Operation 'success' but no output file when ripping DVD?

Post by jvanns » Mon May 19, 2014 9:56 pm

Hi. This seems like a bit of an odd one but it appears that with DVDs, makemkvcon does not actually write any output file when I specify a title! This is when in 'copy' mode ala 'makemkvcon mkv'. For example, I have the box set of Jeeves and Wooster and I wish to rip episode 2 from the disc which is title 5 (according to the Apple OS X player and confirmed with Handbrake). I specify title 5 and although no error is printed to the screen and makemkvcon tells me 'Operation successful' it does not say 'Saving 1 files to disc' or whatever and sure enough there is no file! But no error message or error code returned to the shell either! What gives!? It seems to just ignore the title number I've given it? Does it ignore it due to some rule perhaps? Whats more is that title 4 (episode 1 following from the above example) is ripped fine and the output file is there. makemkvcon doesn't expect the directory to be empty or something silly does it!?

Any hints for me to fix this? I can't confirm whether this is specific to DVDs or whether Blurays are affected in the same way.
