Playlist Order for Blue-ray "The Disco Van Dyke Show"

Post by Fearless »

As most of you are aware, getting the order correct for ripped Blu-ray tv shows is difficult.

But after finding the method describe here -- Reliable Way to Determine Episode Orde ... =6&t=20327" -- I believe I am on track to successfully ripping and ordering a collection of Blu-ray discs for "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (5 seasons).

I started with Season One, Disc 1, and created a spreadsheet to capture the data loaded in from the the disc into MakeMKV, and the result is below in a table. I will add more info on subsequent discs as I get them done.

Basically, the first set of .mpls files -- 00000.mpls thru 00011.mpls -- represent the show episode files, close to the correct order, which means you need to rename the ripped .mkv files for each appropriately, as E01-E11.

For example, this naming scheme should work to make the order correct:
  • t18.mkv becomes S01E01.mkv
  • t16.mkv becomes S01E02.mkv
  • t15.mkv becomes S01E03.mkv
..."and so on, and so forth, and what have you."... (who can guess that TV show reference?!)

Code: Select all

EDIT - March 14, 2024:
1)  Added additional columns "EPISODE # / COMMENT" and "EPISODE TITLE".
2)  Also, I noticed that the sequence of playlist files in this first batch were not accurate, with a couple extra episode versions
    certainly throwing things off (the 2 versions with a commercial) and some other episodes out of order.  This batch really took
    reviewing each to make sure the episode #'s were assigned properly.

Code: Select all

Thanks! That's really helpful even though it only works for some discs. Have you finished any other seasons?

In case anyone else is looking, the URL reliable way thread seems to be broken. It should be viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20327.
