“I have a lot of home movies on VHS tapes and want to convert them to DVDs. Can I insert chapters in the DVD so I don't have to run through the whole DVD to find a particular event? I'd like to be able to use the search function on the DVD.”

Yes, depending on your software. I use Pinnacle 12, and I can set the chapters manually ( for example 10 min) OR I can set it where it detects scenes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think you'd need to break up the continuous video into different parts and save them individually. I guess a good analogy would be how they make live music CD's.. it's all one continuous concert they recorded but they separate each song from the next and give it a track on the CD. You'd need to capture your tape in pieces by watching it while it's being captured and then stopping it at each point where you'd want the next DVD track to start.. that would give each part it's "own" track.. or.. you could just record (digitally capture) the entire tape and then go back with a video editor and create separate tracks with their own file names and then burn them all onto a DVD using a DVD creator program. It all sounds difficult but it's not and most of the DVD creator programs have a "wizard" that will walk you right through it all.
