no menu ? no mpeg-audio ? 120 second limitation ?

Post by machser »

will MakeMKV soon be able to
  • - copying over DVD's/BD's menu to new mkv file ?
    - copying over MPEG audio streams ? I've got some DVDs with MPEG audio only and the result is a mkv without audio.
    - why is there a minimum title length of 120 seconds and everything under that is skipped ?

Probably never. While it is possible to put menus into MKV file, there is no player that will play them.

This is planned soon. Out of curiosity, what are DVD titles?

To filter out short trailers and logos. You can change minimum title length in preferences dialog.

A title on a DVD would be a VTS (Video Title Set)...

In theory, yes. But not in practice - MKV menu support is very buggy.

I've meant what is the name of the DVD that uses MPEG-audio? These seem to be rare.
