MovieChapterizer

MovieChapterizer provides an easy way to add chapter names into various media filesthat can be played with QuickTime Player. A rarely-used feature of QuickTime Player isthat of a movie containing what is known as a chapter track. QuickTime Player will dis-play a popup menu to the right of the playhead slider showing the list of chapter namesfor the movie. Selecting a chapter from the list causes the playhead to jump to the pointin the movie identified by the chapter.

MovieChapterizer 2.4 runs on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and MovieChapterizer 2.5 runs onMac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). When you download MovieChapterizer fromhttp://www.js8media.com you get a single dmg file containing versions for both Tigerand Leopard.

MovieChapterizer is an easy to use application that allows you to open a movie that canbe played in QuickTime, and add chapters to it. By simply moving the playhead to a

point in the movie of interest you can then add a chapter name. Do this repeatedly untilyou have all the chapters you want and then simply save the file. Then open the file inQuickTime Player and the chapters are immediately available to you.

Instead of jumping around and scanning for the exact part of the movie youre interestedin just select the chapter from the popup menu and go straight there.

MovieChapterizer works both for various video and sound files, including QuickTimefiles (mov), H.264 (high definition), AVI, DV, MP3 , AIFF and WAV.

All the features of MovieChapterizer can be used in the free version. A small number of

chapters can be added. If you want to avoid this limit and add up to 100 chapters for afile you can simply purchase a license by visiting the product store site at:
