[MacDV] Re: iMovie 3: Hurray!

[Mark M. Florida]

Typically, chapters let you skip to a certain part of a movie or video, 
while letting you watch the whole thing from the beginning if you so 
choose -- hopefully this is how Apple has implemented it in iDVD 3 
(that's what I asked for on their "feedback" form anyway).

Comparing it to an audio CD, think of a continuous live recording with 
track numbers that let you go to a specific song -- you can listen to 
the whole performance if you want to (without breaks), or you can skip 
to your favorite song by going to that track number.  This is how 
chapters on DVDs are *supposed* to work -- not the hacked-up way iDVD 1 
and 2 handle things (bringing you back to a friggin' menu after each 
clip is played).
