Making movies with chapters

[dw1]

hi i'm using SVCD2DVD to convert several avi files. I'd like to split the movie into chapters for ease of reference - jumping to particular scenes. Can i do this using svcdd2dvd?
all help appreciated.
cheers

Chapters are simply marker points in a single title. The video is not split at these points, and doing so can affect playback by causing gaps.

thanks gunlinger! I didn't explain myself very well, i don't actually want to split the video up, but in fact to put markers at particular points. how do i put these markers into a video file?
cheers

It is generally done during the authoring stage, however very few all-in-one converters of anything other than either no chapters, x number of chapters, or chapters every x minutes. If you want to chose exactly where your chapters will go you will have to use a more manual authoring tool instead.

It may be possible to put chapter points in after the fact using tools like VOBBlanker and PGCEdit, but it will be a lot more work.
