Hi there,

Is there any sample code or articles about how to add
chapter marks that will be shown on ipod using the quicktime api?

Hello,

A quick search of the list archives will show that it is not currently possible to save chapter marks to m4a/b files via the QuickTime API. You cannot edit m4a files with the API, and if you create .mov and try exporting to .m4a, you will lose all chapter, text and metadata. Instead, you have to add them using file manipulation techniques at the byte level using the MPEG-4 file specification (similar to the .mov format).

If this is beyond the scope of what you want to do, consider licensing my framework which provides a very simple Cocoa interface for doing this...

hope that helps,
