user12219: Is there a way to automatically split a video into multiple files based on chapter markers?
I don't want to re-encode the file, just a video/audio passthru.
The source file is a MKV container, but I guess it doesn't really matter.
Apple OS X, Windows… either OS would be fine.

user1871: mkvmerge, a part of MKVtoolnix, will split a MKV file by chapters.
Basic syntax is
mkvmerge -o chapter.mkv --split chapters:all input.mkv

but see Section 2.5 #7 of the documentation for more details.
