Dummy chapters are taken at set intervals. You need to go into the dashboard to change the dummy chapter value. A value of 0 will disable them. Any other number higher than 0 will create chapters in x intervals.
The value is set per second, so if you put 60 for the dummy chapters option, you get a chapter per minute.
This morning I upgraded to 10.9.3 from 10.8.13 and I got a similar problem for new movies. The quoted message above is absolutely right and it was beause of dummy chapters but the problem was that for users like me who had no idea that there was a new feature for specifying a dummy chapter value -- we didn't know. The previous default value was 5 minutes for videos with no specified chapters and for my case I was accustomed to that and expected that behavior until this morning when I added a new video which didn't have dummy chapters generated.
So after a whole day's of off and on trying to debug the problem, the problem is that the new default value is zero (0) which indicates "don't make dummy chapters" whereas it should be 300 which indicates make dummy chapters as 5 minutes (300 seconds). I believe this only happens for the new server versions because as I remember from 10.8.13, it was still 5 minutes per dummy chapter.
