My first question is if there is a way that multiple angles could be combined into 1 MKV file. For example, if there are up to 3 angles, but only a few minutes in which there are multiple angles, it doesn't make sense to create three 5-7 GB files, totaling >=15GB... It would be nice if either: the multiple angles could be combined into a single MKV, and the user could select between them just like selecting an audio or subtitle stream; or, the deviations from angle 1 could be saved in separate MKV files, just the deviations, not all the redundancy. As it is, if there are multiple angles, I use DVDShrink without compression, instead of MakeMKV.

Also, is there a way to ignore the bad spots on a disk? For example, if a disk has 1 or 2 physical bad spots, it causes the whole track to fail, even though most of the video is readable. When watching the disk in a media player, I could skip over those bad spots. Perhaps the MKV could be generated anyway, just substituting generic blankness for the unreadable information, or starting a new MKV file from the first good keyframe after the bad spot? Obviously, the program should still warn you that there were unreadable parts.

Thanks,

There are tools out there that will skip over bad spots. But the design of MakeMKV is to make an exact copy, which is not possible if parts of the disk are unreadable.

The way the "other tools" work makes it difficult, if not impossible, to do any post-rip processing, due to errors in the data. And not all players will skip a section of bad data... Some will just stop playback, others will generate system errors.

Thanks. I'm trying DVD Decrypter now, with an option to ignore errors.
