With the chapter editor in MMG you can create chapters manually.

the chap editor is not activated or i dont seem to be able to use it.

any tips on how to make it work.

do i append the 4 mps into 1 mkv and then go back into mmg and create the chapters?

or do i create it when i add/append the mp4s when creating the mkv?

Well the chapter editor is a bit unintuitive I guess.

Perhaps it is easier to create an OGM chapter file like this in notepad (save as chapters.txt)
CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000
CHAPTER01NAME=Intro
CHAPTER02=00:01:00.000
CHAPTER02NAME=Act 1
CHAPTER03=00:05:30.000
CHAPTER03NAME=Act 2
CHAPTER04=00:12:20.000
CHAPTER04NAME=Credits
Time is in HH:MM:SS format. You can adjust timecodes (you have to figure those out yourself ;)) and names to your liking.

Open this in the Global Tab under 'chapter file' and it will automatically be added to the Matroska file you save.
