You might try ChapterXtractor (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/ChapterXtractor)

In linux you could try:

mplayer dvd://1 -identify -frames 0 | grep CHAPTERS: > chapters.txt

or

lsdvd -t1 -c

thanks to both for answering.

I have just realised that the title sequence is not a chapter unto itself, so I'll have to remove them by hand, no chance of automating its removal.

For the record : I finally decided to offer myself the 7 seasons of Star Trek Voyager for Xmas, and want to back it up removing the title sequence from each episode. It's going to be long doing it by hand 172 times...

cheers

If you're lucky there might be a chapter at the end of the title sequence. If the title sequence is a standard length for each episode then you could perhaps script something to generate a new chapter for the start of the titles.
