Distinguishing which set of "chapters" to use

[Phrehdd]

Of recent, I have started to use MakeMKV (OSX) instead of ANYDVD HD within Virtual XP Windows.

I went to create my MKV file from a blu ray disc and listed were two sets of large files - a 19 chapter and a 21 chapter set. How does one distinguish which is the correct set of files for an MKV?

Also, I usually leave the subtitles on so that if there is a forced, I'll see it with MKVmerge and if not, I then go to TSmuxer for a final - MT2S file. In essence, only files with forced subs are left in MKV format. The effort to try and extract forced forced subs and convert to M2TS is with way too many steps. Also I tend to flag the forced subs as the main or full sub with MKVmerge. This way I can leave subtitle default within XBMC as always "on." Avatar gets a forced sub, and then my foreign films always have English subs on.

If someone knows which chapter set to use or a fast way to identify each (19 or the 21) as well as dealing with subs I would appreciate it.

Hi!

If someone knows which chapter set to use or a fast way to identify each (19 or the 21) as well as dealing with subs I would appreciate it.

Since the number of chapters are different, that's indicative of a disc that contains both the "theatrical" version (as shown in the movie theater) and an "extended" version that contains either extra or modified scenes.

If it listed two (or more) titles with the SAME number of chapters, that could be indicative of the normal video and a "director's commentary" version, or a 16x9 and a 4x3 version, versions where the visuals (a newspaper, for example) are presented in differing languages - Disney has a penchant for doing this...

Thanks very much. I hoped that was the case.
