No. There is no place for chapter markers on a DV tape. DUH!
You would be bettter off rendering your movie with the markers.
  and saving the rendered movie to a DVD as a data disc.
A drag and drop operation. Not a playable disc. But when you drag it 
back out
and shove it into iDVD it would all be there.
