Title says it all, 1 file for every chapters.
Useful example:
right now all all my anime DVDs look to MakeMKV like 1 large movie. even though there are 3 EPs per DVD. And while do I understand that it how they are really are on the DVD. It would be wonderful to have the option to have MakeMKV create/split the output file in to FILE based on chapters.
Right now I'm using DVD Decrypter to convert my DVDs to chaptered VOBs. Then converting those to/into MKVs.

Re: [REQUEST] file split by chapters
You can also use mkvmerge to split produced MKV file. This feature is a bit tricky from UI prespective. Feature request noted, but I would not count on it to be implemented soon.
Re: [REQUEST] file split by chapters
That is only partially true. You can split a produced MKV, but it does not allow for splitting of MKV based on chapters. But like i said so far when I've wanted to do i just turn to using DVD Decryptor. And have it outputs VOBs by chapters and I just "convert"/merge those to into a MKV.mike admin wrote:You can also use mkvmerge to split produced MKV file.

NomadCF, what method do you use for converting your VOBs to MKV?NomadCF wrote:That is only partially true. You can split a produced MKV, but it does not allow for splitting of MKV based on chapters.

Re: [REQUEST] file split by chapters
DVD Decrypter does this the By Chapter option under Settings> IFO Mode. Last version was from 2005 and only work with DVD. So i know it is possible .Would be nice to see this in MakeMKV.

It's already been implemented as DVD Manual Mode.

Re: [REQUEST] file split by chapters
An older thread, but I felt the need to correct the earlier post. You can absolutely split by chapters with mkvmerge, it's supported it for years -- I do it all the time.
mkvmerge -o output.mkv --split chapters:all input.mkv
You can also do it like:
mkvmerge -o output.mkv --split chapters:10,15,20 input.mkv
mkvmerge -o output.mkv --split chapters:all input.mkv
You can also do it like:
mkvmerge -o output.mkv --split chapters:10,15,20 input.mkv
