Was the information I received correct or is there an easier way to add chaptering?
Also, there are a few VHS tapes which have 8 hours of content on them and for a few of them I need to transfer 8 hours onto a single DVD. I believe this is possible via a specific setting.
Finally, I need to be able to ensure I can make the DVD recorder I buy multi-regional which I am told can be easily done. What do I look out for when choosing a machine?
Any help appreciated!

My jvc dvd recorder allows you to add chapter marks manually until you close/finalise the disc. If you don't, it adds them every five minutes.
