Makemkv console 3D Bluray

[Thalhammer]

Hello,
I'm currently converting all of my blurays to mkv movies.
I came across some 3D content and don't know how to convert them to a MVC mkv.
For example: Titanic 3D
Mediainfo:

makemkvcon info:

Code: Select all

MakeMKV v1.10.0 linux(x64-release) started
The new version 1.10.1 is available for download at http://www.makemkv.com/download/
Using direct disc access mode
AACS directory not present, assuming unencrypted disc
File 00000.mpls was added as title #0
Operation successfully completed
Total 1 titles
Title  0
0 Video Mpeg4
1 Video Mpeg4 MVC 3D Extension
2 Audio DTS
3 Audio DTS-HD Master Audio
4 Audio DTS
5 Subtitles HDMV PGS Subtitles
6 Subtitles HDMV PGS Subtitles

So 3D IS detected correctly, but running "makemkvcon mkv iso:Titanic.iso all ."
Only rips out title 0, which is not MVC.
Explicitly selecting title 1 does nothing.

How can I select the MVC option in commandline ?
I found this help on commandline usage a long time ago, but it seems there are a lot of options in the gui which are missing in this help file.

No one a idea ?

Hi,

I am ochsi and I am new here.
I want to use makemkv on a headless system and was hoping to be able to copy the mvc part to. Unfortunately, like Thalhammer, I have not been able to find an option for this in makemkvcon.
Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
ochsi

OK, found it.

read http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4386 and http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic ... 435#p21435

essentially make a copy of /usr/share/MakeMKV/default.mmcp.xml to another folder and rename it to myprofile.xml or whatever you want.
edit the new file and change "-sel:mvcvideo" to "+sel:mvcvideo"

now call makemkvcon as usual but with the additional parameter "--profile:myprofile.xml"

I hope I'm not too late to this thread. Like many others on this forum I'm new to all this & still trying to figure it out. When I tried to follow the recommended steps

essentially make a copy of /usr/share/MakeMKV/default.mmcp.xml to another folder and rename it to myprofile.xml or whatever you want.
edit the new file and change "-sel:mvcvideo" to "+sel:mvcvideo"

the file opened in Notepad & was a bit of a mess. Is there a recommended program for editing mkv files?

I hope you mean '... for editing .xml files'? Try Wordpad.

It worked!!! Thank you!
