Chapters for MKV files with multiple tracks

[mBrane]

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to create chapters for an MKV file that has multiple tracks. Creating chapters is easy when the video stream is in a single track. When multiple tracks are present, however, shouldn't there be a TrackUID tag or something? Actually, two TrackUIDs I'd imagine for each chapter: one for the video track and one for the audio track.* we can leave subs out of the discussion, unless they are handled in the same way, which would be interesting to hear.


Assume an MKV file with 3 one-minute video and audio tracks (6 tracks total). The odd tracks are video, the even tracks are audio. What would the XML look like, to make chapter 1 = tracks 1 and 2, chapter 2 = tracks 3 and 4, and chapter 3 = tracks 5 and 6?


Everything that I've read about segment linking seems to be about linking different MKV files in the same directory, which is *not* what I'm trying to do here. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

Very lively debate here! Evidently, I'm the only man in Orion's Spur with the need to join multiple tracks into a single virtual timeline. So much for the flexibility of MKV, if the answer (almost always) is to merge into a single track. Still listening, but...

User MBrane. Few have any creative work, not even a written what you have done up to now in this XML.
My question is this? What program to handle this ???

Because if no, why waste my time?

In the MKV container can be only one chapter in multiple languages. Each song audio / video / chapter sea be described separately. The problem is that I have not seen a program that reads the information.

This sure I am you know not I speak about, yes? Yes... Did not work, BTW. Next?
