Chapter pointers slightly off
Authored by: DougAdams on Aug 21, '05 07:25:57PM

About chapter start times being slightly off: rounding each track's to the nearest second and adding them together to get chapter start times is not the best solution. My script, Join Together, mentioned above, uses Spotlight scripting to grab accurate durations from a file's meta data out to a millionth of a second (or whatever the fractional time happens to be). Despite the time format requirements suggested for ChapterTool--a time value such as 12:34--apparently times such as 12:34.56789 work fine, and thus provide more accuracy.

question about Join Together
Authored by: silentaccord on Aug 22, '05 04:02:22PM

When Join Together exports AAC audio from QuickTime, is it compressing it again or is it just passing the audio through unmodified?
