6. Start muxing.
7. When complete, close mkvmerge and open FOTR part 2 in mkvmerge. I tend to close it between uses so I don't miss a setting I needed to clear from the last step.

9. On the global tabe, check Enable splitting... ...after this duration. Place 00:00:00.500 in the box.
10. In the max. number of files box place 2. This is important as without it you will end up with a lot of files 1/2 a second long.
11. Start muxing.
12. When complete close mkvmerge and open it again.
13. Go to the Chapter Editor tab and drag the FOTR part 2 mkv into the chapters box.
14. Select each chapter in order, changing the name to the next number after the number of chapters in FOTR part 1. Chapter 1 becomes Chapter 28, Chapter 2 becomes Chapter 29, etc.
15. Once finished, on the menu click Chapter Editor > Save.
16. Close mkvmerge and open FOTR part 1 in mkvmerge.
17. Click append and add FOTR part 2.

Here are the trim settings for each LOTR EE Blu-rays Part 1 discs:
FOTR EE Part 1 end = 6338 seconds
TTT EE Part 1 end = 6396 seconds
ROTK EE Part 1 end = 7656 seconds
I haven't tried it, but you should be able to get chapter names from http://www.chapterdb.org

Personally, the 1st disc trim times seem right on, but the 2nd disc for each movie could be much better. I have found these to work best, without any black space between scenes:bw001 wrote:Here are the steps that I used:

I am seeing the same thing. TLOR: FOTR merged without any problems but TTT and TROTK give me "... The codec's private data does not match (lengths: 68 and 191). Please make sure that the resulting file plays correctly the whole time. The author of this program will probably not give support for playback issues with the resulting file."mskovgaard wrote:Hi,
Have you had problems merging/appending ROTK to one MKV? I get a warning "The codec's private data does not match". I haven't split the files or modified them in any way. I just use "Append".
Thanks in advance

Warning: The track number 0 from the file 'D:\Video\BLAH-BLAH002".mkv' can probably not be appended correctly to the track number 0 from the file 'D:\Video\BLAH-BLAH001.mkv': The codec's private data does not match (lengths: 68 and 191).

I tried all the steps but in the last step when trying muxing the two files it gives me following error:bw001 wrote:Here are the steps that I used:
