.MOV Chapters to XML or OGM

Open nitewing76 opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Can you please add support for .MOV files?

I export MOV from Premiere Pro, use MKVToolNix to convert to MKV, so I can extract the chapters in an acceptable XML format. Then use WonderShare UniConverter to convert to MP4 (to lower the file size with a bitrate similar to the original files imported into Premiere Pro). Then back to MKVToolNix to combine the MP4 and XML to create the final MKV file.

I've tried various methods of extracting chapter markers from Premiere Pro, but none of the formats are compatible with MKVToolNix. As you probbaly know, MKVToolNix will accept chapter files in it's custom XML or OGM text format.

If you cannot add support for .MOV, then maybe you can support one of the exportable formats from Premiere Pro?

I created a sample workflow using this video.

I uploaded all the files to DropBox.

(or you can copy+paste) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/pleuxc5m3819zjvptt418/AI8LFGDAt9VeiOYrQr0LcYU?rlkey=pvp6c0aiw3j5wi34fymfb9qxx&st=8ewd4khs&dl=0

If this is possible, please include a translatable version in the release?
