Chuck complete series

[brewder]

Hello,

LONG time MakeMKV user (movies)....Brand new to ripping TV Series. I received Chuck Seasons 1-5 on BD.. In a nutshell, can I just rip the largest file on each disc, then use MKVToolNix to split it up into the individual episodes somehow?

I believe Chuck has individual playlists for each each episode, so you would rip each episode individually (in general, the only releases I've ever seen consistently not behave this way are some Anime releases where there isn't a per episode playlist, just a single one and the menus jump you via chapters to the right spot.

The season 2 disc in the complete series box set I bought has all of its episodes run together into a single title. Here are the commands to break them up into individual episodes:

Code: Select all

 mkvmerge -o s2d1-part.mkv --split chapters:08,15,22,29,36 s2d1.mkv
 mkvmerge -o s2d2-part.mkv --split chapters:09,17,24,31,38 s2d2.mkv
 mkvmerge -o s2d3-part.mkv --split chapters:08,15,22,30,37 s2d3.mkv
 mkvmerge -o s2d4-part.mkv --split chapters:09,17,25       s2d4.mkv
