Package details
The tool parses a DVD disc or image and extracts the exact
duration for each chapter of a given title. Then the total list
of chapters is split into a user-selectable number of subsets.
Each subset should have approximately the same duration.
This is a very useful approach for multi-cd rips. You no longer
simply split the movie in the middle of the frame count but you
choose two sets of chapters for both parts which both have
(almost) the same length. Then the disc-break is not at a rather
random point (concering the story telling of the movie) but at
the end of a dvd-chapter.
The chapter timings and the split sets are also very useful for
chapter navigation (even on a single disc). The normal output
mode of chaplin thus prints the chapter's relative beginning time
and the duration in a wide number of formats, ranging from seconds,
frame counts to timestamps.
For S/VCD mastering chaplin can also produce vcdimager XML files
for each disc.
There a complete sequence structure with chapter entry points is
defined. Also the full navigation setup for chapter hopping is
provided. Additionally you can add chapter menus and automatically
create the necessary menu pages out of thumbnails extracted
directly from the DVD.
