I have run into several disks that use an obfuscation technique that creates a very large list of files that must be deselected. They can average around 100. This is a very tedious process to and the ability to de/select all would be very helpful

Try right-click on the list.

What does ldd on /usr/bin/makemkv show? For example: ldd /usr/bin/makemkv linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff869fa000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f5972200000) libQt5Widgets.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5 (0x00007f5971a00000) libQt5Gui.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5 (0x00007f5971...

MakeMKV has both "full backup" and "convert to MKV" functions.

To use full backup and get the BDMV folders, DO NOT click on the big disk image after inserting. Click on the little folder icon in the toolbar.

You can backup the BR to a BDMV folder structure. Then make an .iso from that with standard utilities.

On Linux I use mkisofs; I'm not sure about Mac.

Have you tried the different DVD opening modes as detailed here? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28541

Or, you might note the title numbers when playing with vlc and use manual opening mode in makemkv.

That is how the disk was authored. There is something in the menu's code that picks out the correct chapter range when selecting an episode in the DVD player. Why it is done that way sometimes and others not: I don't know. Something in the work flow or choices the operator made. Handbrake will pick ...

I use -q 18 on DVDs and -q 20 on Blu-rays. DVDs compress by a factor of 2-3x, but Blu-rays have a much wider range, from "just about nothing" to 10x and more. I have not found a Blu-ray that doesn't compress at 3:1 or better. Which titles are you seeing that do that? Very grainy sources. ...

Using Arch Linux here. I'm sure it is the same. You can do this in two ways: (1) Preferences -> Video. Select "Custom". There is a little browser icon to the right of the directory box; click on that and a standard finder dialog displays. (2) When you have actually opened a disk and are se...

Does MPC show the title number being played? (VLC does). If so, you can try Manual Mode and specify that title.

You might also experiment with Preferences -> Protection -> DVD structure protection removal method. Some new options were added recently.

You want all the chapters for each of the 4 titles? Then just listing the title numbers will do it:

1 2 3 4

Failing how? What exactly are you doing and what is happening?

The two types of subtitle were made by different people at different times. If the graphical subtitles are available then they are generally sufficient and you don't need the CC tracks. However, CC tracks do have one advantage: they are text-based and the player or display program has more flexibili...

I believe this is an error on my end. I found ccextractor was not working and when trying to rebuild it encountered the ffmpeg version problem described here: https://github.com/CCExtractor/ccextractor/issues/1418 I have a work-around as described above until this is fixed by ccextractor, just wante...
