Those are the chapters stored, not sure if the timestamps are ok, they were taken from the site. http://cre.fm/cre197

Some additional info:

http://www.id3.org/id3v2-chapters-1.0 http://id3v2-chap-tool.sourceforge.net/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/id3v2-chap-tool/)

In this specific file the chapter starts at offset 0x00000150, maybe a little bit earlier, but here you can see the strings stored.

It would be awesome to display these chapters within VLC, as it is possible with a huge number of other formats.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
