Cue format

Post by keezpipslab »

Hi,

Does anybody know the times of the .cue files work ?
I placed 2 markers of 999 milliseconds and 1 second, and it gives me these values in the .cue textfile:

Code: Select all

 TRACK 03 AUDIO
    TITLE "999"
    INDEX 01 00:00:74
    REM OFFSET 12.811791
    REM COLOR black
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    TITLE "1000"
    INDEX 01 00:01:00
    REM COLOR black
I can figure out how to calculate the milliseconds from this data.

Thanks,
Keez

Hi, please see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)

The format for "INDEX" is mm:ss:ff where ff are "frames",
defined as 75 frames in a second. the "OFFSET" is an
additional offset in milliseconds. The lines starting with "REM"
are Amadeus-specific and will probably not be interpreted
by third-party software. In your example, the first marker is
at 74 frames + 12.8 milliseconds, which is indeed

1000*74/75 + 12.8 = 999.5 milliseconds

Regards,

Martin
