MakeMKV displays zillions of titles on Blu-ray disc

[russellbateman]

(I am a long-time paid-up user of MakeMKV and I build and use it Linux.)

Forgive me, I'm guessing this is very likely a naive question. I have purchased Blu-rays that I wish to put into the filesystem of my Plex Media server. I find some discs that, once loaded in MakeMKV, list almost innumerable titles where I would be looking for maybe 4 total (because the disc has 4 episodes on it). If I transcode a title based on likely size, I seem to get an episode (in .mkv) out the other end that plays scenes out of order.

I'm guessing this is some kind of copy protection scheme?

Is there a community, this one or another, that can help me learn to choose the correct set of files? Does loading it in VLC or some other software (Blu-rays are a bit iffy on Linux no matter what) exhibit which tracks to put in which order? (Usually, on VLC, the disc takes forever and I'm never able to play any thing anyway.)

Profuse thanks for any comments.

Yeah just look up the disc name and find the right play list unless it's new you will be able to find it most times
There has been a guy posting his website with the correct play lists I'll post it later if I find it on my PC later not searching on phone

I already have this level of acquaintance with all the content I purchase.

What I'm looking for is to understand which, in the case of the present two-disc season of 8 episodes I'm looking at, 200 files whose size is reported by MakeMKV as 6.5Gb or 10.1Gb each, is the "real" episode 1, episode 2, episode 3, etc. I am trying to transcode from the correct file when each and every title has the same name in the list in MakeMKV's left pane and differs only in its number (title_t00.mkv, title_01.mkv, etc.).

Thank you for your response, though.
