You could post each “chapter” individually on the website.

[joslyn20] “no way to click on the web video to go to the next chapter/section?”
When the web page is designed, you can make the playback window a “hot button”.
In addition, you could offer a set of “control buttons” below the playback window with choices of “Next” “Back” “Pause” “Start”… and the like.
It would give the web users more and consistent control of the playback.

IMHO the best way to do this is with Flash. You can create a simple interface/player with navigation buttons or embed the buttons over the video – whatever works best for your client. Flash offers the greatest visual quality for a given data rate as well as complete interactive flexibility. And the Flash can be added easily to any website. And you don’t need special streamming servers, etc. You use progressive download which makes it easy. You can add captioning, too, if that is necessary.

If you insert your chapter markers in FCP, export a reference movie. Bring that into Compressor. Choose your DVD settings for your DVD, then add a iPod export setting as well. You’ll get an h.264 mp4 with chapter markers.

There are free scripts available from apple that will add chapters to QT movies. Also a bunch of 3rd party apps.
