#894 Megui 2772 does not mux XML chapters

[meganone]

Hi

So although it's reportedly solved, I still encounter a bug where Megui does not properly into my MKV encodes.

I dug into this a bit this afternoon. I installed a fresh copy of Megui then updated everything to the latest versions.

My typical workflow is this:

1. Rip the main movie with MakeMKV
2. Index the file with Megui's indexer
3. Extract the chapter file (XML) with MKVExtractGui
4. Set everything up
5. Click AutoEncode, add subtitles and chapters and then queue the encode.

I did a first test encode with a DVD movie (Wicked City) with this workflow and the final encode was not chaptered.

I did a second encode, this time using an XML chapter file produced by Megui's Chapter Creator tool. Same result.

So I started thinking that perhaps MakeMKV was to blame, so I ripped the complete DVD and encoded from there. Still no chapters.

Finally, I tried saving chapters to TXT format in the Chapter creator...and that did! This time, my encode was properly chaptered. Likewise, my encode from a MKV file produced by MakeMKV was properly chaptered when I used a TXT file rather than an XML file.

It must be noted that these XML chapter files, both those produced by Megui and MKVExtractGUI, work just fine when muxing files manually in MKVToolnixGUI.

Looking at the logs, I noticed this:

• Encoding with a TXT chapter file*

"S:\Meguitest\tools\mkvmerge\mkvmerge.exe" -o "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1-muxed.mkv" --engage keep_bitstream_ar_info --default-duration 0:25fps "--compression" "0:none" -d "0" --no-chapters -A -S "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1.264" "--compression" "0:none" -a 0 --no-chapters -D -S "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1 T80 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ogg" --chapters "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1-muxed_chptmp.txt" --engage no_cue_duration --engage no_cue_relative_position --ui-language en

• Encoding with an XML chapter file*

"S:\Meguitest\tools\mkvmerge\mkvmerge.exe" -o "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1-muxed.mkv" --engage keep_bitstream_ar_info --default-duration 0:25fps "--compression" "0:none" -d "0" --no-chapters -A -S "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1.264" "--compression" "0:none" -a 0 --no-chapters -D -S "S:\Video\WICKED_CITY\DVD\DVD_VTS_01_1 T80 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ogg" --engage no_cue_duration --engage no_cue_relative_position --ui-language en

As you can see, with XML chapter files, Megui does not add the chapters to the muxing command. Therefore, the final file is not chaptered.

I attach to this post the TXT and XML chapter files that I used for this test.

TL;DR Megui does not add chapters to the muxing command when chapters are in XML format. Tested with Megui 2772.

Thanks for the detailed report. I can reproduce the problem.

Should be fixed in 2773

While continue testing I found another issue with some XML files. 2774 incoming...

[Zathor]

2774 should now fix it completly

Hi
2774 fixes it indeed. Thanks for the support.
