Combine chapters from a DVD?

[paulehoffman]

I have some educational DVDs with multiple chapters. When I run makemkv, it always saves each chapter as a separate .mkv file. Is there a way to say "please save all of these as one big mkv"?

This is actually a case where you have multiple one-chapter titles. MakeMKV operates on the "title" level, rather than chapter level.

So, no, there is no way to tell treat the collection as one title, unless the disk authors also included a "play all" title.

There are, however, tools available to chain the files together after they're ripped.

Drat. There is no "play all". But that makes sense.

Such as...?
