Cool!
The Elgato is a great product and the chapter support for DVD is a great thing!

Supporting chapter marks from DVD’s is huge. I can’t wait to start using this.

As soon as they add support for subtitles (Burn-in or OCR), I’ll be buying one of this puppies. Before that, I’ll stick with Handbrake.
