Concerts, tracks and chapters vs subtitles?

Postby ajmas » 27 Nov 2015 17:20

I have some video tracks of concerts that people we kind enough to provide a time listing of when each piece starts. I now want to associate them with my movie file, though I am debating whether it is better to represent them as chapters markers, subtitles or a little of both? One of the issues is that the description can be long, so may not be best for chapters.

Just to give you an idea of the sort thing I am looking at:

and then look down in the comments for the set names.

Any suggestions?
Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Thinking about it, this makes sense.
