Hello all,
Thank you for having me here on the MakeMKV Support Forum. This is my first post; I am new to MakeMKV and the world of 4K UHD ripping, so please excuse me if I don't understand your responses.
For context, I emailed at the end of April, because this and another disc from the set, didn't have a hash key for MakeMKV. Now, it does have a hash key, and I've created a MakeMKV backup. But, the backup has gone all strange.
Unlike my previous backups from the set, this film ripped into many clips, of varying lengths. I found 25 clips (besides the usual copyright, menu etc ones), of the film. They range from 20 seconds long, to 30 minutes. And, there are duplicates.
I suspect one set of clips is for the Director's Cut, and one set is for the Theatrical cut, but they're all bundled together into one folder. So, I can't tell which clips belong to which film counterpart.
They're all numbered, but, even if put in ascending order, they don't seem to follow on from each other.
If this is relevant - I noticed that there are numbers in .mpls, that aren't also in video format (.m2ts), like 0800.mpls etc
My theory is this is somehow linked to why I don't have a full film-length video.
Does anyone know why this has happened? So we can avoid or fix this for others in future?
I followed this up by opening the disc in MakeMKV, ticking everything under each title, and then clicking 'Create MKV' instead. This was a success, it gave me two, intact full films.
I'd like a backup of the full films, though, incase I am missing anything by not having that. I am baffled as to why I have a bunch of clips.
Thank you for your help, and for your detective work.
Best,
S.V
