Expected Behavior

Chapter Markers created via obs-websocket CreateRecordChapter or via the 'Add Chapter Marker' hotkey should be saved in the Replay Buffer file output.

Current Behavior

Chapter Markers are missing in the video file created using Replay Buffer. Regular recordings correctly have the markers in place.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Start Replay Buffer
  2. Start Recording
  3. Create a Chapter Marker via the hotkey
  4. Save the Replay, and Stop Recording
  5. Inspect both the replay and the recorded file and notice the missing marker/chapter in the replay file, meanwhile the marker exists in the regular recording.
Anything else we should know?

Recording Format is set to 'Hybrid MP4'

I also want to make it clear that this issue only happens with videos saved via Replay Buffer. Chapters get saved correctly with regular recordings.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Hybrid MP4 by comparing a Replay Buffer save with a regular recording after creating a marker through CreateRecordChapter or the hotkey. Trace chapter-marker handling through the Replay Buffer save path and verify that the resulting replay file preserves the marker while regular recordings remain unchanged.
