ChapterGen

ChapterGen is an application that enables you to manipulate and convert video chapters that are specific to Blu-Ray, HD DVDs and DVDs with media stream selectors.

The setup is quick, straightforward and does not require any special attention from your part, as all you need to do is decompress the archive into the desired location on your local drives. Upon launch, you come face to face with an outdated and unpolished interface, but that is also structured, intuitive and should not give you any troubles.

The UI consists of a small window that displays the duration of the chapters and enables you to select the input and output FPS. After all, the highlight of the program stems from the fact that it allows you to convert DVD and Blu-Ray info files between framerates.

On a side note, you should know that the application also supports command line. If you find it more convenient to work with the Windows console, you can manipulate the files using commands.

The program supports widely used input formats, such as OGG, MKV, MLPS, XPL, IFO, Celltimes File format as well as other files that work with DVD media with stream selectors. As far as the output formats are concerned, you can convert the chapters to Sonic Cinevision and Sonic Scenarist CSV, Timecodes Text File, DVDAuthor, HC Enc Text file, OGG, x264 QP text, tsMuxler and Muxman, just to name a few,

While it is not very intuitive, you should know that you can choose the output format from the Save as function from the File menu. The app enables you to preview the files before the processing.

In the eventuality that you created new chapters for your video collection or would like to enhance the output format for the chapter files, then perhaps ChapterGen could come in handy.
