so does anyone know why it is so hard to make chapter markers after the "previously on" part that is on all DVD's of TV shows

Heroes season 1 on HD DVD you can watch over 2 min of "previously on" content before the actual episode starts. and worse yet if I press the skip ahead to the next track it goes 6 min into the show after the opening credits

so WTF is it so hard to put a marker at the end of the "previously on" and one at the end of the opening credits so people can skip that crap. it is like that on almost all TV shows on DVD it seems like the only chapter markers are the ones where a commercial would be if it were on TV

I get so pissed that I have to FF through "previously on" and stop at the correct spot then 1-2 min later FF through the opening credits and stop at the correct spot. it is like when I have to FF through commercials on my DVR I always have to go back 30 sec because I went to far

this is just stupid and in some cases like with BSG I have copied the DVD and then added my own markers and reincoded it because I watch it alot with friends

I'm sure there was some study where it was decided that "average users" didn't like having so many chapters. When I put things onto DVD myself I always put a chapter after the recap, and after the opening (and in between if there's new footage before the opening), in addition to where the commercial breaks are.

yea so why not put them in the commercial ver of DVD's

all this makes me do is become a pirate not good

What! What are those "previously on" things even doing in the retail sets? I don't like that one bit.

Often the "previously on" segments are cut into the new footage in such a way that it would be impractical to just cut them out, as they would have to re-cut the beginning of each episode.

I like the "previously on" segments. They give me a chance to go to the b-room or maybe get something to eat real quick without stopping the disc.
