m4baker relies on these programs. mp4chaps is used to add the chapter markers to the m4b file and mp4tags is needed for tags and cover picture. Without these programs m4baker is rather useless. For...

@ besnef: thanks for your help. The next release of m4baker will use mp4art instead of mp4tags which should fix this bug.

Thats good to know. Currently m4baker uses "mp4tags -P cover.png" to add the cover.

Could you check if manually adding the cover using mp4tags fails on your audiobook file?

Please tell me if m4baker causes the error so i can fix it.
