Vegas markers to mkv chapters?
 
I have decided to to encode my home videos to avc and mux them into mkv files to play on our pc's instead of making DVD's and Blu rays. I have had great results with the Sony AVC renderer. I would like to include chapters for easy scene finding, is the any way to convert the markers to a mkv xml chapter file?

Depends on what the MKV XML file looks like. You might be able to write a script that would export the markers to the XML file.

The format is very simple it can be a simple txt as follows.

CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000
CHAPTER01NAME=Chapter 01
CHAPTER02=00:05:00.000
CHAPTER02NAME=Chapter 02
CHAPTER03=00:10:00.000
CHAPTER03NAME=Chapter 03
CHAPTER04=00:15:00.000
CHAPTER04NAME=Chapter 04
CHAPTER05=00:20:00.000
CHAPTER05NAME=Chapter 05

Here's the basics for doing this (this is from a .js script - slight changes are necessary for a .cs script):

Code:
import System;
import System.IO;
import System.Windows.Forms;
import Sony.Vegas;


try {
  var markers = Vegas.Project.Markers;
  for (var i=0; i < Vegas.Project.Markers.Count; i++)
  {


  //Open the output file here and then output the necessary info
  //Output info for markers[i]
  //Position timecode would be: markers[i].Position
  //If you want to use the label as the chapter name, it is: markers[i].Label





  }

} catch (e) {
    MessageBox.Show(e);
}

Sony Creative Software - Vegas video - ACID & Sound Forge audio editing - it has an sdk for scripting

Also, a forum devoted to scripting.

Edward Troxel is rather accomplished with scripting, there's a forum at his site, link in his signature above.

Open up your favorite scripts in a text editor...
