Chapter marks do not embed in mp4 files even though that option is shown as a checkable box

I can add chapter markers to the Premier timeline, and when I go to encode out to an mp4 file, the metadata allows the markers box to be checked, and says it will encode into the mp4 stream. When I play this a player such as the VLC player, the chapter markers are not included. However, these chapter markers are included if this is done in Davinci Resolve, and are present in the video player like the VLC player.

Here’s an older feature request that implies that there was no option for embed. I don’t recall anything different.

I don’t know whether the Metadata Dialogue opens any other options

I find the same, and previous posts suggest this does not work. I tried regular and chapter markers, and chapter markers named and not, and sequence and clip. EXIF shows that the markers are embedded using Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) framework. But VLC does not know how to use this.

Can you share a short clip that works in VLC? I’d love to take a peek.

I could not get it to embed chapter marks using Adobe Premiere to be recognized in the VLC player, But if I encode with Davinci Resolve, it does embed the chapter marks and they are recognized in the VLC player.
