Avoiding the Second Video Track

Post by filmteknik »

I'm making a DCP using DCP-O-MATIC from a BD file ripped with MakeMKV. I don't know if my issue needs to be dealt with there or at this end. (I've asked on their forum as well.) I may have encountered this long ago but can't recall the solution.

BD ripped normally. The movie is one large file. This is not a playlist obfuscation issue. I can play it just fine in VLC.

In DCP-O-MATIC I add the one and only file and look at it and the video is from a "making of extra" while audio is from the feature.

I go back to the file and open it in VLC. If I click on video I see there are two video tracks. 1 is the feature. 2 is the making of. That explains where it's coming from.

The reason I'm asking here is that I have a vague recollection is that the solution may be to do the rip in a different way, not just click on the full backup arrow but to re-rip just that main file and set it to just get video track 1. If I'm correct please provide some guidance on how to do this. Thank you!

I think I solved it. Didn't keep track of how but I was able to bring up a list of contents of the file and unchecked all but the main video and the top track. I ripped that alone and VLC shows only the single video track. Looks fine in DCP-O-MATIC. Will know when it finishes.

No idea why the making of was embedded. Weird.
