Double content with series

Post by energy4you »

When processing series, MakeMKV sometimes creates one big MKV file for the whole DVD containing all episodes in one file, and additionally single MKV files for each single episode. So the content is saved double. How to avoid the big MKV file containing all episodes together?

When you open the disk, it should be obvious when the authors did this - one file is much bigger than the others, and has as many chapters as the single episodes combined. Simply deselect that larger file.

I think he's using the command line...

MakeMKVCon INFO doesn't seem to output title lengths for BDs unless it skips them, that isn't right...

With "-r" it outputs everything as in GUI, even more.

OK then, if you don't mind reading through a bunch of junk you can use -r and amidst the mess it will output you'll find lines that look like this: TINFO:0,9,0,"0:44:05"

Of course even if it were easier to spot, you'll still have to write a command line that will extract only the titles you want, which is why you'd have to write a proper script for it or use the GUI in any case.
