Re: [Videolib] Question about Scene Selections etc
Yes. Faculty frequently make use of chapters and time codes to queue up a particular segment. Especially for films that have to be split over 2 class periods. To be blunt, if I know that a distributor doesn't include the chapter breaks, I'm less likely to order that DVD.

Seconding Andy's comments. Chapter stops are important, and it's a big inconvenience for us and our patrons when they are absent. Best, -- Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.
