Hi

This is not possible to do using chapters. 

However there may be a way to simulate what you need by splitting the chapters off into individual movies - if there are a lot eg 9 or more this may become a little harder,  try this :-

From an existing project - make a backup of the original project then:

1.   Open the project displaying the timeline.

2.   Press Ctrl + Alt + N to create a new movie in the open project, click Don't close in the dialog that will open - you will now get a blank timeline and another movie tab.

3.   Click the tab containing the original movie to display its timeline and select all the clips in the first chapter and copy them

4. Click the tab of the added movie and paste the copied objects on to the blank timeline.

5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 for each chapter

6. Remove the original movie from the project  File, Manage movies, Remove from project and save the project ( You can also click the X on the tab of the movie you want to remove.)

7. Click on the Burn tab

8. MEP will create a menu with the indivdual movies on it change the menu template if you wish

9. Click each movie button and set the action you want at the end of the movie, in your case Jump to film menu

10.  Save the project and do a trial burn ( I suggest you use rewriteable DVD they save you money) .

If starting from a new project : -

a.   Add the video/images etc to the blank timeline for the relevant topic, save the project

b.   Press Ctrl + Alt + N to create a new movie in the open project, click Don't close in the dialog that will open - you will now get a blank timeline and another movie tab.

c.  Repeat steps a and b as often as required.

d.  Follow steps 7 - 10 above for the menu

Note in steps 2 and b you can also use the New movie button  - you do not get the dialog with this.  In step 6 you can use the Manage movie button - see image.

Happy editing
