Worked great but made dozens of files?

Post by neosii »

Hi guys, I may be doing something obviously wrong here but I ran the software and it "ripped" my Gladiator DVD, but when I go the destination folder, instead of one nice MKV file, I have 59 mkv's ?

Title1.mkv all the way to title49.mkv

Is there a setting somewhere I screwed up on, what I'm trying to do is to rip my Blue Rays and have it create 1 large MKV file.

Hi!

One of the "Titles" (check the running time listed - typically the longest) should represent the movie in its entirety - and would make one .MKV.

The other .MKVs would typically be individual "Extras" from the disc, e.g. trailers, interviews with cast and crew, "behind the scenes"/"the making of" videos, deleted scenes, extended scenes, alternate endings, etc.

Ahh :-)

Got it, although strangely I have two massive files both seem to be the whole film..

I guess perhaps one might be the directors cut or something.

Thanks, though, makes sense now.

I don't suppose there's anyway to cut the process really short and tell it to only create the main film without bothering decoding all the guff?

Also , what "Res" does it make the MKV at?

For example I have a blue ray disk at 1920x1200 I guess, I would like my rips to be perfect quality, I'm not concerned about disk space etc, I just want em ripped to my hard drive for easy access using Plex software.

I don't really want to lose any quality and have a lower res.

After MakeMKV completes its initial brief (analytical) pass of your Blu-ray disc and has listed all "Titles" all with checkmarks, RIGHT click anywhere in the titles window to UNSELECT/UNCHECK ALL TITLES.

Then LEFT click (places a checkmark) on the title that you've determined is the main movie. As a result, this will be the only title processed.

Also , what "Res" does it make the MKV at?
The .MKV of your Blu-ray's main movie will be the same as that of the original disc - typically 1920x1080...
