Hi mate,
I wanted to have the same thing for a while, but as far as I know, in the later
OS
versions chapter markers just don't have screenshots anymore. It's an OS
related
feature not file related. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm also
interested in the same thing.
Thomas.

I have been investigating this issue for a while now (I'm on OSX 10.5.7
currently).
As far as I can tell, the picture chapter markers come from a second video
track on a movie, a video track
comprised of jpeg images. As result, if a future OS doesn't show these, then it
seems to be that a future OS that
hasn't been completed yet hasn't received code that reads this track. As
result, though, the OS is not the issue in
question. As far as setting up this second video track for our movies, I have
no idea how they're setup. What I
have typed is all I know.

I was talking about the iPhone OS. Do you guys have a sample movie for the
iPhone of this that I can
check out? I know that podcasts support these chapters still (club life by
tiesto for example). I'm really
curious now :)

Can you tell me of a video podcast with picture chapters? I can't recreate it
because I'm not sure how it works. If
I could find an iTunes Video, with picture chapters, without DRM, then I could
extract the picture chapter
markers, reverse engineer it, figure out how to do it. However, with every
iTunes Store Movie, and Digital Copy
(from any DVD), it'll have the DRM on it :(.
If I could make a sample movie, I could recreate it and do it for any and all
movies, or tv show (Dead Like Me
FTW)

OK I used garage bane to make a podcast with changing artwork. the new video
track looks identical to the
picture track in the itunes videos. Unfortunately subler will not let me add
this track to the video files......

Oh wow j.k... , do you see chapters with stills on an iPhone/iPod Touch?
Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com
on 31 Jul 2009 at 10:59
No, I just can't add them to the file with subler looking for a secondary way
of doing it.

I meant: does the digital copy (of the iPhone) have the stills when you put it
on the iPhone?
I have an idea: use QuickTime pro (and maybe select the jpeg track as chapter
track)

Yeah the digital copy shows the thumbnails on the iphone....
Tried your idea of quicktime pro......

What I know.....
1. Chapter thumbnails are stored in a second video track.
2. That video track is set to layer 1 (not -1).
3. It seems the second video track is similar if not identical to a podcast
artwork track.
4. I can make the picture track in garage band, but i can not mux that track
in subler.
5. Doing this in mov does not work.
6. my brain hurts.......

Mate,
how did you manage to extract the picture track from your movie?
Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com

Guys, I managed to do the chapter markers with artwork using Compressor (from
Final Cut Studio 3.0) working
on iPhone!

j.kint,
can you give me a sample code to show what you have done for this issue. I have
been investigating this issue
for a long time. thank you .
share knowledge, share happiness.

there really is no source code to what i did, i did it all by hand with various
programs and looking into videos i
got on the itunes store.

Any progress on this? Would be so great to be able to do this easily with this
great app!! When adding these kind
of chapters in Compressor (Final Cut Studio) you can:
- choose to use an external file (which will be imported)
- or the frame on that timestamp itself
- or even a different frame from the movie (it's not a live link I think, but
just a capture of that frame)
Hope that helps.

If it's not too much to ask, I'd really appreciate it if Subler would compile
the movie picture track for me (When
this is implemented). Could there be an extra "picture" column in the Chapters
Panel?

i think Subler is awesome, and being able to add thumbnails to chapter markers
would make it phenominal :) any
progress on this feature? i'll be keenly awaiting updates

thomas,
Could you outline how you got this to work with compressor?
Original comment by broallen...@gmail.com
on 10 Mar 2010 at 10:24
If I remember correctly:
I added a marker (in the right window), then did command + E and changed it to
a chapter marker with a
different frame from within the movie. Shouldn't be too hard.
Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com

Thanks thomas.buyukkilic, seems to have worked. Now if I could just get my
subtitles back in . . .

So, I can now create m-jpeg tracks.
Just everything else to do.
Original comment by damiog
on 17 Mar 2010 at 2:28
Wow it does even work.
Now all I need to do is to grab the frame from the video track at a chapter
break point and convert it to jpeg.
Original comment by damiog
on 17 Mar 2010 at 2:44
You're a genius mate! While you're at it mate, is it possible to choose a
custom frame from the source? Maybe
even an external image as well? That would pretty much complete it. It's
amazing how fast you were able to have
it semi-working! Keep it up!

Here's a test version: http://drop.io/galadi8/asset/subler-test-zip (intel
only, not tested on leopard)
it automatically create the new track when saving or optimizing, if there isn't
an existing one.
I have not thought yet on what kind of interactions I'll add.
Original comment by damiog
on 18 Mar 2010 at 4:00
Seems to work fine.
My only suggestion as to what to add would be an image list for the m-jpeg so
you can set custom thumbnails...

Great work!
Crashed when I did the following:
-opened a m4v file (video, audio, sub) which was generated using Subler
-added a chapter file
-> crashed
But worked when I did exactly the same again, haha! Mate... it's awesome!
Custom frames would make it...
unique in it's features. I'm sure the Roadmovie guys will steal your code to
generate the m-jpeg track. They
do avertise that Roadmovie is able to create chapter tracks with stills on
iPhone, but it just isn't true. Not since
firmware 2.2 or something. Anyway, this is great!
Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com
on 19 Mar 2010 at 3:27
Oh, that guy, he's still using code from subler in isubtitle, no reason for him
to
not steal more.
Can you post a crash log?
Original comment by damiog
on 19 Mar 2010 at 5:17
Mate I tried reproducing the problem with the same files and everything, but I
couldn't succeed, so it had to
be something else. Great job!
Maybe an idea for the custom frames:
When selecting the m-jpeg track, subler could show all the chapters with their
current picture. The source for
the picture could be:
- the default (current chapter frame)
- a custom frame within the file
- external jpeg file
I don't know what the requirements should be for the external file though...
You could force the same
dimensions when importing, but I'm sure you're 5 steps ahead of me :)
Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com
on 19 Mar 2010 at 6:17
WOOT! damiog, you are my hero! THANK YOU!!!!!
As for custom frames, I think the chapter screen should be redone to be like
the iPod Classic and iPhone's
album screen, with the name of the album next to it's artwork. For Subler,
you'd see the name of the Chapter
next to a blank box, or a box filled with a still already, and you can drag
pictures to it like you do already for
album artwork.
Just my two cents. Then again, after using the beta, and seeing how it's a
different track...meh, I don't know if
my idea is possible. I'd be cool if it was. Thanks again! ^_^

http://drop.io/sublerbeta/asset/subler-beta-zip a new beta.
I added a new prefs to enable the chapter markers with pictures, some people
might prefer to not have them, and
now it's possible to import the jpeg track from other mp4 or mov files.
And mm I should have fixed the crash seen by thomas.buyukkilic,

Thanks for the mirror mate. I managed to crash this version as well, but just
once! The first time I start it and I
save the movie it crashes, BUT the movie is saved correctly. When I do the same
thing again, I doesn't crash
anymore. I attached the crashlog.

First of all, I'd like to say a BIG thank you for this. It is such a huge
feature to me. Thank you very much.
I tested it and worked like a charm for the AppleTV and iTunes, except when
streaming through homesharing,
but that didn't worked before so it's probably an iTunes limitation.
The only problem I get is that the pictures doesn't show in my iphone. Maybe
I'm missing something...
Can someone confirm this, please?
And, thank you, again.
