The video file must be encoded in MP4 to have access to chapter editing (creation + modification). Chapter editing will not be possible on an FLV video, but it will still display chapters in the video player if it has also been encoded in MP4 simultaneously. If the MP4 video is deleted, the chapters will remain on the FLV but without editing capability.
This tool cannot be used for audio-only media.
