<br></blockquote></div><br>Well I don't really want chapter markers a frame ro two apart, I was just trying to think of a marking system that wouldn't need anything new added to the underlying system that could be picked up by mytharchive. I figured if you cut a single frame during a scene change (normal place for a chapter on a DVD), it wouldn't affect the final product too much.
