Create professional DVD structure with automatic chapter markers

Browse Source 
Major improvements to DVD authoring for professional results:

- Always concatenate multiple videos into single title (not multiple titles)
- Automatically generate chapter markers from video clips
- Chapter markers created at each scene boundary regardless of checkbox
- One title with navigable chapters instead of separate titles
- Better logging showing chapter structure and timestamps

Before: 4 videos → 4 separate titles with no chapters
After: 4 videos → 1 title with 4 chapter markers

This creates a professional DVD that matches commercial disc structure
with proper chapter navigation.
