Set output filenames from title00.mkv, etc., to actual title

Post by kolepard »

I am relatively new to MakeMKV, but am in the process of converting the individual episodes of the TV shows I have on DVD to individual files to work better with XBMC.

Is there a way to set the files to their final names before conversion? That is, instead of having

title00.mkv
title01.mkv

etc.,

I can set them so when they are done they are

MASH.s01.e01.Pilot.mkv
MASH.s01.e02.To Market, To Market.mkv

etc.

The computer I'm using to do this has 4 optical drives in it, and I can run multiple instances of MakeMKV, but the output files always collide as all instances try to use the title00.mkv, etc., for the output files, which slows the process considerably.

I've searched the forum with a variety of search terms, but haven't found anything relevant. I realize it may not be possible, but it would be nice if it were.

Thank you.

Enable Expert mode (View -> Preferences -> General).

You'll see a drop-down box in the right-hand pane which defaults to 'Name'. Click on that and choose 'Filename'. Then in the box to its right you enter the filename you want for each title.
