These will be numbered - 101.m2ts, 102.m2ts, etc. Closing the scene file will add a log entry in Procmon. As the player software moves from scene to scene, it will close the current scene file and open the next. Then fast forward through the whole movie. Clear any Procmon logs right after you start playing. Now fire up the Blu-ray player software and start playing the movie. However, if there’s not, you can figure it out yourself with some Blu-ray player software and Procmon.įire up Procmon and set the filter to the standard exclusions (the default) and then… Usually the MakeMKV forums will have someone who has already figured out the right playlist and will have posted it. If you rip the wrong one, the movie plays out of order and doesn’t make sense. Each of these copies differs by the order of the scenes. One copy protection tactic that companies may use to make it hard to rip the movie is “playlist obfuscation.” When you load the movie up in MakeMKV, it may appear there are tens or hundreds of copies of the same movie. This metadata is usually not what you want and can be confusing if you try adding it to Plex later.īefore pushing a converted video to Plex, update the file properties to remove (or update) any metadata that was added by MakeMKV and Handbrake during the conversion process. I found that movies ripped with MakeMKV and later converted with a tool like Handbrake will sometimes bring along metadata like the movie title. I ended up paying since I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth. You do have to re-visit the forums occasionally to get a new beta key for the product, but that’s not too hard. MakeMKV has been in beta for a very long time and is free during the beta period. It does no conversion like Handbrake but is good at preserving original content and cherry-picking audio tracks for later conversion. MakeMKV is a great free tool for ripping DVD and Blu-ray content.
