This dialogue allows you the manager the changes for a particular video played on a DVD video. Chapters are navigated to using the next button >>| on the DVD remote control.

Each chapter has a time in the format HH:MM:SS:FF, or Hours, Minutes, Seconds, and Frames. If you have selected to create a PAL DVD then there are 25 frames each second. For NTSC there are 29.97 frames per second. PAL/NTSC is selected using the 'Encoder Settings' button on the main window.

A chapter has limits as to where it may be placed, so Express Burn will always place chapters are the nearest valid point on the disc after the time you select. Please note this relocation is done at the time the disc is burned as is not done here in this dialogue

You can click on the timeline to preview the movie and find the locations for the chapters. You can then add a chapter using the Add button or by right clicking and selecting 'Add Chapter'.

You may play the current video using the play button and stop using the stop button. The other controls allow you to go to the start or end of the video.
