I imported video from my 8mm camera and added chapter markers/names (found that iMovie no longer offers this option but used an app (Chapter Marker) to do so and they successfully appear when viewing the movie on my computer with QuickTime. But when I burn the movie to a dvd the chapters do not appear. Is there a way to do this (without spending hundreds of dollars on Final Cut Pro?).
See Bengt Wärleby's post in these two topics:
Both posts are very similar.
If you're still unable to get the chapter markers to appear try downloading and using the modified iMovie HD 6.5.1 from this site: http://www.blip3.com/home.html. The download button is here:
It's been hacked to work with the latest systems, i.e. Sierra. I've used it and it works beautifully. Once you get the chapter markers located in the project just save the project and add the iMovie project file to the iDVD menu by dragging from the Desktop.
Note: as mentioned by Bengt Wärleby no markers at the very beginning or end of the movie or within 2 seconds of any transition. Also if you've edited the movie since adding to the project start over with a new iDVD project.
This is how it works:
Control (right) - click on the screenshot in my previous post and select Open Link in New Window
to see the animated gif of the import process.
I can confirm the above. I am using iMovie HD 6.5.1 with Sierra. A couple of mouse clicks and I have chapters that are recognized by iDVD..
