converting Video_TS.ifo to mkv

I am in the middle of a process to convert all my dvd and br disks to mkv. I am doing the dvd's first and I have the process fully automated. I convert using the command line option and point makeMKV at the VIDEO_TS.ifo file as recommended.

There is one issue that has me puzzeled. Most of the time the conversion goes without a hitch and I get a single mkv file (title00.mkv) that is slightly smaller then the combined size of all the VOB files. Sometimes however I get multiple mkv files gnerally about the same size, and also about the size of the combined VOB files. MKV converts them as title00.mkv and title01.mkv. When I ripped the dvd's I did it to iso format after selecting only the main stream (the largest one).

Can anyone shed some light on what is going on?

MakeMKV takes alternate angles(one or two scenes may be different) and puts them in a separate MKV.

I thought it might be something like that. Thanks for the info.
