When rendering and Burning a Dual layer disc I get the pop up message to insert a chapter marker in certain video files, the Video is one complete file with no interuptions at all and the video easily fits the Dual layer disc, why is it asking for a chapter marker and what is that exactly......

When you create a DVD DL video disc, the rules are slightly different depending on +R vs -R, but generally you want your data divided evenly between the 2 layers. The burning app needs to know exactly where you want to split all that data - you tell it by designating a Cell for the layer break. Now a cell is like a bookmark - a specific place or time in your title video file - and Chapters only can occur wherever you’ve got a cell... in DVDA you create cells only by creating chapters. Long story short, when DVDA asks for a chapter, or any burning app asks for a cell number, they’re asking you to exactly define where you want your content split.

There should be earlier threads with more details if you’re interested, plus many people feel the best way to burn a DL DVD is with ImgBurn, or the older method using PGCEdit + ImgBurn... you can find guides & links to guides on their respective sites.
