A24 Movies: How do I rip blu-rays where the title is listed multiple times?

Post by gadgetron »

Hi everyone,

This is my first post, so apologies if it has been asked before.

Over the weekend I tried ripping my physical copies of three A24 films (Good Time, Midsommar, and Hereditary). In each case, after MakeMKV opens the disc, I see what appears to be the same movie file listed over and over again. Each file has a different name, but how do I determine which one is the correct file to rip?

I understand this is intended to make things more difficult, but I wanted to ask if anyone else has run into this, and if so, how they sorted it out.

Thank you.

Some discs have playlist obfuscation. It was a tactic some studios used for a time to try to prevent their discs from being ripped as you're about to do.

There's probably a thread on the forum most any disc with this that you'll run into.

Midsommar

Hereditary Blu Ray Playlist Obfuscation

There's a couple of threads I found after a quick search.
