For example, sometimes there'll be a neat documentary, but on the actual disc it's split up into multiple featurettes for some reason. The special features listed on the Blu-Ray case don't always match up 1:1 with what's on the discs. (Trivia: as far as I can tell this is just a clever authoring trick, the episode videos don't actually get copied to the disc twice same with the movie track issue above.) You'll be able to tell this pretty easily in MakeMKV because one track will be way larger than the others. Behind the scenes, when the disc is authored, a track is created that just combines the tracks of each individual episode into a new track. This one's easy to spot, thankfully: this usually happens when a disc provides a "Play All" feature. Sometimes episodes of a TV show will show up TWICE on the disc. I usually just pick the first one or the one that has chapters, if the other track doesn't. But sometimes this just happens and the audio tracks appear to be exactly the same languages, so I don't know. The best explanation I've seen for this is that Blu-Ray players will automatically select one track or the other depending on what region the Blu-Ray is, because they'll have different audio tracks on each one usually Japanese is separated from European/English languages for whatever reason. This is a weird phenomenon that happens with movies sometimes. Sometimes a movie track will show up TWICE on the disc. You can probably delete this unless you're a completionist. Interactive tracks like picture slideshows and whatnot also show up as tracks, and don't really play properly. Usually but not always easy to distinguish from actual content you care about. I haven't found any sets where they change the order IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET so you can probably assume that the order on disc 1 is the same as the order on subsequent discs, but this is incredibly annoying.īlu-Ray sets love to add video to their menus these show up as tracks. Why? Who the fuck knows? But you'll have to play each of the tracks to find out! This is often the case, but not always the case! Sometimes episodes are in the OPPOSITE order. Simple, right? They just go in authoring order, so a disc with episodes 1-6 would have track 1 = episode 1, track 2 = episode 2, etc., right? WRONG. You'll usually get multiple episodes per disc, so now you have to identify and label which tracks go with which episodes. But movies with a lot of special features will require you to sort out which supplements are which, assuming you want to keep them if not, then you'll just need to identify with track has the movie, which is usually but not always easy (more on that later)! This is usually not a huge issue for movies, especially barebones releases with few or no supplements (the one time you'll thank your lucky stars for a publisher cheaping out). There are a few obstacles here that you'll need to clear, though none of them are difficult from a tech perspective:īlu-Ray and DVD titles are unlabelled. 9.This is the part of the process that I would consider the most time-consuming and annoying BY FAR.No referral / affiliate links, personal voting / campaigning / funding, or selling posts Welcome to /r/Plex, a subreddit dedicated to Plex, the media server/client solution for enjoying your media!
