Is there an easy way to add chapters to existing movie files?

Note:

  • Actually, I’m not 100% sure if they’re called “chapters” in video files, but it’s the same concept as DVDs.

  • I assume this differs with the video encoding, but any help at all is progress! I have video files in various formats (although .mov, .mp4, and .m4v are my most common).

  • I’m on Mac OS X, but I posted here (instead of the Apple Q&A) because I figured any answers may be useful to other non-Apple power users.

  • Apple-native, application-based solutions preferred (usability is top of my list). However, command-line programs and utilities that do the job are just as welcome.

  • Please share any indirect-but-related wisdom you may have on this topic.

Thanks!

Are these movies you created yourself? Or did you obtain them from "other" sources?

If they are movies you created yourself you can use iMovie or QuickTime.

If not, I recommend using handbrake for transcoding into a single video format then using MetaX to add metadata (including chapters).
