!Chapter Markers Only are Removed
The REMOVE CHAPTER function removes only the MARKERS for chapters, NOT the actual video contained in a chapter. To actually remove a section of video from a recording, use HIDE CHAPTER, which is covered in the next section.
Hide Chapter
If you wish to “edit out” a chapter from a recording, use the HIDE CHAPTER function.
If the segment of video you wish to remove is not already defined as a chapter, you must first add Chapter Markers at the beginning and end of the section, then use the HIDE CHAPTER function to remove the new chapter.
After a chapter is hidden, it will be invisible during playback as if it did not exist on the disc, even though it is still using space on the disc.
1 In this example, the section to be removed has not yet been defined as a chapter. In this case, first add Chapter Markers - following the procedures already covered - at the beginning and end of the section.
