How to set up skip-to (FF) points?

I'm just getting started and don't really know what I'm supposed to be looking for in the Help, so maybe somebody can at least point me in the right direction with the jargon.

If I have, say 45 minutes of home video to put on a DVD, how do I set this up in, say, 10 sections so the DVD user can either watch the thing start to finish or use the skip/FF [>|] button to get to the next section? Is this something I set up in VMS or in DVD Architect Studio? Do I need to make 10 projects in VMS? If not, how do I mark the "skip to points" in my one VMS project?

Thanks!

You can do this in Vegas. Add Markers (press the M key) wherever you want a new chapter to begin. When you "Make Movie" choose advanced render and put a checkmark in the box labeled "Save project markers in media file". These markers will become chapter points in DVDA.

If you've already done the render then you can also add the chapter markers in DVDA by moving your cursor in the tiny timeline there and adding them. I find it easier and faster to do it in Vegas though.
