'dgdemux' it's a program which is very good with seamless branching discs and gives you many options. I've finally found a program which does exactly what we're looking for.
Thank you do much for posting your methods, it's very much appreciated. Possibly there is a more elegant way of doing this, but the resuling mkv's are perfect down to the very last frame. So suppose the correct run-time turns out to be something like 4550.216 seconds, I was then able to use ffmpeg to pull a perfect mkv, using something likeįfmpeg -i "input.mkv" -t 4550.216 -c:v copy -c:a copy "output name.mkv" However, I noticed that ffprobe was reporting the exact duration for the correct run time as well as the incorrect extended duration including the black screen (the duration that vlc player, kodi etc use). So even if I get the exact timestamp of the last key frame using ffprobe, the resulting mkv will be slightly clipped, as the remaining non-key frames are dropped (a fade-out on the title at the end). As far as I can tell, mkvtoolnix will only split on a key frame.
Getting rid of the redundant black screen playback at the end was more challenging. Getting rid of the pre-title test card on every episode was easy, as I could just split before chapter 2 and get an mkv with a clean start to the actual video. I had hoped that using mkvtoolnix to process the mpls file would work, but unfortunately the audio sync was way off.
Mkvtoolnix split by chapter how to#
In lieu of an update to makemkv that fixes this I went back to my Columbo Series 1 bluray to see how to fix it, and am posting the following in case helpful. I've also seen a few with coloured bars and even what seems to be jumbled up video just before the main presentation starts. I've come across a few movies of late with extra m2ts attached to the file with nothing but black video. I did look at the 'Chapter List' tab to get an idea of what numbers to use but even though it labels the title card as '0' I still needed to tell MKVToolNix to split before chapter '2' as the splitting tool seems to start counting from 1 anyway.ĭoes anyone know whether this problem is going to be fixed. So for my blu-ray of The Expanse Series 2 where the episodes rip with the title card AND some extra video on the end of the file it's then as easy as entering "2,6" in the box and I get three output files - the title cards, the actual episode, and the extra garbage on the end of the file.
Thanks for this set of instructions, one thing I did note is it's actually easier to use the split mode 'Before chapters' and simply put in a comma separated list of splits. The resulting MKV will be exactly the same as before but with the Chapter 0 removed.
In Parts enter the time range to keep so for this example 00:01:30-01:47:50 Select Split Mode: By parts based on timestamps
Mkvtoolnix split by chapter movie#
In chapter Editor make a note of the start time of Chapter 1 and the end time of the last Chapter for example a movie has Chapter 1 starts at 00:01:30 and the movie ends 01:47:50 - each mkv will be different. Start MKVToolNix, load the MKV into the Multplexer and Chapter Editor. In each case I've noticed the MKV has a Chapter 0 with the extra video at the start.įor anyone wanting to remove Chapter 0 from the MKV then I've found MKVToolNix can do this quite easily:
