Hi Jonathan, I personally find chapter stops/scene selections to be highly useful for film criticism and film studies, as they make it much easier to navigate directly to the scene I'm interested in writing about. My notes always include both a timestamp and a chapter notation when one is available, and it's frustrating to work with a DVD which does not include chapter stops/scene selections.

Are they really used? Curious Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
