When there are two playlists with a different number of chapters, which should I use? There are good arguments either way....
But madshi, the new versions of eac3to don't in any way expose the correct chapter list. Here's all it shows me:
Code:
D:\>eac3to h:
1) 00216.mpls, 00011.m2ts, 1:30:05
   - h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
   - h264/AVC, 480p24 /1.001 (16:9)
   - TrueHD, English, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, French, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, Spanish, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, Portuguese, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, Thai, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, English, stereo, 48khz
   - DTS Express, English, stereo, 48khz

2) 00202.mpls, 00105.m2ts, 0:26:44
   - MPEG2, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
   - AC3, English, stereo, 48khz

3) 00203.mpls, 00106.m2ts, 0:16:00
   - MPEG2, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
   - AC3, English, stereo, 48khz
But then even if I force eac3to to look at 00001 it still gives me 51 chapters? Maybe it was/is another .mpls that gives 16 chapters?

Code:
D:\>eac3to h:\bdmv\playlist\00001.mpls
1) 00001.mpls, 00011.m2ts, 1:30:05
   - h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
   - h264/AVC, 480p24 /1.001 (16:9)
   - TrueHD, English, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, French, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, Spanish, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, Portuguese, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, Thai, multi-channel, 48khz
   - AC3, English, stereo, 48khz
   - DTS Express, English, stereo, 48khz

Creating file "chapter.txt"...
Done.
Still puzzled why the older version of eac3to finds-and-picks 16 chapters correctly, but the newer doesn't expose 16 chapters anywhere? In that post you linked to, at least that movie showed the feature as being in multiple playlists; this one does not.

Well, I guess this command:

D:\>eac3to h:\bdmv\playlist\ xxxxx.mpls

is giving me the main movie playlist (& incorrect 51 chapters) every time, so apparently I've not used a proper eac3to command...

EDIT: Here are the very different results when using eac3to v2.65! Apparently 00217 is the correct mpls to choose!
Code:
D:\>"c:\program files (x86)\eac3told\eac3to.exe" h:\
