specifying that.

OK, ignore that footnote! Presumably I would just let a user *know*
(maybe somehow adding a text message on the menu?) that there were
chapter points in the DVD, and he/she could access them via the
remote, as you say in your last para.

There are several reasons for having chapter points that
are not menu items.

First, "Chapter" points in a DVD are simply navigation
data points. They need not relate to what is going on in
the video, at all. They only relate to chapters of the story
you are telling with your movie, when you use them that
way.

You can have TDA set chapter points for every x# of
seconds, (as you can in many programs including some
capture programs). Then each time the "next" button is
pressed the playback jumps the x# of seconds forward
in the playback. Of course you can add additional ones
to match where you want your menu chapters to be.

You can set chapter points at the start of each scene,
so that the "next" button becomes a "next scene" button.

You can set chapter points that allow you to skip-to or
skip-past certain scenes.

Luck;
