How to rip chronological version of "Memento"

[Grauhaar]

Do you know a program that doesn't?

Unfortunately no

EDIT: While MKVToolNix was displaying the wrong size and gave a time estimate that was wayy to long

I think it's very hard to calculate the size for the fragments of an m2ts file. The complete size of the m2ts file is known, what what space is needed to the 45 fragments? You have the in-out time to calculate the length of the fragment, but you never know the size of the fragment before reading it.

Okay so MKVToolNix finished, and it actually gave me a .mkv file containing the chronological version! However, for some reason only the music can be heard on all speakers, everything else (voice and all other sounds) are only on the left ear.

Also, VLC shows the runtime to be 8 hours 59 minutes, but when you actually watch it, huge segments are skipped so when the movie ends, the bar is also at the end.

Edit: Windows Explorer also shows the bitrate at 0, along with the wrong runtime...

What could have caused this? Did I miss some settings in MKVToolNix that I should have changed?

Looks like that MKVToolNIX can not handle this. The best is to create an ticket (Help- > Report a bug) against MKVToolnix that Moritz Bunkus can have a look at this.

I think I've stumbled on one of these as well. Inception comes with "Extraction Mode", where you can watch the movie and at various points throughout the film it will transition to a behind-the-scenes piece about the current scene. Or, you can watch those behind-the-scenes pieces strung together into one 45-minute bonus feature. I've found the relevant title on the disc but it's exactly the same as this Memento cut: it's simply segments of the three-hour "Extraction Mode" version of the movie, not a normal branched playlist.

Why can't MakeMKV handle this type of thing?

A bit late, and not for the Blu-ray but the UK DVD version has the 'Chronological Version' easily found when using MakeMKV...

MakeMKV rips always the complete specified m2ts file in an mpls. I think that's the reason why it is a duplicate to the other playlist
