iTunes Movie Store like chapter markers with pictures #27

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Would it be possible to add support for iTunes Movie Store like chapter markers 
with pictures?
If you buy/rent a movie in the iTunes store each chapter marker has a picture 
from the movie. I 
guess it's just a link to the corresponding frame. At least these kind of 
chapter markers are 
displayed on the Apple TV.

Thanks for this great piece of software. If you need support for e.g. 
translation, please let me know.

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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
No, I just can't add them to the file with subler looking for a secondary way 
of doing it.

Original comment by gundam.r...@gmail.com on 1 Aug 2009 at 12:51

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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)

Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com on 1 Aug 2009 at 1:16

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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 on 4 Aug 2009 at 1:15

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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 .

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.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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!

Original comment by thomas.b...@gmail.com on 17 Mar 2010 at 4:44

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
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.
