Faculty frequently make use of chapters and time codes to queue up a particular
segment. Especially for films that have to be split over 2 class periods.
To be blunt, if I know that a distributor doesn't include the chapter breaks,
I'm less likely to order that DVD.

release? Are they really used?
Curious
Thanks!

Seconding Andy's comments. Chapter stops are important, and it's a big
inconvenience for us and our patrons when they are absent.
Best,
