#7169 open defect

First chapter of MP4 is always at 0.0

Version: unspecified Keywords: mov

Analyzed by developer: no

Description

Summary of the bug: MP4 files produced on ffmpeg with chapter marks being applied using ffmetadata always have the first chapter at 0.0

How to reproduce:

Test movie file:
​https://archive.org/download/mov-bbb/mov_bbb.mp4

Chapters information (chapters.txt):

;FFMETADATA1

[CHAPTER]
START=2153000000
END=3100000000
title=First chapter should start at 2 sec

[CHAPTER]
START=3100000000
END=5550000000
title=Second chapter

[CHAPTER]
START=5550000000
END=8653600000
title=Final chapter

Applying chapters

ffmpeg -i mov_bbb.mp4 -i chapters.txt -map_chapters 1 -c:a copy -c:v copy mov_bbb_with_chapters.mp4

or even specifying Apple text

ffmpeg -i mov_bbb.mp4 -i chapters.txt -map_chapters 1 -c:a copy -c:v copy -c:s mov_text mov_bbb_with_chapters.mp4

returns this output, confirming it is understanding the first chapter as 2sec:

...
Chapter #0:0: start 2.153000, end 3.100000
    Metadata:
      title           : First chapter should start at 2 sec
...

but running ffprobe -show_chapters:

ffprobe -show_chapters mov_bbb_with_chapters.mp4

confirms that in some way ffmpeg is setting the first chapter as 0.0:

...
Chapter #0:0: start 0.000000, end 3.100000
    Metadata:
      title           : First chapter should start at 2 sec
...
[CHAPTER]
id=0
time_base=1/1000
start=0
start_time=0.000000
end=3100
end_time=3.100000
TAG:title=First chapter should start at 2 sec
[/CHAPTER]
...

VLC reads the correct information (it shows the first chapter correctly). Other players like MPV, MPC, QT, reads it as 0.0.

Summary: First chapter of MP4 is always 0 → First chapter of MP4 is always at 0.0

comment:2 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 8 years ago

Component: ffmpeg → undetermined
Keywords: mov added; chapters removed
Version: 3.4 → unspecified

Please confirm that the issue is reproducible with current FFmpeg git head (nothing else is supported here) and provide the command line that allows to reproduce the issue together with the complete, uncut console output.

Where did you get this binary? I thought tessus builds are for OS X...

Replying to cehoyos:

Where did you get this binary? I thought tessus builds are for OS X...

You are correct, I mistakenly used the option extra-version tessus. I build it on Ubuntu 18.04, the first time using github and the following using git.ffmpeg.org. I will build it again, but in any case, does the OS matter on this issue?

Of course not, I was just curious.

This is indeed a cosmetic issue, as VLC reads second chapter after 2 second, not from the start.
