Checking for iDVD chapters using QuickTime Player
iDVD lets you import a movie from Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express with chapter markers. The result of this is that a Scene Selection menu is created in iDVD so that you can select a chapter and jump directly to it.
Products Affected
Final Cut Express, iDVD, Final Cut Pro
If you've exported a movie with chapter markers from Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express, but don't see any chapters (or a Scene Selection menu) in iDVD, you can check the file you exported in QuickTime Player. To see if the movie has any chapter markers, open it in QuickTime Player and look in the lower right corner, as seen here.
You should see a small pop-up menu showing the chapter names. If you don't see the chapter names here, iDVD won't be able to make chapters.
