no, unless you burn to the hard drive. burning to disc then finalizing will
give you automatic chapters stops every 5 minutes, unless you dont finalize
the disc then you can add the chapters manually. |

Things like chapter divisions will not transfer over A/V cables,
S/Video, or component video.
With my E85, I record to hard disk (a lot of this is transferring
old VHS recordings from a VCR). If it's one tape with a bunch of
shows on it, I hit RECORD on the recorder, PLAY on the VCR, then
go to sleep or work and come back when the tape has finished in 6
hours. Then divide the recording into titles, set titles, divide
up the chapters, chop out the useless junk and leading and trailing
stuff, and set thumbnails. Then I do a high-speed copy to DVD-R
or DVD-RAM. The high-speed copy preserves the chapter divisions,
titles, etc. the way I set them up. Note that there's an option
you have to set to do high-speed copies to DVD-R *BEFORE YOU RECORD
TO HARD DISK* the stuff you intend putting on DVD-R.
I note that I *CANNOT* do a high-speed transfer from DVD-R back to
the hard disk, so you can't "back up" things like chapter divisions
on DVD-R for later re-editing (although you can do this with DVD-RAM).
The chapter divisions are there the way I wanted them when played
on a regular DVD player, or for playing on the Panasonic.
I have had occasional trouble with this procedure where the Panasonic
thinks static or a very weak signal is copy-protected. Chances are
I would have cut that part out anyway, as it's unwatchable, but it
marks the whole thing copy-protected so I have to re-transfer it
and make sure I am there to stop the transfer at 2 hours and 37
minutes or whatever when it gets to the very weak signal part that
it thinks is copy-protected.

Well, the speed isn't what I'm worried about, it's the accurate
copying of title text and chapter divisions and no re-encoding
that's more important to me than the "high-speed" part.
It takes about 15 minutes to burn a 4.7G DVD-R filled with almost
4 hours of video recorded at "LP" quality. (Quality settings let
you put nominally 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours on one DVD-R. I found the
8-hour setting to be annoying, even given the original is VHS
recorded at SLP from an antenna. The 4-hour setting seems about
right. Not much noticible difference quality (if VHS can be said
to even have quality) and a reasonable amount on a disk.) I'd
expect that to be about 15 minutes for a 4.7G DVD-R of any quality
whatever if you come close to filling the disk, as it's not doing
any format conversion - just the amount of data counts.
