问题
Currently i'm using MKVToolNix for my needs which is fine but i would prefer some CLI also. As far as i know ffmpeg supports chapters management.
回答1:
The ffmetadata format allows you to add chapters to a file.
Have a look at https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#Metadata-1 for an example.

Sorry maybe I'm not clear, and editing the answer I have messed up worst. I'm not English.
Like Alex Zubkov I want add chapters to video with ffmpeg via cmd.
The instruction in the page linked by MRousse don help me at all, but help me to solve 1st problem:
- Problem file was not in UTF-8.
- Problem was not unix.
So I take the file from the video with
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -f ffmetadata metafile
I left the file without extension and edited with notepad++, as visible in this pic
that are unix.
If I create a new file with notepad++ it is like this
and not work, maybe was because I'm on windows and not on linux.
This is the file used for add chapters:
;FFMETADATA1
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/1
START=0
END=180
title=chapter \#1
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/1
START=181
END=350
title=chapter \#2
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/1
START=351
END=600
title=chapter \#3
With this I insert the chapter in the video file:
ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -i meta -map_metadata 1 -codec copy output[with_meta].mp4
This solved the problem I have. Hope now I'm more clear, or I've not understood the question and I'm sorry.
