Super novice question

[tcharp]

So, after a bunch of help from Billy, I run the MakeMKV thing on my Ghost in the Shell 4K UHD disc. It seemed to work fine, but seems to have created 3 slightly different sized copies of the same movie. They all seem to play, but I am sort of curious about why this might be happening. I ran it with the default 120 second skip criteria which I have now changed to be 30 seconds, but this little desktop box had a time with this one

Maybe you can see them here, but I haven't been having a lot of luck with getting screenshots to appear in these messages. (edit: Well, you can't see the screenshot. It created three 52.8 GB .mkv files. All seem to play fine, but they are all a few MB different in size.) I mean, I sure don't need 150gigs of this movie. Which is the best one to save and watch?

Thanks everyone

You mean like it created three 52.8G MKV files out of one disc in a single rip? Or multiple rips with different versions of MakeMKV? Or multiple rips with the same version of MakeMKV?

but they are all a few MB different in size

What about the video length?

P.S. Please upload your screenshot somewhere else and provide a link here. We can't see attachments.

The version I kept was 1:26:23 in terms of duration, but that was regular Bluray, not 4k. I'm guessing one is the "Japanese" version, other is ENG, and third is... I don't something else that helps sync language a bit better.

Which to keep? Depends if you are a subs or dubs person. I bet if you scroll through the movies a bit you'd notice one has the opening/ending credits in English, the other in Japanese, maybe some signs are also changed up & translated.

It created three approximately 52.8GB viewable MKV files on a single rip.

According to this, the duration of all the files is the same as well as the bitrate.

Thank you
