If the movie has an MPEG video track, DVDit Pro HD moves the chapter point to the
nearest GOP boundary. This could be up to nine frames from the specified frame in an
NTSC project or six frames in a PAL project, depending on the GOP size.
Naming chapter points
DVDit Pro HD labels chapter points “Chapter 1,” “Chapter 2,” and so on automatically.
DVDit Pro HD updates the numbering as you add, move, or delete chapter points so that
they are still numbered sequentially. You can rename chapter points to make them easier to
identify.
