yes, there are 2 idependant things
1. write a (de)muxer for the current draft (and change the draft as needed if 
problems are noticed during implementing)
2. add chapters, playlists, menus, ...
IMHO 1. and .2 are independant and can be done at once, there is no need to 
delay either of them until the other is finished
