Yes. 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.

Are they really used? Curious Thanks!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
