Director works with chapter tracks using cuePoint statements. Director automatically reads the text track of the movie whether it's set to be chapters or not, and then allows you to navigate the chapters based on the cuePoints. iShell automatically shows chapter tracks as parameters in it's UI.
The cool thing about Chapter Tracks and cuePoints is that you can write scripts that are universal to any movie, allowing you to navigate forward and backwards and even stop without knowing exact times. Very handy and reusable. And way better than trying to read the text file into an array.... and then use them.
I'm new to Rev so i don't know much about callBacks... is there a good resource for this? do you think callbacks can be used in a similar manner????
any help would be great

How do I navigate Quicktime Chapter tracks with Revolution.
Is there a native way of navigating Quicktime Chapter Tracks with revolution? or cuePoints? AppleScript, QTscript, Director, iShell, and others all have way to navigate Chapter Tracks. I'm looking at Revolution as a cross-platform solution for current and future projects that relies on the ability to navigate Chapter Tracks.....
Chapter tracks and cuePoits are very different things. Revolution supports
a wide variety of QT notifications, messages, and structures, so while it
doesn't currently support chapter tracks if going as far away from that as
cuePoints would work for you then maybe going just a little farther to Rev's
support for callbacks will provide what you need.
Thinking this might make a good feature suggestion to submit, I was hoping
to find the documentation for Director and iShell with regard to chapter
track support to serve as a guide, but alas came up empty. Where should I
look for that in those products?
