I have various DVDs which I've made myself using iDVD, and they contain
movies with chapter marks. Is there any way of ripping these movies back to
..mov format while preserving the chapter marks?

I've converted to .m4v in Handbrake and kept chapter marks. Not sure if this
helps you.

The problem with Handbrake is that it is very restricted on the codecs it
will use. If I output in H264, I lose lots of quality, and it takes an age.

OK it will be transcoding things, but is there really significant
quality loss compared to a DVD?

I'll give it a shot and find out.
