Introduction
This article explains how to add chapter marks to major audio file formats using FFmpeg with the -map_chapters option. However, it's important to note that FFmpeg tends to mangle metadata.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, ensure you have FFmpeg installed on your system.
Using FFmpeg with -map_chapters option
To add chapter marks using FFmpeg, you can use the following command:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -map_chapters chapter_file.txt output.mp4
Common Issues
The tags command doesn't recognize some metadata formats. To work around this, you can convert your audio file to a format that FFmpeg can handle, such as MP4 or MKV, and then add the chapter marks.
Adding chapter marks to major audio file formats can be a useful feature for organizing long files. However, it's important to note that FFmpeg tends to mangle metadata, so be sure to back up your original files before proceeding.
