1st answer then. mkvtoolnix will take an .mp4 (or .mkv) input, split on chapter & output to individual .mkv files.

There's probably a tool that can do it in one pass, but since .mkv/,mp4 are just containers, I'd create the split .mkvs w/ mkvtoolnix & quickly remux back to .mp4 w/ ffmpeg... which would take a few extra seconds.

It's up to the disc author.

mkvtoolnix can be used to split (on chapter) into individual episodes.

Thanks a lot, d00zah. Your batch script works great and makes my life so much easier. I can*t be grateful enough that you took your time to create this for me. It*s really amazing :) You're most welcome, but if I'm being honest, it's something that's been on my 'to do' list for far too long. You pr...

Thanks for your helpful reply. Now I know how the format should look like and I didn*t know that chapter archive website before. I wish I had the skills to program a chapter format converter and do this in batch I found a software called ChapterMaker but it seems to not be able to accomplish what I...

mkvtoolnix requires a specific format to import chapters... either .xml, or .txt (examples attached). Specify on the right-hand side of the 'Output' tab.

Apologies. Bad vision day...old eyes. Reflex upon seeing "The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted". Although insuring internet access is enabled, per FAQ, is still a good idea.

Email dumps to svq@makemkv.com & read through the UHD FAQ linked below.

Well, your example was a Disney release & this rule applied. In other cases, like Lionsgate releases, MANY false playlists are displayed... playlist obfuscation... What is the correct play list [insert title here]? In yet other cases, it may be that the disc includes different versions of the fi...

There CAN be reasons for this other than no key available. IF resubmitting dump doesn't work, look to other potential issues.

Fixing Volume Key is Unknown

General 'rule of thumb' regarding (NA) Disney releases: 00800.mpls - English intro/credits 00801.mpls <> 00802.mpls - Spanish <> French intro/credits (don't recall which is which) These 'other' language options will vary by release region. The other title may be a different 'angle', w/ subtle differ...
