I had the same problem except I got NO chapters OR subtitles. I found that if you re-encode the video file only with TMPGEnc then all will fall into place.

the problem can be solved this way:

use CCE manually(Robshot method) and save the project (*.ecl) and shutdown CCE... then use ChapterXtractor and and load the main movie IFO, then go to the Format tab and define a new format:

Presets -> CCE
Format: -> chapter=%f:

leave others blank!
You then should have something like this:

chapter=0:
chapter=19035:
chapter=28224:
chapter=48132:
chapter=62046:
chapter=74529:
chapter=94153:
chapter=102532:
chapter=122404:
chapter=139381:
chapter=155191:
chapter=165919:
chapter=184153:

now copy this and open with notepad that CCE Project file *.ecl and paste those chapter's end of that file and Save...

Now open CCE again and open that *.ecl file and Encode... after this you should NOT have ANY problems with chapters or subtitles with DVDmaestro...
