I've played with it but have yet to dive into end actions, etc. Having said that, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes but I'd appreciate confirmation from someone who knows for sure. Thanks.

I have one long video that I want to split into 5 chapters:

1. Breakfast scene
2. Leaving the house
3. Arriving on campus
4. Graduation ceremony
5. Festive Family Dinner

Now, I am desgining this DVD for the technicallu-challenged. At the exact moment when the breakfast scene ends (scene #1), I want a black screen to appear with the following:

"Wasn't that a great breakfast that mom made? Well, now it's time to get back to the movie:

If you want to skip to the Graduation Ceremony, press HERE with the remote.

If you want to skip to the Festive Family Dinner, press HERE with the remote.

If you want to keep watching the video in its entirety, press HERE with the remote."

Anyone want to tell us HOW it can be done?

Sounds like a pretty basic menu to me.

Add a menu to the disc.
Drag the same video file to the menu for each button that you want.
Edit the text for each button as you wish.
For each link, double-click the button and, using the timeline, set the In/Out points for the video (where should that section start, where should it stop).
Done. Each section will return to the menu after it's played.
