+ Reading chapters from DVDs
+
+
+ When MKVToolNix is compiled with the libdvdread library, &mkvmerge; can read chapters from DVDs. For that you
+ can use the path to one of the folders or files on the DVD with the --chapters parameter. As DVDs can contain
+ more than one title and each title has its own set of chapters, you can append a colon and the desired title number to the end of the
+ file name argument. The title number defaults to 1.

+ Example: --chapters /srv/dvds/BigBuckBunny/VIDEO_TS:2
