Episodes not appearing (assumed fake titles)

Post by TearsInTheRain »

Hi there,

I'm having an issue with 1 out of a boxset of 5 DVDs, there are 3 episodes on the DVD, I can navigate to them and play each episode by running the DVD in DVD player, however MakeMKV, when accessing the DVD only provides 1 episode to convert, in the log it says;
Title #3 was added (7 cell(s), 0:48:46)
Cells 8-8 were removed from title end
Title #4 declared length is 0:48:31 while its real length is 0:26:37 - assuming fake title
Cells 1-1 were removed from title start
Cells 8-8 were removed from title end
Title #5 declared length is 0:47:23 while its real length is 0:00:00 - assuming fake title
I'm guessing its probably the fault of the DVD publisher, however, the files are genuinely the length they claim to be as I have watched the episodes back on the DVD player running the disc as normal.

I have tried opening the Disc using Auto, CellWalk, CellTrim and CellFull.

Is there a way to make MakeMKV ignore the discrepancy in length and let me convert the episodes anyway?
