Subject: [PATCH] Use meaningful chapter names from metadata or filenames
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When authoring DVDs from multiple videos, chapters now display:
- Video metadata title if available
- Filename without extension as fallback
- Instead of generic "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc.

This provides better navigation experience in DVD players.
