These should be added to video files using an external tool specialized
for such a purpose. Bino is a player only and does not alter the input
data in any way - that would require a completely different approach.

Usually tools for container formats can add or change chapter
information, e.g. mkvtoolnix for the Matroska (.mnkv) / WebM (.webm)
container.
