OGG chapters support ! (great for Vorbis CD images)

[forart.it]

Well, we're (always) trying to optimize our "rip for sharing" (here in Italy it's now legal to share "degraded or low resolution" music for "scientific or educational use, and only when such use is not for profit") file images (1 audio file per disc). Here's the encoding pipeline:

Code: Select all

flac -d CDImage.flac -o - | stc - - c:\mono.sts | oggenc2 -q 0 --resample 32000 --downmix -o CDImage.ogg -

The problem is to put "anything" into the OGG container: no problem for audio, of course, and we also found the solution for the cover art (AudioShell) but not for songs starting points (the CUE timing descriptions). So we thinked about OGG chapters (usually used for a/v rips) that can be used for this purpose.
BTW i noticed that almost any media just ignore them...

Here's the questions:
1. do you think it's a good idea to use chapters ? do you know any alternative ?
2. do you plan to support them into VLC in the future ?
3. do you know any tool that converts CUE into OGG chapters ? (the contrary of Chap2Cue, essentially) ?

Thanks in advice !

Use Mkv audio (.mka) with chapters.

Unfortunally MKV isn't supported by getID3()...

That's strange since the page you linked says it is! Maybe you post on their forum and explain the problem.
