Death Note - Not All Titles Showing

[Noah0504]

Trying to rip Death Note: The Complete Series Blu-ray set I picked up this past weekend. I've tried the first two discs, but it doesn't appear all of the titles on the disc are showing. I get the combined episode title and then a couple of the individual episodes, but that's it. Not sure what's causing it. Anyone else have this set?

Title #00001.mpls has length of 0 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped

Title #00007.m2ts has length of 50 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #00005.m2ts has length of 50 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Operation successfully completed

The combined title has a segment map of: 12,13,14,15,0,1,2,16. Only 12 and 2 show in the list.

Would it be wise to try making a backup of the disc first?

Yes, at least one person here has this set.

Looking at my handbrake batch file for encoding Death Note, each disk had one combined title, and each episode within a title was 5 chapters long. The disks contained episodes 1-8, 9-16, 17-23, 24-30, and 31-37.

There is one subtitle track, containing all subtitles, none of which are flagged as "forced". The output from MakeMKV has 4 audio tracks, with the lossy DTS track being split out from the lossless DTS-HD track for compatibility.

Individual titles are really "extras", in that some of the episodes had commentary tracks available.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply.

Well, at least it's not just me! Did you end up splitting it into individual files or no? These episode will wind up in Plex, and it doesn't handle multi-episode files all that well.

I don't put anything on my media server before handbrake has had a change to shrink it. Anime BDs usually end up around 10-15% of their original file sizes, without going to an "aggressive" encode. So I have handbrake do the splitting.

Here are the first two lines of the batch file I used with the handbrake command line interface. The "chapter split" is highlighted in red:

title DeathNote HD01 & "C:\Program Files\Handbrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -i "Z:\Death Note\Death Note HD01-08.mkv" -t 1 -c 1-5 -o "V:\Anime\dubbed\Death Note\Death Note HD01.mkv" -f mkv --strict-anamorphic -e x264 -q 20 --cfr -a 1,2,1,3,4 -E faac,ffac3,copy:dtshd,faac,ffaac -B 160,640,0,160,160 -6 dpl2,dpl2,auto,dpl2,dpl2 -R Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto -D 0,0,0,0,0 --gain=0,0,0,0,0 --audio-copy-mask none --audio-fallback ffac3 --subtitle 1,1 --subtitle-forced=1 -x ref=1:weightp=1:subq=2:rc-lookahead=10:trellis=0:8x8dct=0 --verbose=1
title DeathNote HD02 & "C:\Program Files\Handbrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" -i "Z:\Death Note\Death Note HD01-08.mkv" -t 1 -c 6-10 -o "V:\Anime\dubbed\Death Note\Death Note HD02.mkv" -f mkv --strict-anamorphic -e x264 -q 20 --cfr -a 1,2,1,3,4 -E faac,ffac3,copy:dtshd,faac,ffaac -B 160,640,0,160,160 -6 dpl2,dpl2,auto,dpl2,dpl2 -R Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto,Auto -D 0,0,0,0,0 --gain=0,0,0,0,0 --audio-copy-mask none --audio-fallback ffac3 --subtitle 1,1 --subtitle-forced=1 -x ref=1:weightp=1:subq=2:rc-lookahead=10:trellis=0:8x8dct=0 --verbose=1

(The subtitle commands on each line is a trick I found for getting around some player software ALWAYS showing the first subtitle track found; it creates an empty track (because there are no forced subtitles) as the first track, and then leaves the original track as a second, switchable track.)

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the responses and info. Exactly what I needed.
