Insert Chapters in Video File (NOT in DVD *.vob files)

[alienvi]

How to insert chapters in video files (not in DVD *.vob files)? But files like .avi, .mp4, .wav etc

1. Basically which format of video files support inserting chapters?

2. What is the best software to use for inserting chapters?

3. Which is the best player software to use (both in PC, android, iphone)

4. For non-supporting files types (for inserting chapters), which is the best format to convert?

Thank you.

1) Heres a starting link for you

I simply googled "which video formats support chapters"

I decided not to lmgtfy on you

2) I would say that mkv (Matroska) is the most common format for people who want chapters.

I would look at tools like Handbrake or AutoMKV

Handbrake: http://handbrake.fr/

AutoMKV: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/AutoMKV

And i would also look around videohelp.com or avforums.com for tutorials

Anyways heres a tutorial for doing DVD to MKV with chapters:

3) Best player? Subjective really. MPC or VLC for Windows. Android or iPhone i wouldnt know, dont use either of them.

4) MKV is my vote
