Which Title Is the Real Title?

Post by mitch8 »

After running the MakeMKV application on a dvd, I was presented with 18 titles to select to be ripped to a *.mkv file. 8 of the titles looked like good possibilities - they were about 4.7 GB in size with about 17 chapters. How does one decide which title to select in order to 'capture' the movie? Doing them all seems a tad overkill not to mention the cost of time to do it this way.

Any advice or suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

TIA,
Mitch

Asking this question without providing the name of the disk is rather pointless - Lionsgate changes it constantly, depending on where you buy the disk, and even when.

Hi Woodstock.

I meant my question to be generic, hoping in the future I could figure out the answer by myself. The disk I just 'ripped' was a dvd of Robin Hood; and I believe the answer to my question in this particular case is title_t00.mkv. But I was hoping for some 'formula' or process I could use for future reference.

There are certain general rules. Rule one, if it's distributed by Lionsgate, it's a pain to deal with. Most others, simple.
