Chapter track - How to change text to Tx3g Format

[Filipe Mello]

Hi!

Im trying to change my chapter track to tx3g format. Actually its text format. How can I do this? Thank you!

[Damiano Galassi]

You can't. Why do you want to do that?

[Filipe Mello]

I`m trying to solve a problem with chapter markers in m4v files. I do the editing process with Final Cut Pro X and the encoding with Compressor 4.1.3, but after the compression, sometimes the chapter markers come corrupted, with the names, or thumbnail. Last week a friend told me to try uncheck the multi pass option and export again from Compressor. Originally, the text track is .tx3g, but after processing in Subler, become text format...

I don't no, but sometimes we have incompatibility with Internet Explorer (I know, is a trash...) but some users like IE when access our site for watching videos...

I love Subler... thank-you very much for all your hard work!

I've just bought an Apple TV 4. It seems chapters will not appear in the movie menu (swipe down) unless they are in the tx3g format.

Is it possible to add this feature?

This version writes a tx3g track, see if it does change something: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o4sg150kydguiqx/Subler-Test.zip?dl=0

Thank-you!

I discovered that movies which don't display chapters have an "unknown" language. Choose a language and they reappear.

[Damiano Galassi]

So does it work even with a text track if you set the language?

[Damiano Galassi]

And even Final Cut X uses a text track. I am changing it back.

Please update link for Subler with tx3g chapters support. Thanks.

[Damiano Galassi]

What's the reason you want tx3g chapters for?

[Victor Lososev]

I have some old movies with tx3g chapters and i want keep it(tx3g chapters).

[Damiano Galassi]

Subler doesn't modify the chapters if you are only editing the file metadata (or other tracks). Anyway, the difference between tx3g and text tracks is primarily only in the name. The format is almost the same.
