If they are less than your minimum time (normally 30 seconds), they won't be highlighted for selection. You can set that minimum to zero if you need to.

But they won't be LISTED as what you're looking for, normally.

Mapping out where the extras are on each disc is the reason I created https://thediscdb.com/. It is my attempt to share my findings with others (and also take submissions from others who want to contribute)

The chapters is on the movie title, the extras are one of the many other items listed. Sometimes the disc has them partially labeled, but most of the time you will need to identify them. The way I've always done that is to open the movie in a player and go to the extras, play them to see the length and then find the item with that time length in the MakeMKV list. You then just select it and rename it. You do that for each extra until you've found them all. You will rarely ever have two titles with the exact same run-time.

The site ifoust created is a great resource if the disc is there. If not, you could add it once you've mapped the extras.

I often look for a review at blu-ray.com, which often has a good overview of the extras on a disc.
