Any title can be forced to be non-fake, titles can be split by cell (or chapter) boundaries, in any order.ĭuring opening DVD disc in manual mode one has to enter a 'title selection string'. Any part of the disc can be assigned to any title in any order. The good part is that in this mode user has precise control over DVD layout interpretation. The bad part about this mode is that its usage requires advanced knowledge about DVD authoring. Starting from version 1.9.0 MakeMKV can open a DVD disc in a so-called manual mode. Sometimes the produced result is different from a desired one - title can be wrongly identified as fake, title order could be wrong, series episodes could show up as a single gigantic title. If you update your OS once the trial has expired, you get another 30 days (well, this was on Mac OS).During the DVD analysis phase MakeMKV has to make many decisions how to interpret contents of the disc - split video data to titles/chapters, remove duplicate title entries, detect and remove fake titles, skip portions of discs with mastering errors, etc. It's relatively expensive to buy, but you get a fully functioning demo for 30 days. most ripping software doesn't care about the disc region I have a couple of ruined rips that needed subtitles (Downfall, Black Book) but I didn't think to change the settings movies with a lot of grain tend to end up almost as large as the original bluray (some that caused me problems: Man of Steel, Saving Private Ryan, Life of Brian, MASH) as in 35GB for the movie ripped from bluray ended up being 20GB after conversion (and that takes a long time to do). I was working from home for a while and it took about 6 months to convert my libraries from DVD and Bluray to versions I could play back from a USB on a TV or dump into itunes to use with Apple TV. Conversion can be done when you're away from the machine since you can just cue up a bunch of things in Handbrake or whatever. Ripping in particular requires you to be around to swap discs. I ended up needing about 20TB for the rips and another 12 or so for the converted versionsĢ. Ripping 3D discs is really tricky (or I should say, there's no easy way to play them back as 3D)ġ. MakeMKV for ripping, something like Handbrake for converting to another format for easy streaming (or just stream from the MKVs) You'll need lots and lots of hard drives for a big collection
