VIDEO_TS.VOB file: the first-play Video Object of the DVD-Video disc, usually a copyright notice or a menu.VIDEO_TS.BUP file: the backup copy of the VIDEO_TS.IFO file.VIDEO_TS.IFO file: the Video Manager information file- stores control and playback information for the entire DVD.VIDEO_TS directory: stores all data for the DVD-Video.AUDIO_TS directory: empty or not present on DVD-Video discs contains files only on DVD-Audio discs.So not the individual Video_TS, or VTS_xx_x files.Ī title may actually be spread over multiple files, so a file does not represent a track (see also this Wiki page).Ī DVD volume for the DVD-Video format has the following structure of directories and files: With Handbrake you select the entire DVD as a source, and then the “title” option in Handbrake then allows you select a specific “track” or “title”. It looks like you’re talking about the individual files of a DVD (Video_TS etc) and not the actual titles (or tracks) of the DVD. Unfortunately, I do not have a DVD-Rom drive or DVDs any more, so it is difficult to verify this. I had no problems with the episodes after this. Of course, once they’re compressed, they larger files from MakeMKV can be deleted. So the only differences between using Handbrake alone and MakeMKV first is that you add an extra step and you might need a bit of extra room on your hard drive. This way you can line it up and leave the area. While the first “track01” is compressing, click Open Source -> find specific file (second option) -> select destination folder -> Add to Queue. For doing multiple tracks (such as episodes in a TV show), a lot of time can be saved by Adding to Queue once it starts. Barely any compromise to quality, and it moved it from a gig down to a much more manageable 70MB or so (1000 MB in a gig).ģ. Ran it through Handbrake to compress (Open Source -> find file (second option) from MakeMKV -> select destination folder -> Start Encode). However, the files directly off the DVD with MakeMKV were large. Downloaded the five separate episodes per DVD. It did an incredible job of identifying the real and fake tracks. Not only did MakeMKV solve the Season 15 Jumping Track problem, when I did the Windows Media Player trick to find the tracks for season 14, the tracks it identified and I therefore ripped didn’t have audio. I did indeed try the MakeMKV, and it solved the Jumping Track problem.
