'Chapters' in a single .mkv/.avi? - Knottyboy - 2011-08-17

Good Afternoon All,

If I had an .avi or another container with let's say 5+ episodes (like a full rip of a DVD of a show in one video container), is there a way to manually add to the library different time "chapters" as episodes.

Just to elaborate a little:

Lets say this show is called 'bob'.

DVD 1 of 'bob' contains the following episodes:

Episode 1 (Starts at 00:00)
Episode 7 (Starts at 07:00)
Episode 2 (Starts at 14:00)
Episode 5 (Starts at 21:00)
Episode 3 (Starts ar 28:00)
etc..

All these are ripped to bob.mkv (one file).

Is there any way to do this manually?

Thanks in advance,


PS I have scanned through these but don't seem to able to find anything on the above:

The only suggestion I can offer is to look at treating it as a tv show with multi part episodes...

In particular the use of <epbookmark> tags in the .nfo files as detailed in the link from the article I've given above.

This is exactly what I needed, thank you very much.... kinda stupid I missed it to be honest.
