iDVD needs a muxed video file.
To get chapters, bring your file into Compressor and set the markers in the Preview window,
Don't change the settings of your source file.
Submit and take the output file and bring it into iDVD.
Good luck.

So I just made all my chapters in my video and when I go to submit, I get the message "One or more jobs have no Targets". Then I try to pick a target and none of the options are highlighted until I drag in a setting. Which setting should I choose or am I missing a step earlier in the process?
Open the settings window. Hit the plus sign and click on Quick Time.
Open the Inspector and in the Encoder pane click on video settings, From the drop down menu choose the codec of your source file. (im my example it happens to be Pro Res.) Leave fame rate current and other settings automatic.
This will be a custom preset; name it and save. Then drag it to batch window and set a destination to create a target. Drag your source file (the wedding) to the source file well.
Hit submit. Bring that file into iDVD.
Good luck.
