Output File Names Don't Match Source Title ID

[busthead]

Hello,

Is there a reason the output files (title_txx.mkv) are numbered according to their order in the MakeMKV UI rather than the actual 'Source title ID' number from the DVD?

Thx

Because MakeMKV lists titles by the order it encounters them in the directory. If the disk is authored with all titles in name order in the directory, that's what MakeMKV will do.

Also, if MakeMKV skips a title because it is "too short", it won't be included in the count of titles in the _txx numbering. You'll get different title numbers if you set minimum title length to zero seconds vs 1800 seconds.

Understood.

Occasionally a DVD is created in a way that makes it difficult to match the content on disc to the output files created by MakeMKV. In this scenario, it would be helpful to have the title_txx.mkv filename number actually match the 'Source title ID' number from the DVD.

You can do this with the Default File Name Template.

View / Preferences / Advanced / Output file name template.

You can edit the template to name the output files however you wish. Add {SN} to the string to get the Source ID. I like to include it as {_s:SN}

Amazing, thank you.
