Newbie: preview titles somehow possible?

[Arnoud (from NL)]

Hi, I am new to MakeMKV. I made a few MKV's from blue ray discs and it works great. Started doing this because I bought a Nvidia Shield Android TV. I am running into the following issue. It is all about titles and what they represent.

For most discs I want the main movie, the TrueHD track, the subtitles and the bonus material.

For 90% of the discs this works simple since the main movie is the largest file and then you just count the bonus materials and these are the smaller titles.

I am still using the 120 second threshold since otherwise you also get a lot of menu rubbish etc.

I am now however also running into discs where there are relevant titles below 120 seconds.

I do have two questions.

1. Is it somehow possible to set the threshold very low and see what the titles is about before clicking it? Like a viewer that uses the same title numbering etc. or so?
2. Is there a logic in the title numbering on a disc? What I now every time have to do is rip the whole thing. Then go into every individual MKV file and determine what it is and rename the MKV file. I rather see that beforehand and get the naming right from the start.

Hope you understand my question?

The "solution" I use is to set the threshold low (30 seconds) and rip everything. Then I can view what is saved using VLC, and decide what requires further processing (I use handbrake to shrink the files) and what can be disposed of immediately (really, most "extras" are "view and forget" anyway).

Yes, you CAN set MakeMKV to act as an intermediate program to allow other software to play the contents of a DVD or BD. But it doesn't always work, and it takes longer than just ripping everything.

OK thanks.
