Hello,

as you know, the episodes in some dvd are merged together.

so you need to use other app to separate them.

is it difficult to fix this in makemkv?

and thank you for this amazing software.

MakeMKV won't help - it's got large files, and the software wasn't designed to split them, just rip them.

MKVtoolnix can break them up according to their chapters. Also, if you process with handbrake, you can tell it which chapter range to include in the output file, which is my usual way of dealing with them.

It's not just DVDs that do this, but there are some wild combos found out there. The most I've encountered so far is 56 episodes on one BD.
