makemkvcon: how to extract multi-angle tracks

[Joril]

I have some discs with multi-angle tracks. If I extract those in the MakeMKV UI, only the first angle of a track is selected by default, but I can select the other ones for extraction.

How can I achieve this with the command-line tool? It seems only the first angle gets extracted when I use it like this:
makemkvcon64 -r mkv iso:disc.iso all dest_folder

Sorry for the necro-post, but I was unable to find this information available anywhere else.

As mentioned above, only the first multi-angle track is extracted using this command:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon64 --noscan --robot --messages=logfile.txt mkv iso:disc.iso all dest_folder

The other multi-angle tracks must be extracted individually, using this command:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon64 --noscan --robot --messages=logfile.txt mkv iso:disc.iso title dest_folder

where "title" is the title number from the disc info, which is given by this command:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon64 --noscan --robot --messages=discinfo.txt info iso:disc.iso

The discinfo.txt contains lines like this (from the Star Trek Original Series Season 1 Disc 2 Bluray):

Code: Select all

The "TINFO" lines are the Title information. The line format is:

Code: Select all

TINFO:<title_number>,<attribute_number>,<unknown_number>,<value>

Where <title_number> is the "title" value to use in the command above. Some useful <attribute_numbers> are:

Code: Select all

15: Angle number
16: Bluray playlist (mpls) or file (m2ts)
24: DVD title number
27: Output filename (controlled by setting in Preferences screen, Advanced tab, "Output file name template" field)
30: The text shown in the MakeMKV GUI for the title

Using the first command above, only angle 1 of 00000.mpls is extracted (title number 0). To extract angle 2 of 00000.mpls (title number 1), this command must be used:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon64 --noscan --robot --messages=logfile.txt mkv iso:disc.iso 1 dest_folder
