MakeMKV rips all episodes as a single large file

I have a particular disc, Spaced season 1, that when I rip it I get a 6GB .mkv file that is the entire season. There are other files which are the extras on the disc.

Is there a way to resolve it automatically?

Not automatically. MakeMKV works with what was authored on the disc. Most of us have been using MKVToolNix to post-process rips.

And what you receive can vary with the disk set; the series Bleach has several sets, which have different configurations. Some have all episodes as individual files. Some have each disk (5-7 episodes) as one file. Some disks were authored both ways.

At least the Ranma 1/2 disks were all authored the same way, with 7 to 8 episodes per file...
