That doesn't help much because there's 3 different versions of the 'full' movie, all hovering around 27GB,So Blu-ray discs are either 25GB or 50GB, at least typically. Is there any sort of tagging/metadata handling software for videos? Especially batch jobs for the TV shows, and movie bonus features. Anyone have any setting recommendations for DVD->h.264 transparency?įinally, I'm pretty good at tagging music files. I don't want to lose any visual quality but I'm going to have to transcode them to something more efficient. So it looks like I'm going to have to find out how to cut up the files by chapter.Īlso, I'm going to run out of space if I leave all the DVD rips in native MPEG-2 format (even once I figure out the multi-size de-duplication issue). Any pointers?ĭVDs of TV shows are also yielding sometimes 4 files per disc, usually two 45 minute episodes and then variously sized supersets of episodes (a 1.5 hour combinnation and a 3 hour combination being pretty common). It's a lot to sort through manually, especially finding which version is just the film in English and which are the special features I want to keep. Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse is giving me like three different files of approximately the entire movie (some slightly different in size or runtime), and 2 dozen smaller files. Then I just tried using the 'make MKV' option in MakeMKV, and I'm getting flooded with sometimes dozens of files to deal with even after it culls anything shorter than a minute. That did work, exactly once, and never again on the other rips! Which meant I had to go back and re-rip half my stuff.

The project is getting bogged down by counter-intuitive ripping results, though.įirst I thought I could just press the Backup button and get a digital folder that I could feed to Handbrake. I use 'Roku' presets for transcoding and whichever resolution I want. So right now my workflow is to put in the disc, rip it with MakeMKV, if it's a DVD leave it and if it's BR then send to Handbrake.
