...Still Batchmux handled these chapters gracefully. I did not expect this because I know that Muxman refuses to author streams with chapters beyond the video length...

Indeed, this is intriguing...

The total number of chapters identified are reported in the BM log file as: "Segment #... - Total Nr of Chapters --> ...".

Just out of curiosity I browsed a little bit deeper in the C code where the chapter points are validated... Well, plenty of code is present in BM to validate the timecode entries. Believe me, there are many checks (and warnings/errors printed out in case of issues). Nevertheless, there is no explicit validation of the individual time points of the chapter lists against the duration of the related video segments. In other terms, as you are pointing out, the BM session (preparation of the mxp script) should not stop...

It is an intended behavior: in case of problems related to chapter points outside of the range of the video segment duration, the complains are all left to MuxMan...
