Back in the day when Apple was interested in DVDs and pioneered the creation of iDVD discs, iMovie was tightly integrated with that program. This allowed you to add chapter markers throughout your project so that your viewers could easily skip to the next scene while watching the film on their widescreen TV. But just because iDVD is on life support and Apple is more interested in online digital distribution doesn’t mean that chapter markers are no longer of any use. Yes, that feature was notoriously absent from the re-imagined iMovie back in 2007, but it made a comeback and it’s better than ever--although you wouldn’t know it by glancing at the interface. Read on to learn about using the hidden marker features in iMovie ’11.

You gave a great how to, but you implied in the article that without iDVD there might not be a need for them any longer and that you would share the reason for still using them. Are there other programs that will recognize the markers or other uses for them?
