.000 is a placeholder for the exact time.

This was prepared for the FAQ, but by early 2010 that still did not show this type of layout clearly. More to the point, since 2008 the amount of vandalism of FAQ, typically deletes, has increased too much.

The Ogg version is for if there are players that can work from an external Ogg chapters file.

This presumably refers to the R2 DVD. The R1 runs for 112 minutes total, meaning all your timings would be slightly out for that.

Thanks for your data.

Yes, my disk is region 2.

Timings being out, I am finding that to be fairly typical. If my disk had been region 1 then the timings still would not have been perfect, but if someone actually has a love for any particalar feature then hopefully such as this has potential for being a useful start?
