How to name Blu-ray output files based on Description field?
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2018 2:46 am
This question is NOT about "titleNN.mkv" problems.
Yes, I tried to search this but only find questions about "title.mkv overwriting" or "titleNN.mkv" issues.
Yes, I know I can name them by hand, but it would be way easier if MakeMKV did it automatically.
For HD DVD discs, the title names are all unique (and descriptive) and used as the output filename.
Most Blu-ray discs show similar descriptive information about each title but the output filenames just use the generic "titleNN' format.
