MakeMKV displays zillions of titles on Blu-ray disc
Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2021 11:53 pm
(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.
