The Matrix trilogy correct playlist

Post by fred1jones2 »

I am looking for the correct playlist for The Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, and Matrix Revolutions UHDs.

I did the search but "matrix coefficients" seems to be quite a common term and is skewing any results.

Is there a thread where correct playlists are kept? Similar to this post:

There's usually a thread that's something like 'What's the correct playlist for <movie title>?'

I have seen a few threads for The Matrix UHDs, but none asking about which playlist. It seems people have been able to find the correct playlist easily enough in the past to not need to ask. What are you seeing?

Thanks! I am seeing three possible titles so it's not like some that have hundreds. One does not have chapters so I guess that means there are two two possible titles. In that case do experienced MakeMKV users try both? I am not worried about the time to create the MKV, just that what if they swapped CHx with CHy or just dropped a CH altogether? It would be hard to determine that watching the entire movie and even then it might not be obvious unless one is very familiar with the movie.

That method also ruins the movie! I am waiting to get the DV stuff working before watching my movies.
Here is a snippit of MKV:

Click on one of the two possibilities to highlight it. In the info box on the right, you'll see a segment map. Figure out the difference in the segment map between the two.

Create a decrypted full backup of the movie: http://makemkv.com/faq/item/4 Inside that backup will be a folder named STREAM. Inside there will be .m2ts files that correspond to the segment map. Those files play just fine in VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/) or MPV (https://mpv.io). Undoubtedly, you'll then know which title is for you.

You can then make a .mkv file from the decrypted backup; no need to rip from the disc again.
