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

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.

Dear Video People
How useful do you and your colleagues find the chapter stops / scene
selections that we (and I presume most other distributors) add to the
DVDs that we release? Are they really used?
Curious
Thanks!
