The Strike Witches Season 1 DVDs are coming up as a giant 2.5Hr selection in lieu of the favorable episodic selections. I've opened the DVDs manually, and can see many chapters that include almost all the parts, but one chunk is missing for episode 4. That's 10 to 12 minutes. Also putting the episodes together with the different chunks is a little tricky. Does anybody know how to more appropriately decode these Funimation DVDs from early to mid 2000s?
P.S. if this is the wrong form, my apologies. This is my second posting.
Thanx,

Re: Strike Witches Season 1 (or 2)
I found VLC Player to give me the correct Title & Chapters for each six parts for each of the six episodes per disc 1. They ended up being:
36:1-6 36:7-12 36:13-18 36:19-24 36:25-30 36:31-36
Opening the DVD manually with this string did indeed present the proper six episodes, each around 24min 07sec in length. Once I click go I started to receive SCSI Errors at different sectors of the same VOB which led to failures to create the episode MKV output files.
Since VLC and a regular DVD unit can play back the discs just fine, why does MakeMKV end up with SCSI Errors and end up failing?
I'm using an LG Ultra slim USB burner with the special Libre drive firmware applied. Over twenty-five movie and other TV episodic discs used successfully before this Strike Witches series set.
While I'm waiting for some feedback, I'm creating ISO backup with DVDFab to then run back through MakeMKV to see if ai can get around the SCSI Errors reading the VOB offsets.
Thanx,
Wio

SUCCESS!
Each Disc has six episodes.
DISC 1:
36:1-6 36:7-12 36:13-18 36:19-24 36:25-30 36:31-36
DISC 2:
41:1-6 41:7-12 41:13-18 41:19-24 41:25-30 41:31-36
1) Create an ISO of the disc first.
2) Open the ISO manually in MakeMKV.
3) Input the manual TITLE:CHAPTER strings above.
4) Verify MakeMKV lists each episode as 24min 07sec episodes (give or take a few seconds).
5) Create your episodic MKV files and enjoy.
Thanx,
