• Extract as plain text or xml:

mkvextract chapters -s $mkvfile | tee $mkvile-chapters.txt
mkvextract chapters    $mkvfile | tee $mkvile-chapters.xml

• Add or replace chapters:

mkvpropedit $mkvfile --chapters $mkvile-chapters.txt

• Create chapters file from 2 columns tab-delimited list of timecode and name :

perl -ne 'BEGIN{$fps=24}; $c=sprintf("CHAPTER%02d", $n++);
  ($tc, $name)=split(/\t/);
  $tc =~ s!:(\d\d)$!sprintf(".%03d",$1*1000/$fps)!e;
  print "$c=$tc\n",
    "${c}NAME=$name"' $My_ChaptersList_File
