Another shortcoming is that \fBmkvmerge\fR will silently discards chapters
found in source files - e.g. when reading them from an OGM file or another
Matroska file. You can use \fBmkvextract\fR to export chapters from another
Matroska file and use the result with \fBmkvmerge\fR.
\fBmkvmerge\fR is able to copy chapters from Matroska source files unless this
is explicitely disabled with the \fI\-\-no\-chapters\fR option. At the
moment \fBmkvmerge\fR is limited to one 'buch of chapters' globally. This means
that only the first chapter section found in all source files is used. If
the user specified chapters on the command line then these take precedence
over any chapters found in source files. \fBmkvmerge\fR does not merge
chapters. This must be done manually by using \fBmkvextract\fR to extract
the chapter information and editing the resulting files.
.LP
One shortcoming is that \fBmkvmerge\fR cannot parse chapter information found
in OGM files.
