Chapter indexes About chapter indexes A chapter index is a series of linked submenus that contain buttons that link to all the chapters in a timeline or slide show. Many DVDs contain an option for selecting from a list of chapters or scenes. If your video includes more chapters than can fit in a single menu, it can be time-consuming to link all the submenus together. When you use the Create Chapter Index command, you can generate the chapter submenus automatically. For example, if your timeline has 18 chapter points, you can create a menu with six chapter buttons. When you choose Create Chapter Index, Encore generates three submenus, each containing six chapter buttons that link to the appropriate chapter points. Other navigation buttons, such as Next and Previous, are also updated automatically.

chapter index
is a series of linked submenus that contain buttons that link to all the chapters in a timeline or slide
show. Many DVDs contain an option for selecting from a list of chapters or scenes. If your video includes more
chapters than can fit in a single menu, it can be time-consuming to link all the submenus together. When you use
the Create Chapter Index command, you can generate the chapter submenus automatically.
