RoadMovie provides an easy way to index your movie 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.
What kinds of QuickTime movies benefit from a chapter track?
▪ Compilations of movies, such as a film festival program

▪ Recorded news events
▪ Educational movies

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