I have a QuickTime movie (DV codec) containing chapters - if I open them in QuickTime player or other media players I am able to view the chapters and easily skip through the movie to various points in time. Curious if anyone can point me in the right direction of passing through this chapter info when encoding the movie to another format (ProRes 422). I've found the Chapters section and it's loaded them all in correctly, however they don't seem to be included when I run the encode job. I've also tried the button "Queue Chapters" but this queues each chapter as an individual encode (file) instead of simply including the chapter info in the metadata like it was previously.

Normally the chapters should be passed through when they are shown in the chapter-tab.
-> Please create a proper report with a debug output so I have enough info to look into it after work.
Thanks!

Hello Selur and thanks for reaching out!
I followed the directions for enabling Debug output, ran through everything I did before and have posted the Debug output zip here as requested.
Summary:
• Input file is a QuickTime movie with DV codec and contains chapters (these are based on camera start/stop times from the DV stream).
• Encoding to ProRes 422 and .mov container with audio set to Passthrough All.
• Running de-interlace via QTGMC > Placebo with Bob to convert 29.97 to 59.94
• Chapters appear correctly within the Chapters section.
Please let me know if you need any additional details and thank you for your support!

Thought it was a bug, but it's a missing feature.
Hybrid doesn't add chapters to mov files atm. since I never needed it.
