Here's another workaround in case anyone finds this interesting: Tightly pack all the slides. I was previously tying titles to PowerPoint presentations. However that organization "wasted" a lot of titles that were only partially full. The workaround is to author the presentations onto the disc like this:

Presentation 1:
   Title 1: chapters 1-99
   Title 2: chapters 1-62
Presentation 2:
   Title 2: chapters 63-99
   Title 3: chapters 1-99
   Title 4: chapters 1-26
Presentation 3:
   Title 4: chapters 27-99
   ...

This is what the chapter breaks look like in presentation 1:

   <vob file="P1-slide098.mpg"><cell pause="inf" chapter="yes" start="0:00:00.000"></cell></vob>
   <vob file="P1-slide099.mpg"><cell pause="inf" chapter="yes" start="0:00:00.000"></cell></vob>
   <post>jump title 2 chapter 3;</post>
</pgc>
<pgc>
   <vob file="P1-slide100.mpg">
      <cell chapter="yes" start="0:00:00.000" end="0:00:01.000"></cell>
   <vob file="P2-slide002.mpg"><cell pause="inf" chapter="yes" start="0:00:00.000"></cell></vob>
