When I run makemkv with Equalizer 2, I get 2 features. One has FPL_mainfeature_VAM and the other is FPL_mainfeature_GIP.

Which one do I select?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Happy holidays!

VAM has director and actor video comments thru out the film. GIP is just the movie.

I have a question about this movie. When I play the movie it shows 16 chapters, but when I rip the movie and select the GIP movie it shows 51 chapters. It appears to play correctly, but just curious why it rips so many chapters.

When I rip The Eq 2, there are 2 MPLS files that are the only 2 real choices. 00425.mpls = 30.5GB and 00427.mpls=26.9GB.

Any idea which of the 2 is the correct MPLS? I tried googling, but no luck.

427 is GIP and is the one you want

It looks like MakeMKV 1.14.2 finds two playlists with the same segment map:
Title 00423.mpls is equal to title 00427.mpls and was skipped
and skips the right (00423.mpls) one in favor of the one with 51 chapters (00427.mpls):
Title information
Name: Equalizer 2 (English)
Comment: FPL_MainFeature_GIP
Source file name: 00427.mpls
Duration: 2:00:57
Chapters count: 51
Size: 26.9 GB
Segment count: 24
Segment map: 414,379,380,381,382,383,384,385,386,387,388,389,390,391,392,393,394,395,396,397,398,399,400,401
File name: Equalizer 2-FPL_MainFeature_GIP_t28.mkv
If there's a way to configure MakeMKV NOT to skip "duplicates", I haven't found it -- maybe someone else with more experience does?

Are VAM and GIP some standard abbreviations, or is this only valid for "Equalizer 2"?

Good question. I would like to know too.

I find the chapters a bit weirdly placed for the GIP non-commentary version, and chapter 42 seems to be rather large in the middle:
