wow very impressive, I have 148 a lot in HD now too, how did you do the scrollng screen capture?
Want to do any film swops?
Where are you getting movie cover artwork from? It looks much cleaner than most of the Googled images/posters I'm able to find...
Then I would have to recommend these for Kill Bill as they are a closer match:
By the way, if you add Jackie Brown, you would have the complete Tarantino collection.
I know this was posted quite a while but I have tried to use MetaX to rename my video chapters and it just removes all traces of chapters and then i have to rerip because all chapters have gone.
Does anyone else have any advice or has anyone achieved this with different software?
Thanks
MetaX no longer works with chapters
In MP4s the chapters are encoded either as a text track with the chapter times/frame numbers and the text (QuictTime chapters). This text track is associated with at most one of the other tracks. Or as atoms (Nero chapter format)
Both HandBrake and MetaX support QT chapters only (for now).
HandBrake used to associate the chapters with the first audio track, however this was problematic when using multiple audio tracks (chapters would disappear when not listening to the first audio track), AAC/AC3 included, and also was a problem because HandBrake can encode with no audio at all.
MetaX assumes that the chapters are associated with this first audio track, and so everything worked smoothly.
HandBrake changed the chapter track to be associated with the video track instead, since that provided a more consistent approach, you are always watching the same video track.
MetaX has not been updated to change to use the first video track for the references. So although it reads the chapters OK, when it writes them back out it gets confused and doesn't write out the chapter text track at all, so the chapters are forever lost.
Rod (MetaX) has been informed of the issue on many occasions over many months, one can only assume that he's stopped maintaining MetaX and has moved on to other stuff.
In the meantime there are other tools becoming available for editing chapters, and you can always add them up front using HandBrake.
Cheers, Ed.

I didn't realize that until just now. After I read this I loaded up a couple TV shows and movies I'd recently tagged, and all are gone. I'm furious. It'll take forever to re-rip them.
Thanks for letting me know
I will use handbrake to label them and see how it goes. It is only really the music concerts I want to have the chapters labelled because each chapter is a song. So it would be nice to be able to pick a song from the list.
MetaX released a new version this morning that supposedly fixes the compatibility issues with Handbrake.
Thanks for the update. Just fired up Meta X and it asked if I wanted to install the new update.
I haven't tried it yet thou.
I tried and it works great. Just a little upset it happened right after I encoded 5 seasons of "La Femme Nikita" including chapter titles. Now I have to go back and rerip them all. :-(
I was lucky--I was literally five movies into encoding the other half of my 600 DVD collection when it was updated. After typing in all the chapters on those first five DVDs, I was really dreading doing it on the next 295.
Doing it in Handbrake is a pain. I much prefer to just queue up a few movies and let them go, then tag in MetaX later. I usually don't even use the auto search function to pull the titles for me.
I'm a little reluctant on using the new MetaX because of this one question.
Does editing chapter titles in MetaX result in the timing of chapter start/end points being off, or does it simply just rename the chapter marker, without changing the start/end time of the chapter.
For some reason, I was under the impression that using MetaX could result in your chapter markers ending/starting a couple of seconds too early/late.
