Chap 'n' Clips

Make your clips chap-friendly! 🎬

Don't let your memories and collections get lost in a mess of files.

You’ve done the hard work of backing up your media to save it forever—whether it’s gameplay highlights, precious family albums, hobby collections, reference footage, or archiving DVD/BD content before the discs degrade.

But now you face a new problem:

• "I want to merge these split files into one neat video, but I can't find a tool that keeps the chapter points!"
• "When I tried merging them with other software, all my chapter info disappeared!"
• "I wish I could easily edit the chapter names to organize them better..."

Chap 'n' Clips is the answer you've been looking for. It is a specialized tool designed to merge your video files while preserving, editing, and organizing chapter information seamlessly.

🎯 Perfect for...

• 🎮 Gamers: Combine split recording sessions into one longplay video while keeping stage/match markers.
• 📼 Archivists: Merge backed-up DVD/BD chapter files into a single MKV/MP4 without losing the original scene jumps.
• 👶 Family Archives: Stitch together short clips of your children or pets into a yearly album with proper event titles.
• 📚 Collectors: Organize reference materials and hobby footage into a single, easy-to-navigate file.

✨ Key Features
