You can extract chapters from mkv: $ mkvextract chapters -s sample.mkv > sample_chapters.txt or: $ mkvextract chapters sample.mkv > sample_chapters.xml xml format supports translations and some advanced features like editions and external chapters. http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/4501

You can extract chapters from DVD with dvdxchap (ogmtools package).

P.S. Most of well-done dvd and bd rips keep chapters.

Thanks! I'll look into that asap.

I had a look into this and problem is that there no support for this in gstreamer yet. Looks like people are working on this, but this feature is not yet available.

I have to postpone the fixing of this bug. Sorry see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540890 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481070
