[QUOTE="ckcomm, post: 176763, member: 54553"] Thanks for this. I haven't got it quite right though. I've created a file called "abc.txt" and placed it in the same directory as "abc.mpg". The file contains my desired chapter points - 2 per line, separated by a space. I also put in the header "FILE PROCESSING COMPLETE 75000 FRAMES AT 2500" followed by a line of dashes, cut and pasted from your example. (I made up the 75000 number for the total frame count though, because I don't know it - is this important? Must it be exact, or greater than, or less than the actual frame count of the video file? I didn't know what "AT 2500" referred to so I left it as-is.) I would then expect that the chapter forward/reverse keys would skip to the nearest chapter point after/before the current playback position. Is this correct? I'm using the F8 and F4 keys on my keyboard to try this - F8 has no effect, while F4 brings up a progress-bar-like thing at the top of the screen that is labeled "N/A". This is the same behavior I see for other video files for which no chapter file exists. Here's what my file looks like: If you have any further suggestions, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.
