This is a little guide on how to select the correct movie version.

Find your video language

Some movies have different local names and those are used in intro logos. Especially animation movies contain video scenes with translated signs, letters, etc. depending on the selected language. Because of that a movie like "Onward" has 4 different versions on the EU Blu-Ray and if you compare the "Segment map" you'll see the different clip numbers which contain those localized scenes: As you can see in both titles the very first number is "901", while the second number differs. Those numbers are the names of the clips of which consist the different movie versions.

We remember those numbers which differ: Then we "Close" the disc through the menu and create an encrypted backup: While the backup is running we check the backup subfolder /BDMV/STREAM and open the different clips like "01437.m2ts" with VLC and try to find the difference in the scene. In this case "1437" is the German version of the movie which I need: We can now stop the backup, delete the backup files and re-open the disc and rip the video title we need.

Note: Some people prefer to create a full backup and use File > Open > /BDMV/index.bdmv to open the backup to rip the preferred title from the backup. This works, too, but needs more time.

Take a look at my feature request to enhance this process.

Japanese fake title

Some Blu-Rays seem to contain two different movie versions, but the second one is only a fake title as it contains only "Japanese" and "English" audio tracks: While the "real" title contains several more languages (which are listed on the cover):

Playlist Obfuscation

Some movies have a huge amount of titles and each has a different order in the "segment maps" which makes it impossible to find the correct version through the backup method described in the first post.

In such cases it helps to install the portable version of Java 8:
https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/java_portable
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portab ... 0Portable/

Then select "java.exe" through Preferences > Protection > Custom Java executable location Now MakeMKV automatically marks the correct title with "FP_MainFeature": But sometimes this does not work. Then you could use the PowerDVD method described here, but I prefer buying DVDFab Player as after starting the movie through the Blu-Ray menu it shows the mpls number in the playlist: By that you only need to find the title which has "00767.mpls" as the "Source file name".
