Hello: I am using Power Director 16 to edit and produce videos from home movies etc. When editing the movie I perform the Insert a chapter at the start of each clip on the first video track and the chapter flags apear in the proper place and the video timeline performs as expected. When I am done editing I Produce the project into a MKV Video file 720p with surround sound. Everything is good except for the chapters are not present, playing the video and looking at the video properties confirms this. This happens everytime and has been the same on previous versions of Power Director. Everything else is good, Video, Audio, Subtitles just no chapters, I know MKV supports chapters so am I missing something? Is the MKV format in Power Director 16 a lesser type? If anyone has a solution of fix please let me know.
Thank you. Thank You, Michael

As far as I know, Chapters are only present in the final output if you create a Disc. Chapters are not kept in the Produce module not even MKV format. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.
