Well, the (maybe purely theoretical) disadvantage is that it only works
if the demuxer is able to provide a full chapter list upfront.
For a potential format that has only "chapter marks" embedded in the
file that you would have to read over to find, this solution wouldn't
work (at least not without adding something like -forceidx for chapter
info).
