Sorry if I was unclear in my original post; I am NOT having difficulty
setting the chapter markers either in iMovie or iDVD, they are working fine.
I am having difficulty setting the "label" (to use your terminology) video
within the button. I am simply trying to scoot the video image up a few
seconds so that a viewer looking at the scene selection button will see a
better representation of the video chapter rather than the initial first 30
seconds (or whatever duration I have set).

According to the iDVD help I should be able to set the start of the video
button/scene selector/label.
