0.9.2 iPod preset no chapter markers

Post by ølsen »

Hi,

I've just finished encoding the first DVD using the 0.9.2 CLI on linux with the "iPod-HiRez" preset

Code: Select all

handbrake -i MY_DVD/ -Z "iPod High-Rez" -O -a 2,1 -U -F -o my_dvd.mp4
Unfortunately the resulting file does not include any chapter markers (neither in VLC, QuickTime nor the iPod touch) :shock: although the preset should include the "-m" flag! Did I do anything wrong or did I find a bug?

I checked the code, I definitely didn't forget to put job->chapter_markers = 1; in there.

Provide an activity log. Also, probably not a good idea to use -O on titles where you want chapters in QuickTime. QT only sees chapters if the file name ends in .m4v, but it refuses to open optimized MP4 files if they're named .m4v. On the other hand, the chapters should be visible on the iPod still...

As for VLC, pretty sure it never has supported Apple chapters.
