Video editor to add chapters via console

[piercedfreak]

I am currently using ffmpeg to convert some video files to play on my ps3, but the video files do not have chapter markers so I can only fast forward, not skip ahead. Is there a simple console application that can add chapter markers every XX minutes?

I use a program called HandBrake to do just this sort of thing. According to the command line guide, using the option

-m

or

--markers

should allow you to set markers. I am more familiar with the GUI version on different systems but this might be the solution for your issue.
