Why do Mill Creek releases have incredible lengths of time between chapter stops (so that the current chapter continues upon a fade-to-black or other commercial fadeout, instead of a new chapter starting)?

I don't know if it's still the case, but back when i was doing DVD/BD releases for a small label about ten years ago, the authoring houses would charge for each chapter. Less chapters = lower costs.

Honestly, I didn't pay attention to any of them except that they wisely placed a chapter break after the opening credits.

And the Knight Rider and Airwolf all-in-ones from Mill Creek (among others) have chapter breaks after the titles and before the credits, IIRC.
