I'm new to dvd authoring and have just figured out chapter points. All of them work but the last one and I don't know why. Here's the contents of my celltimes.txt:

5175
10275
15405
23850
29805
37095
41595
45870
48660
52290
61350
63165
68715
76035
81465
86190
95415
99420
107295

All of the chapter points worked except 107295.

EDIT When I open the celltimes.txt with ifoedit, it shows 107295 as 10729. Is this a bug?

I'm no expert in chapters, but you could try extracting the celltimes.txt file in PgcDemux, and author the DVD with MuxMan instead, to see if the same problem occurs.

PgcDemux (and PgcEdit) has an option to include the end time as well. It should not be tiched.
This end time is actually the frame number of the image following the last image that is demuxed, and is therefore not necessary, unless you need it to concatenate several titles. Some muxers have trouble if it is included in CellTimes.txt.

I'm not sure it's your problem, though.

I figured it out. The celltimes.txt just needed an extra blank space after the final chapter point. That's why it was taking a digit from the last number. Thank you for answering!

BTW, which program did you use to generate the CellTimes file?

I made it manually with notepad. I opened the m2v and wav files with virtualdubmod and wrote down the keyframes where I wanted the chapter points to be.

Ah, OK! The bug is in Visual Notepad, then! :D

I expect IfoEdit reads numbers until the first non-digit. Therefore the last line should usually be ended with a new line (CR/LF in Windows). So just type a RETURN after the last number and save again.
