Re: mkvmerge --split returns unexpected results

It’s not clear to me what you’re looking for. A merge is effectively just playing two files back to back. I'll try to explain better. The first part ends with a particular scene, the second part starts with an other scene. When I stitch them to together with MKVmerge, it just does its job and there...

Re: MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

Regarding the subtitles (Closed Caption CC608), I have provided some mis-information earlier. All episodes have these weird (very large, badly positioned, lots of >>) subtitles, including the ones MakeMKV ripped succesfully right away. So it has nothing to do with Handbrake. The problem is rather of...

Re: MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

Just a note to say I have (currently) 6 versions of MakeMKV installed on this machine, and 8 on another, from version 1.14.1 through 1.17.5 (haven't installed .6 yet). You do NOT have to install a new/different version in the same directory as the original install. Just saying. Good to know that it...

Re: MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

But I had another idea. I switched on Expert Mode en that gives me the option in the File menu to open a title manually by typing in the number of the title. When I do that for the pertaining episode, the duration of the episode that was 2:43:16 at the start, changed to 2:24:19. No idea why it does ...

Re: MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

According to the MakeMKV release notes , the DVD engine was rewritten for version 1.17. Generally, this has been an improvement. However, assuming you have a paid license to MakeMKV, you can use older versions. There's a very slim chance you might get a different result from version 1.16.7 of MakeM...

Re: mkvmerge --split returns unexpected results

It’s free on GitHub, and you do not need to compile it yourself… https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases/latest Yep, thx, I managed to download and decompress it. No further installation required, just clicking on the .exe file suffices. Works far better than the Windows tool that I used. It ...

Re: MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

I managed to make a, what I think, lossless (H.264 0RF) .mkv rip of the pertained episode (S02E06 - Rocket to Oblivion) with Handbrake. But I am still not completely satisfied with the result because the file is huge (about 13,5 GB compared to max 1,5 GB for the other episodes that are ripped with ...

Re: MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

Out of curiosity, can you make a backup for the DVD disc in question? I made a backup of the disc with MakeMKV and I opened the resulting .iso image with MakeMKV. Exactly the same structure becomes visible as when opening the disc directly, including the wrong duration of the last episode. Ripping ...

If you want to learn a little bit: Video compression picture types That's exactly what I mean, too complicated material for me. I want to be the driver of the car, not an automotive engineer. The tooling for even the simplest operations on video files (e.g. splitting, stitching, subtitles, etc.) is...

Re: mkvmerge --split returns unexpected results

I played a bit with a VLC addon "Jump to time Previous frame" which lead me nowhere, but I finally managed to trim the .mp4 file with the standard Windows 10 video editor (and then it hung up my laptop, fortunately after saving the trimmed file). It let's you determine the exact (well, in ...

Result of the scan by MakeMKV: see other attachment
same thing, but MakeMKV recognizes the double episodes, duration of 3rd episode also wrong

MakeMKV fails without additional info in log

I have a problem with a (legitimate) DVD disc of the tv-series Banacek. The disc contains 3 titles (= 3 episodes) and the first 2 titles are ripped without any problems. The 3rd title, however, fails after about 3/4 of the rip, always at the same location. I have tried several times in 2 different d...
