 Summary of the bug:

 FFmpeg adds recent support for "chapters" within -force-key-frames.

 At: http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
 {{{
 If one of the times is "chapters[delta]", it is expanded into the time of
 the beginning of all chapters in the file, shifted by delta, expressed as
 a time in seconds. This option can be useful to ensure that a seek point
 is present at a chapter mark or any other designated place in the output
 file.
 }}}

 Could "chapters" be similarly supported in -segment_times, so that this
 would be feasible (segment input based on embedded chapters):

 {{{
 ffmpeg -i file_with_chapters.mov -map 0 -c:v libx264 -c:a libfaac
 -force_key_frames chapters-0.1 -f segment -segment_list tout.csv
 -segment_times chapters-0.1 chaptered_%03d.mp4
 }}}

 Currently to do the same the user must parse out the chapter start values
 and do this:

 {{{
 ffmpeg -i /Users/davidrice/SoundieF.mpeg -map 0 -c:v libx264 -c:a libfaac
 -force_key_frames chapters-0.1 -f segment -segment_list tout.csv
 -segment_times 10,20,30 chaptered_%03d.mp4
 }}}
