Hawaii Five-0 BluRay's

[YannToberen]

Hello everyone.

I have the following problem: When ripping the first 8 episodes of the Blu-ray version of Hawaii Five-0, they are all saved to the disc at 52:14, even though they are all 8-10 minutes shorter. After the credits, each episode then runs correspondingly longer with a black screen (in Kodi on the Xbox).

In VLC Player on the computer, you can see that after the credits, the timer only lasts for one second and then stops counting. The progress bar also stops. But after 8-10 minutes (depending on the episode), VLC Player also stops as soon as the 52:14 has elapsed.

If you click directly into the timeline during the last 8 minutes of the regular movie, the previously reached image remains, i.e., there is no black screen.

This suggests that the VC1 file in the MKV container actually only has the correct actual length, and the extension to 52:14 is merely information in the MKV file. I'd be happy with that, but I'd like to use an application to correct the information in the MKV file.

Of course, it would also be nice if the problem itself could be fixed.

Because of this problem, I stopped reading after episode 8 (season 1).

But anyway, does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Regards,

Ralph

[Edit] Apparently, not all discs/seasons are affected. I ripped season 7 / disc 1 / episode 1, and everything is OK. I've now started with season 2: I have the same problem as in season 1, but only 28 seconds (instead of 8-10 minutes) for episode 1, 28 seconds for episode 2, etc.

I found another question about the Hawaii Five-0 Blu-rays in the forum (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29124), but it doesn't even address the problem I'm having. arrbee99 also worked with MakeMKV 1.17.1. I tried it with 1.17.8 on Linux and 1.17.9 on Windows.

I'd like to mention again that I'd like to try to solve this problem with an MKV editor that can edit the length of the video stream contained in the MKV file. Unfortunately, MKVToolNix can't do this; it can only display this value.

Regards

I had only ripped season 1 so far but looks like mine is the same except the videos are about 48 minutes and not 52 minutes. I checked several files and it looks like an issue through all of season 1.

I did some testing and found if you rip the video with 2.0 channel audio which is the commentary the file has the correct length. But if you rip the 5.1 channel it has the above issue.

So i took the file and split the video and audio into separate files. The video has the correct length but the audio has the extended time. So it looks like it's a audio production issue that can't be fixed without a re-encode. But i tested handbrake with the extra audio trimmed and it resolved the issue.
