If you only have the file loaded, the Chapter button is greyed. Once you go into the Edit menu and select any point beyond the start of the file, the Chapter button is there. Think about it, if you only want to play the full file a Chapter is not necessary it is only required if you want to break that file into chapters. You can't start a Chapter at the beginning of a file.

Download and read the manual.......

This may sound silly , but why do you encode to MPEG4
when you are trying to make a DVD. ?

Hi,

after you import the file, you have to drag it into the menu below(play first , or new movie)

then doubleclick on it to see a preview use the slider to a piont where you want to make a chapter, right button ,and create a chapter.
