Rip Bluray to include the menu and chapters

[devonsteele]

Hello I have just started ripping movies and it is going great. But what I have noticed is that unlike dvd's is that when I rip a bluray it just rips the movie. It doesn't include the menu and chapters. I go and check the biggest file in Makemkv but all I get is the movie. Granted if this is just how it is then no argument it works like a charm and I love it. But if I am missing something, if someone could help me out here that would be great!!

To get the menus, you need to do a "Backup", rather than "Open/Save". It's an option only available for BD.

Backup creates a copy of the whole BD structure, optionally already decrypted, which will be "just like" playing the BD itself.

Also, chapters ARE copied to the MKV file when you do Open/Save.

Awesome thank you! I use handbrake so that it will play on my mac and what not. When I do the backup with makemkv should I decrypt it or leave it encrypted?

Decrypt if your player doesn't have bluray decryption built in. That includes handbrake.

If you're using handbrake, you have no use for menus anyway - they won't work with the converted files. BD menus are specific to how BDs store data, which is why they're ignored when using open/save.
