Incorrect Chapters
Posted: Fri May 25, 2018 2:37 pm
I've been trying to get the DTS tracks from the VIDEO_TS directory of a few DVD-A music titles. I realize that MakeMKV does not work for DVD-A/AUDIO_TS, so to be clear, that's not the part of the disc I'm working with.
My process--which works with most discs but occasionally goes wrong--is to rip everything to MKV, then use AudioMuxer to wrap the DTS data into FLAC, which I can then play via Logitech Media Server, Oppo, whatever. This technique preserves the DTS stream and reliably activates DTS decoders.
The big problem that I have with several discs is that the chapters in the MKV are...weird. All the chapter marks wind up in the first second or so of the file with essentially the entire album as the final chapter. I originally thought the fault was in AudioMuxer and not MakeMKV, but I realize now that when I try to play the created MKVs in VLC, I'm seeing the chapter issue before AudioMuxer comes into play.
Here's an example of what AudioMuxer sees for the chapters created by MakeMKV on the DTS track of Donald Fagen's "Morph the Cat" DVD-A:
I have a workaround, but I'm curious if anyone else has ever seen this and/or if there are any ideas about what's happening.
Thank you!
