Whitney correct title/vts

If you set MakeMKV settings "minimum title length" to 1800 then you'll get 6 titles. You'll get title 33, length 2:00:12, title.03.mkv (4th one listed), and VTS_19.

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

One last comment on the time alignment issue. I ripped an .avi version of the DVD with DVD Decrypter & AutoGK and played that version next to the .mkv version that MakeMkV made and the time stayed in sync for the entire movie. Based on that the issue must be in the actual authoring of the movie ...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

FYI I edit and made a note in my prior post regarding Wonder. The title I ripped that matched the length of title 65 was the correct one. It turns out that the "jump to specific time" can be an issue when doing the compare. The total length of the movie when I play the disk, and when I pla...

Re: Ghost Stories (2017)

I just got the Netflix version and kind of odd but there is no obfuscation on the bluray (it just has 1 playlist).

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

These are the actual errors from trying to rip title00.mkv from Wonder, so if anyone knows what these mean please let me know. ------------------------------------------- Saving 1 titles into directory E:/Video/_WONDER_C36B Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:UNRECOVERED READ ERROR' occurred while read...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

OK last movie is Wonder which was commented on earlier that it would play different titles when ejected/reinserted. I noticed it jumped between chapters prior to getting to the actual DVD menu where you had to hit play to start the real movie (vs all the previews, warning, logo), but once you did th...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

OK, so ripping Chappaquiddick was a snap. Loaded disk, started VLC and it always plays Title 55. Start MakeMKV and Open the disc and the edited log is below. Title 55 shows a length of 1:46:29, and only 6 valid titles show in the main window after the disc open is complete. Out of those only 1 has a...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

Great suggestion, I changed my minimum title length and it cleaned up the 4 titles I mentioned in the previous post, so now I just get the "real" possible titles. My library also had Chappaquiddick and Wonder which are two other obfuscated titles. Going to try out the new procedure and see...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

I got one of these obfuscated disks from the library and have been playing around with it. The disc is "You Were Never Really Here", and if I open it on my PC with VLC to play it it always opens Title 33. It's not one of the disks that really messes with you by playing a different title ea...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

WMC is windows media center which uses windows media player as the default video player on Windows PCs. I was just wondering if it might be better than VLC in terms of giving the correct title. I'll have to wait till I get another obfuscated DVD to test all this stuff out. Are you saying VLC doesn't...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

Yes I have expert mode turned on. Are you saying VLC doesn't play the correct title sometimes for Lions Gate DVDs? That seems odd as you wouldn't be able to watch the DVD on your computer and surely people would complain about that. Or what about WMC does it always show the correct title? I have an ...

Re: Question on DVD obfuscation

The "open dvd manually" (from the old thread link you posted) is actually "open dvd files manually" if you go under the "File" menu, so this doesn't work with the actual DVD disc. You can click on that anyways with the disc and it gives a warning that it will probably f...
