  1. Hi Guys (and girls),
    I try to use Chaptergrabber. But the second it opens the chapters from a Blu-ray file, it close down again. I tried to use it on my Windows 7 PC but same results.
    Apparently it needs an API to obtain from a site called chapterdb.org. but that site is not in operation.

    Also tried older versions of the program, same results. What am I doing wrong?

    thanks for your help with kind regard from a sunny Holland,

  2. Try chapterdb.plex.tv - this is an archive from the old chapterdb.org.

  3. Hello and thanks for your reply.
    I looked on that site. But I just don't see how I can produce an API on that site.
    There is no explanation how to make it.
    So, I made one a Google maps. But the program does not accept that key.
    If you could enlighten me on this?

    Thanks again from a sunny peaceful Holland,

  4. I never used it to produce an API-file, I just downloaded the chapter files to mux with MKVToolnix.
    There is a short explanation on https://chapterdb.plex.tv/docs:
    "The API has been documented at docs.jarrettvance.apiary.io. You must supply your API key from your account page as a http header."

  5. Hi again. I always worked with DVD's and now new to Blu-ray stuff. For this I need the chapters in a .txt file in which the times codes are as follows
    00:00:00.000
    00:06:17.377
    00:10:14.906
    00:15:26.175
    00:24:33.180
    00:27:21.723
    00:29:15.712
    00:34:07.754
    00:40:00.690
    00:46:44.927
    00:54:25.554
    00:56:47.404
    01:04:05.592
    Chaptergrabber is supposed derive them from the .mt2s files and to produces this, but I am just not clever enough to understand how to produce an API on fore mentioned site and to put it in al a key for the program.
    So, now I used HdBrstreamextractor. This gives also a .TXT with the chapters in this format:
    CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000
    CHAPTER01NAME=
    CHAPTER02=00:06:17.377
    CHAPTER02NAME=
    CHAPTER03=00:10:14.906
    CHAPTER03NAME=
    CHAPTER04=00:15:26.175
    CHAPTER04NAME=
    CHAPTER05=00:24:33.180
    CHAPTER05NAME=
    CHAPTER06=00:27:21.723
    CHAPTER06NAME=
    CHAPTER07=00:29:15.712
    CHAPTER07NAME=
    CHAPTER08=00:34:07.754
    CHAPTER08NAME=
    CHAPTER09=00:40:00.690
    CHAPTER09NAME=
    CHAPTER10=00:46:44.927
    CHAPTER10NAME=
    CHAPTER11=00:54:25.554
    CHAPTER11NAME=
    I cleaned out all the unnecessary stuff and use that as basis now.
    I also use Mkvtoolnix but this does not give me the wanted .txt file.
    Maybe I better stick to the HdBrstreamextractor.
    So, again thanks for you help.
    As said, apparently I am not clever enough to understand many things. So the only way that what would help is more BRAINS!
    Thanks again.

  6. HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor is fine. Just take the created txt-file and mux it with MKVToolnix (Output-Chapter File).
    If you want to change the timecodes, you could use VirtualDub2 for example. Go to the frame you want as a new chapter and note the exact time. You can then enter this in the txt file.
