About Chapters
RoadMovie provides an easy way to index your video with chapters, this is done by adding a chapter track.
A chapter track is a type of text track that provides an index to chapters or sections of your movie. The list of chapters, each of which links to a part of the movie, appears as a title or a pop-up menu in the movie controller.

▪ Any movie of significant length whose content can be divided into definite sections
