 200ms which then makes up to 4 seconds for 20 attached VobIDs.
    In the chapter creating process are all chapter names expand with the VobID number. With a small manual adjustment then ran all Multi MKVs neat.

    For another test DVD (Christi) which has multi-angle, everything went right immediately, since there is only one different VobID there.

    The Vob2Vob demux function (not for the menus) is now implemented and should always be used. MTX can read the time stamps from VOB files and thus all audio tracks remain synchronous to the video.
    A test with track demux brought horrible audio unsynchronities.

  14. chapterEditor Alpha 6 is available.
    Windows
    Linux

    There are again a few bug fixes and a new special feature.

    Split Chapters:
    I have installed this new feature first for the OGG/OGM editor only.
    You can select a chapter (not the first or the last) and then
    click on "Split chapters" (in the special tool bar).
    Two new OGG tabs are created with the respective chapters.
    Feedback is welcome to find out if everything fits or needs something else.

    The internal Matroska parser I have improved, so also the playing time when loading a Matroska file is used.
    For all time editing fields on which you can drop a file to read the duration, also the internal Matroska parser is used.

    The cE can now load Matroska files without MKVToolNix (MTX).

  16. chapterEditor 1.00 Alpha 7 is available.
    Windows
    Linux

    There is a new special feature for the Matroska Chapter Editor.

    If you saved chapters directly in a Matroska file, you had to start it with a double-click in the file browser....this is on a long term, very cumbersome.
    Therefore, you can now start the Matroska files directly from the chapterEditor out.


    The last chapter end time(if exists) can be used from XML and Matroska files as playing time for the edition. In Matroska files the playing time(SegmentInfo/Duration) is often NOT (actually never) exactly. Therefore, it is more useful to use the last chapter end time.

    The new chapter database is ready.
    It was not possible to use the old database further.
    The user data remain, however, and you can login as usual.
    The users, who have already uploaded chapters, would have to re-upload them so that the new settings

    for the movies are taken over.

    A few things I have removed, since they were not really used, which makes it now something easier and

    more clearly.
    In addition to the chapter files, Matroska Tags files can now be saved.

    From the ChapterGrabber database all movies/chapters with meaningful movie titles were taken over.
    In addition, there must be at least 3 chapters.
    These were about 96000 entries, many of which do not have "proper" chapter names.

    Windows
    Linux

    In the cE there is now again the BD2mkv editor. For now, only the 1-Click mode.

    BD2mkv will depend on MKVToolNix (MTX) only, so that everything runs under Linux.
    Furthermore, eac3to will be used for audio conversions and other tasks.
    For Linux, tsMuxeR will be used.
    The functions of the external tools remain optional. BD2mkv editor is then limited to the functionality of MTX.

    BD2mkv can also process UHD-Blurays, at least what now with eac3to/tsMuxeR and MTX possible.

    MTX has unfortunately no support for Multi-Angle mpls files. Only the 1.Angle is used.
    (In the old cE I had for it eac3to)
    I have extended my mpls parser, so now under Linux/Windows Multi-Angle Blurays can be processed by MTX (without other external tools).
    Furthermore you will be able to create Multi-Edition mkv files on Linux.

    If an mpls contains several m2ts files, it can happen that some m2ts files (usually the first or last) have different properties.
    This means that the mux process does not work in MTX.

    In the BD2mkv editor such "disturbing" m2ts files can be ignored (first, last and duplicates).

    The new MTX functions led to disturbances in the cE, as other editors also have access simultaneously.
    Therefore, I have renewed the MTX interface.
    Everything now runs in its own process and no longer interferes with Multi-Threading.
    At the same time, a few bugs were fixed for Linux.

    tsMuxeR (Windows version) can also be used, but there is only the possibility of core extraction.
    For Linux there is a separate version of tsMuxeR.

    Forced subtitles are automatically searched for and added to the track list.

    Because I have found some important bugs, there is a new cE version after a short time.

    A new helpful feature for BD + DVD2mkv I have installed.

    The function is available for all disc editing modes.

    BD2mkv now has the Multi-Edition-MKV mode.
    Likewise, I have the cut function for DVD2mkv and BD2mkv reinstalled (not quite complete).
    The cut mode "...by parts" I have expanded, so that you can choose whether the same when cutting "join" should be.
    Otherwise you can first cut everything and then join the parts later.

    Play/Open files is another new feature.
    In BD2mkv mpls files can be played or external tracks.
    Subtitles can be opened and edited (if the correct program is linked in your OS).

    Subtitle editing was not as I would like it to be, so I improved a lot there and fixed a few bugs.

    On some Blurays and DVDs (Star Trek, for example), there are no forced subtitles.
    In the normal subtitle track, there are subtitles that could/should be displayed.
    Such subtitles must be edited: New "forced" switches must be set.
    Then the new subtitle track must be saved with the new forced subtitles and only then can the forced subtitles be extracted. And then load the file.
    A pretty annoying thing, so it's now automatic.

    Opening a subtitle file (directly from cE) will now be done in a thread.
    BDSup2Sub is started (also now for Linux) and you can set new forced switches.
    Save: If you do NOT change the default output file name then the new forced subtitles are automatically extracted and loaded into the cE.

  24. chapterEditor(cE) 1.00 RC1 is available.
    Windows
    Linux


    The last editor in the new cE is the Matroska Menu Editor (MME).

    The name "Matroska Menu Editor" no longer applies exactly because this editor contains the Matroska Linking theme.
    There will be the menu function again later.

    Matroska-Linking is one of the best Matroska features available, but unfortunately not widely used.
    There are not any good tools yet, and the support for this feature is limited to a few software.


    Let's start with the "simplest" Matroska-Linking, the Hard-Linking:

    With Hard-Linking, Matroska files that are in a folder are linked virtually and seamlessly
    via their Matroska SegmentUID elements PREV and NEXT.

    The play order of the files can only be changed by re-setting the PREV and NEXT SegmentUIDs.

    The MME sets up such Hard-Linking and can remove it.
    The play order can be changed by moving the files in the list.


    Possible player software:

    The best software is the LAV splitter!
    Unfortunately, VLC(VLC 2.2.x and 3.x) failed the tests.

    For testing, I have a 3min file with MTX split into 30 seconds parts.
    With the Hard-Linking the 3 minutes are seamlessly played in the LAV splitter, without jerks or disturbances.
    VLC shows a total playing time of 3min07sec. At the "transitions" the video hangs for 1 second.



    Another important change in the cE was switching Floats to Int64 for some "times".
    In the ini are numbers that are now misinterpreted.
    Please check the time values in the cE settings. (I have not had time yet, to program an
    automatic to update the ini)

    Windows
    Linux


    It continues with the next Matroska-Linking system, the Medium-Linking.


    For Medium-Linking you need the SegmentUID and ordered chapters.
    In a ChapterAtom, there is the "ChapterSegmentUID" element with the SegmentUID associated with the linked file. The start and end times of the chapter determine the length of the linking.
    It is thus possible to store a large number of linkings in a separate Matroska file without changing the original files.


    For Matroska Medium-Linking to work today, all files that are linked should have the same parameters.
    (Theoretically, a very good Matroska splitter could also process Matroska files with different parameters.)


    With the new Medium-Linking mode "Simple" you can link Matroska files with a separate main file.

    A main play file can be created manually from one of the loaded source files.
    Otherwise, such a file will automatically be created from the 1. source file.
    I have many more automated, so you only have to make one click.
    With a right-click the main play file can be played out of the cE.
    Furthermore, there are a few options for the filename of the main file.
    - Append name: the main filename will be appended to the source filename.
    - Series prefix: with a prefix mask, series prefixes can be adopted and adapted. The main filename will be appended to the new prefix.

    Wildcard: "?" - The character from the source file is adopted
    Wildcard: ":" - The character is a number, which is replaced by a "0"
    Other characters must be exactly the same in the source file
    Example:
    Source file: S01E01 - First Episode.mkv
    Prefix mask:
    Code:
    ????::??? or S??E::?-?
    Main play file full name: S01E00 - Mainmenu.mkv



    Options for using chapters
    4 different chapters options for the main play file are available.
    - No chapters(invisible)
    - One chapter per file
    - Takeover original chapters
    - Original chapters and a separate edition for each file
    For option 3 and 4, the original chapters should be ordered, otherwise cE will perform an internal chapter end-time calculation.
    For option 1 and 2, ordered chapters are created using a playing time.
    For all options, a playing time may/must be used, which may be the file playing time or the standard video track duration.


    Standard video track duration
    For Medium-Linking it is sometimes important to synchronize the chapter times with the video times so that the linked videos are played seamlessly.
    Sometimes the file playing time is sufficient, but often this time is too big.
    Determining the video times works very fast with the Statistics Tags and is 99.9% accurate. However, not all MKV muxer write these Tags.
    I've slightly expanded the internal Matroska parser to parse the clusters, giving you 100% accurate video times. However, this method takes a little bit.
    Both methods can be used simultaneously. First, cE searchs for Statistics Tags.
    If you always want to work with the Cluster method, only this must be activated.
    If neither method is active or the Tags are not found then the file duration will be used.


    Chapter Structure Options:
    The simple top-level structure can be processed with any Matroska Splitter.
    Nested Chapters - LAV Splitter:
    The chapter structure is specially adapted for LAV Splitter.
    Source file editions are better represented using nested chapters in the chapter menu.
    Other splitters can also handle this structure (VLC, mpv). The chapter presentation can be different.


    Player software:
    The two best players are MPC-HC / BE: All chapter options are processed properly.
    VLC launches without problems and also plays the 1st edition, but hangs when selecting a different edition (chapter option 4).
    The chapter options 1-3 are played by many players. Mpv does it with the best. ZoomPlayer and MPDN also work.

    Matroska Medium-Linking menu mode is ready.
    Several Matroska files and their editions can be connected and later conveniently selected in the "Menu".

    Just as in the "Simple" mode, all linkings are stored in a separate main play file.
    The presentation of the "menu" depends on the respective playback software.

    Much has been taken from the old Matroska Menu Editor but also a lot of new and improved.
    The menu-editions and their files are now summarized as a tree structure in the VST.

    Mosu had added new functions in the MTX Chapter Editor, which I also included in the cE.
    Furthermore, there will be a new auxiliary function starting with MTX Version 22:
    Remove dialog normalization from special audio tracks.

    This feature is now available for the Disc2mkv editors.
    For me, this eliminates the demux of such audio tracks with eac3to.
    I guess Mosu will release the new version in the coming days.

    Otherwise there are a lot of improvements.

  28. chapterEditor(cE) 1.00 RC5 is available.
    Windows
    Linux


    While working through the RC-Todo list I found a few bugs.
    Ordered Chapters:
    Since the Matroska specs are not clear enough, I have improved there some checks.
    If the endtime is missing this is not a direct Matroska error, but such chapters disturb the playback,
    since no virtual playing time can be calculated.



    Creating a mtxcfg file for the Disc2mkv editors is now available again.
    The mtxcfg file is a settings file for MKVToolNix (MTX).
    The mtxcfg file opens MTX automatically if certain system settings are set (correct program linkage).

    In cE such a mtxcfg file is created with all settings and you can then make other settings in MTX that are not present in the cE.
    Thus, one can also edit multi-Angle/Edition Blu-rays/DVDs with MTX.

    You can now also create the MKV files yourself (no longer with cE).
    For this, the CMD/Bash file or mtxcfg file can then be used.

    A series Blu-ray can be transferred to MTX within a few seconds using 1-Click mode with all cE presets (selected tracks, sorted, etc.).

    The chapter converter has been extended a bit.
    The FPS conversion can now be used for all output formats.
    The conversion is always active, as is the case in ChapterGen.
    The chapter times are thus changed immediately when loading.


    Native Matroska menu command (s) -> chapter process
    There is only one command so far [GotoAndPlay (ChapterUID);].
    This command is supported in VLC.
    For the easier entry of such a command, only the chapter-UID must be set and
    the binary value is then generated.

    * E-AC3 tracks had no label when eac3to is selected as the editing tool

    * Minimum playing time for titles was not taken into account (conversion to nanoseconds)
