I would like to import chapters into muxman from what is hopefully a chapter template.
I've come to recognize that the chapters to be imported into muxman must come from a frame number format ? as opposed to being represented by particular time-stamps within the movie.
If a template were to identify chapters every 5 minutes for 180 minutes in total, then it would seemingly just be a matter of simply deleting unneeded chapters from end of the template text file for a movie that I mux, depending of course on how long the movie is.
I?m bad at math, and am wondering if my simple theory concerning how to set this up is correct. Anyways -- and I hope that I am on the right track here -- in order to have a chapter inserted every 5 minutes, since there are 29.97 frames per second in NTSC video, if I multiply that by 300 (<<60 seconds, multiplied by 5), I get frame 8991 as the first chapter point. I?ve set up a simple spreadsheet to do the rest of the math. Are the calculations below appropriate for this template? Or have I jumped to the wrong conclusion? If I?m wrong, could you please help me?
It?s going to be a little while before I mux another movie, so I thought I?d ask you folks in advance?.
Regards,
