Skipping chapters with HandBrakeCLI

Post by wordmanward »

I have a source file with six chapters in it. I want to encode it, skipping the second chapter. I have tried a few variations on the chapter parameter, such as:

Code: Select all

-c "1,3-6"

Code: Select all

-c "1 3-6"

Code: Select all

-c "1 3 4 5 6"
...but all of these just encode the first chapter only. What am I missing?

I don't think this is possible, you would have to encode chapter 1 then chapter 2-6 then join them in another program.
