Cells automatically deleted from MKV file.

[Rysiek180]

Hi,

I have a problem with ripping one particular DVD with very important stuff for me. MakeMKV automatically deletes cells from the output video, which results in 10 minutes of the video missing. How do I force the program to keep all of the DVD content?

How about ripping the DVD with DVD Shrink to ISO and only then making an mkv out of it? Maybe the results will differ.

Hi, @Chetwood

I made the ISO with DVD Shrink but results are the same.
I was wondering if somehow I could force these cells to be present on the final video via PRO mode, but there is very little about its syntax and I have no idea how to take care of it.

Thanks,

Sorry, neither do I.

What happens if you use MakeMKV to make a decrypted backup of the disc? Recent versions of MakeMKV have started supporting that for DVDs. I think you'll end up with a .iso file.

Rather than 'auto', try manually setting different DVD opening modes - CellWalk, CellTrim, CellFull

Try Manual DVD mode
