Video archive format with (thumbnail) chapter menu support?

[helloguys]

I know it's been an old topic. I also did some research with Google but was not able to find the answer.

I have a HD camcorder (Canon HF R52) which I use to take home videos (birthday parties, kids soccer games, etc.). In the past, I use VideoStudio to burn DVD discs. The video quality is less than "High Definition" but acceptable for me. What I like most is the (thumbmail) chapter menus, which allow us to choose which particular scene to watch.

The only problem is - I can't fit much video into a DVD disc (even a Double-Layer disc). Now I'm ending up with more and more discs.

What I'm thinking is to start using the Blu-Ray disc (BD). 25GB BD disc is as cheap as $0.30 a piece now. But my goal is not High-Definition, nor the "cool features" of Blu-Ray. I just need the extra capacity of BD. If there's a DVD disc that supports 25GB, I'm happy with it. Obviously I can't store DVD videos on a BD disc. If I store Blu-Ray videos it defeats the purpose of "storing more video in a single disc".

I thought about using HDD (Hard Drive) as storage media. But not sure how I can mimic the DVD (thumbnail) chapter menu with HDD.

I'm using a media PC instead of a dedicated DVD/BD player. What is the best way to store large amount of video with menu function? Video quality is NOT a major concern. Of course I won't reject high quality video if it has high efficient compression ratio (such as H.265).

Or maybe I just need a video management system? Something that allows me to build a play list with thumbnails so I can choose a particular scene (e.g. "2015 Disney Trip") from thousands of video files?

Thank you!
