Doctor Who - Unable to rip single episode.

[fatez]

Hi everyone,

I have a huge problem.
I wanted to devote the day to ripping my Doctor Who blurays but I can't do it. Makemkv sees the structure as a single movie instead of three separate episodes.

As you can see here is as soon as I inserted the bluray of the first season (but it does it with all, I've already tried)



As you can see Makemkv only sees a single 29.4GB movie



Single files would also be there but MakeMkv "unifies" them.




how can i solve it?
Is there a setting or anything in particular I can do?

thanks

This is how many TV discs store their episodes and playlist them in "episode groups". Just use MakeMKV to rip the file containing all the episodes, and then use a free tool like MLVToolnix to split them apart after the correct chapters so they'll be individual episodes. There is a guide here on the Plex forums for dealing with this exact, very common issue. https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-splittin ... gui/108396

Thank you, but then the fastest thing is to take single m2ts and process them with MKVToolnix. (so at least I have no risk of making unwanted cuts or having audio/video clipping)

Too bad, I thought MakeMKV would work.

That will work if MKVToolnix can handle the files. MakeMKV needs to be used first in the case of encrypted/protected media. I've never had a problem with clipping myself as my media has always put chapter markers between episodes that will cut perfectly.
