"Elvira's Box of Horror" is a DVD Box set of Classic Horror Films where Elvira's makes comical commentary throughout the film. This is similar to "Mystery Science Theater 3000" except that her commentary comes as cut scenes interspersed throughout the film.

I have tried to capture these with MakeMKV but it is failing to grab her commentary. I tried to play the disc through VLC player and select the video with her commentary and it seems to work. The "movie", "with commentary" is presented with an Intro & an Altro with the interspersed scenes.

The output from MakeMVK is 4 Titles. Titles 1 & 4 output fine. But Titles 3 & 4 have sync errors (small segment):

Code: Select all

AV synchronization issues were found in file 'S:/Video/ELVIRA_HOHH_NOLD/B1_t01.mkv' (title #2)
AV sync issue in stream 1 at 0:00:34.912 with duration of 123ms : audio gap - 3.843 missing frame(s)
AV sync issue in stream 1 at 0:00:39.116 with duration of 110.8ms : encountered overlapping frame, audio skew is +110.8ms
AV sync issue in stream 1 at 0:00:39.227 with duration of 96ms : 3 frame(s) dropped to reduce audio skew to +14.8ms
AV sync issue in stream 1 at 0:33:31.852 with duration of 176.366ms : audio gap - 5.511 missing frame(s)
AV sync issue in stream 1 at 0:33:37.457 with duration of 185.566ms : encountered overlapping frame, audio skew is +185.566ms
4 titles would make sense to me in that per the menu, you can watch with and without the commentary:

While the timing on the output videos is slightly different. I just end up getting two copies if the movie. I did some further investigation and I looked at the disc in DVD Shrink. I ended up finding the Intro, Altro, & cut scenes. The Intro and Altro's are part of the menu.

The cut scenes actually appear at the end of Titles 2 & 3 for each movie respectively.

So my question is: How can I make MakeMKV pull the one with Elvira's Commentary?

ok, scratch some of this. I figured out the commentary is in there. When checking I skipped around and I guess I just skipped over the commentary the entire time. BUT! the into and Altro are still missing. I think I am going to use DVD Shrink to re-author it.
