Question about Blu-Rays and Titles
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2013 4:38 am
I have been using MakeMKV to create .mkv files from some Blu-Ray discs I own. I have an old computer with a Blu-Ray drive installed running Ubuntu 12.04, and have been using the "makemkvcon" program. I use the following options when I rip all my discs to .mkv: "makemkvcon -r mkv disc:0 all ./MOVIE_NAME" which works fine; I get the full movie, or all the episodes if the disc is of a TV show, and a bunch of previews (previews that I delete after its done ripping).
However, Blu-Ray discs are a little odd. I get all the episodes and previews, but I also get another title. As an example, I ripped the TV show Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The first disc, when run with the standard command line options I specified above with MakeMKV v1.8.4, gives me 10 titles/.mkv files.
The last title is roughly the same size as all of the previous titles, and its contents is all the other titles con-catted after one another. In addition to TV shows ripping funny, I have a Blu-Ray movie which ripped with two, almost identical titles. They have the same video playback length, but are of slightly different sizes and bitrates. I have an attachment with the output from MediaInfo for all the titles I am talking about, if you are curious at comparing the two movie files.
Does anyone know why MakeMKV is spitting out two seeming identical movie titles, or a title with every previous title con-catted together? Is there anyway I can select/view titles to rip from the "makemkvcon" command so ripping doesn't temporarily take up twice the space? Ripping on my desktop with a GUI is not practical.
