One problem is that VLC on Android does not see the title of a
chapter.

With .mkv and .asf chapters also work. But VCL on Android does not see
the chapters in an .asf file. With a .mkv the chapters are seen and
the correct title is displayed.

So at the moment .mkv seems the best option. But only tested it with
mpv on Debian and VLC on Android. Do not know how good it will work on
Windows and Apple.
