Picture & chapter markers on single wav file
I have a single WAV file that I need chapter markers put in... "audio book" style.
I also would like to have a picture appear on the playback device when someone plays it. It seems strange Protools can't do this within' its software... am I missing something on that? If Protools can't do it, then is there an add-on I can buy, or a completely different software for less than $50 or even freeware that can do it? |

Re: Picture & chapter markers on single wav file
Thank you for the lead, unfortunately it is not possible through Shutter Encoder. ...per their customer support.
I'm still looking if anyone knows of a program that can add chapter markers & a graphic to a WAV file. |

Re: Picture & chapter markers on single wav file
Wave files are audio only. Not sure how any program could add a graphic/picture to a Wave file. Chapter markers, AFAIK, would be in the Wave file's Metadata, if it's possible to do that.

If you give an example of a specific downloaded "audio book" folder with WAV files PLUS .*** files in it, which shows you chapter markers and pictures when you use a specific app to playback the audio, that's some kind of additional format. Not just the WAV files. There might be tricky ways an audiobook program would recognize simple WAV files by filename format, and attach the pictures etc, but I don't think it's through the WAV itself. Also, If a program IS attaching non-specified metadata to WAV, it might not work in every app. I recently saw an example on the forum of non-spec iXML metadata chunks causing WAVs not to import properly.

So the graphic seems to be out for a WAV file. I still wonder if "Chapter Markers" are possible. My client doesn't want to break up a 3 hour audio into individual files, but he wants chapter markers. It's not even an audio book. It's a lecture, and I can imagine distributing it as a WAV file isn't the norm, so I don't know how to test it. Any hope for Chapter Markers being able to be inserted into a WAV file? |

Everything you are asking for is usually done in the delivery/playback system. Like YouTube (or Vimeo or Soundcloud or whatever) has chapter markers. You can use a CD maker (like Wavelab) to make a CD and put "chapter markers" which are actually just track markers. If you import a CD image with markers, it will split at those markers into individual tracks. The idea there was possible continuous play but also jumping to "chapters". Some players can read a CD image direct and keep that information (like foobar2000 or vlc). But all that information is stored in the container and not in the wav file. You are your client are looking in the wrong place to do this. Figure out the distribution medium and you'll find the place for the solution.

Also, gotta be some Facebook groups for this kind of authoring. But if you're looking to just post this sort of thing in some more-or-less universally readable format, then posting it on a web page as separate MP3/AAC chunks is probably the best way to go. Alternately, post it on YouTube which does have infrastructure for "index/chapter" markers - that's about as close to a 'universal' format as you're gonna get.
