So many titles - no descriptions

Post by ZBR549 »

I'm new to setting up a Plex Media Server and have no technical background. I ripped my Pearl Harbor (2001) DVD to store on Plex. There are 7 titles, but no descriptions of what each title actually is.

Same thing happens with my copy of The Da Vinci Code. No really large files. Just 11 ranging from 801 MB to 583 MB.

How can I tell which file contains the movie?

Is there a setting in MakeMKV that will expand the title descriptions?

A DVD rip of a 2 hour movie is probably around 5GB +/-. Usually the movie is the biggest file.

I don't have either of those titles, unfortunately.

MakeMKV can only show you whatever is encoded on the disc, so it is up to the disc authors to properly label things. In my experience, this is rare with DVDs, but more common with Blu-rays.

If you post a screenshot we can probably talk you through it.
