This is by far the easiest app to add Chapters to iPod compliant mp4 files. However, normally QuickTime ignores the Chapter markers if the filename is not .m4v but QuickTime strangely recognise this app's Chapters no matter the filename extension is .mp4 or .m4v. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, so I make sure I rename accordingly.
One major quirk is iTunes cannot add the Album Artwork to mp4 files created by this app. I overcome it by re-exporting the file in QuickTime (using mpeg4 with "pass-thru" video & audio). The newly exported mp4 is now QuickTime compliant and supports Album Cover. Needless to say, the file extension must be .m4v for QuickTime to show the chapter selector.
All the above shortcomings are resolved in the just released version 3.7.
Amazing.
I wish I could call up SimpleMovieX directly within iTunes simply by highlighting a movie I want to edit (primarily to add chapter markers) and right-click. Maybe someone can write an iTunes Script for it.
Oh, the "i" button still calls up a screen that show non-English characters as garbage text, although otherwise non-English meta are preserved.

It just works...
... for free too.
Please write useful & unique apps instead of wasting everyone's resources on 2nd class clones.

I did waste time installing & uninstalling it after just a test run.

I'm sooooo happy the wait is over!
Question: Should I stick to the previous PowerPC-only version for my old Macs?

Version 1.1.4 works great in Tiger 10.4.8, QuickTime 7.1.3, and in my Intel iMac.
But I look forward to a universal version. Really.
