Mutliple Titles for the same movie

Post by steff517 »

Usually, when I open a blu ray in MakeMKV it lists one large title (~20-30GB) and a couple of smaller ones. I pick the largest one (main movie) and copy it.
With some discs, I have multiple titles around that size. They mostly are of the exact same size (~100mins) and length but sometimes they differ by 1-2mins. When I export all of them, they all look like the main move at the first blush.
Why is that and how do I figure out which one is the correct one?

Cheers,
Steff

Chances are they are all the main movie, just different versions.

When I was working with Terminator 2-The Skynet Edition, it has three versions of the movie - Theatrical, Special, and Skynet.

I think I used a program called BDInfo to help figure out what was what. However that was a long time ago so I don't remember all the details.

Or you can check with IMDB to see what the runtime is for the feature as released and pick that one.

Thanks for the BDInfo hint. After some more research, I found out the difference. It's the language.
It's an animated movie and they have one version for each language with all written text replaced.
It would be good to have a better support in makeMKV to select the right one. At least a preview of the playlist. Better would be if I could see the list of M2TS files linked by the playlist and preview them seperatly.
Do I need to submit a feature request or is this discussion enough?

Cheers,
Steff
