@ferday,
from what i understand it does not work with ISOs. But that would be the smallest problem.
And i don't see anywhere something about chapters - just timecode...
But it is not that i did not try something.
I already wrote about it in my other thread. I copy it from there:
I extracted a SpongeBob DVD and used "auto create particles" and
that gave me ifo file type entries (not vob).
The problem is that they stutter or play to fast and are not jump-able (video seekbar).
Its not a JR problem cause i checked it in MPC and there it also doesn't work if i open the
vob files there. If i open the whole DVD (video_ts) folder and select the episode from
the DVD menu then everything is ok.
I remember i recognized that before on some DVDs and has to do how the authoring is done.
If i use the video_ts folder in MPC i can jump to the title/chapters with "Navigate > Jump to > Title"
without problems.
Some DVDs are really a mess. 1 VOB is not automatically 1 episode.
They start in the middle of an episode, they have 2 and a half episode in the VOB...
I did not check how the "Masters of the Universe" is done where you have Orko's Fun Facts
about the episodes. Especially this DVDs are something where i want the menu and
no mkv.
Hey i live in the German city where Mattel made them (also Big Jim and Barbie),
so no way i destroy the menu *lol
I converted the Smurf DVDs to mkv cause the episodes are not in the right order and
the menu was nothing special i wanted to keep.
They have a "play all" in the menu and you can pick if you want the 1980s TV intro
on the episodes or the stupid new one.
So they did put two 2GB vobs on the DVD - all episodes merged together and one
for each intro.
The have every episode twice on there - for every intro one file.
But they also have just the two intros separated on the disc.
On the SpongeBob DVD the VOBs start somewhere, and as i said do not work individually.
Don't know if MakeMKV can handle that. Guess i need to check.
EditOk, i did read the wiki again sentence by sentence. So it should work.
I try it later with another DVD but first i think some other thing needs to get fixed: path
My path is: "\\HECTOR\Hive\HT\TV Shows Anime\SpongeBob Schwammkopf\[2] Zeitreise (2006)\VIDEO_TS"
So i drag and drop the VIDEO_TS folder to JR.
The filename of this ifo that shows up is the then:
"\\HECTOR\Hive\HT\TV Shows Anime\SpongeBob Schwammkopf\[2] Zeitreise (2006)\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.dvd;1"
Now i do the auto particle thing and the filename stays and is the same for all titles.
And now the funny things.
The first time after this medical procedure (lol) i tried to play title1 what should be all episodes in one movie.
The player came up and there was loading the whole time.
I managed to close it and saw that the path was now:
"\\HECTOR\Hive\HT\TV Shows Anime\SpongeBob Schwammkopf\
(2006)\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.dvd;1"
I tried the whole procedure again but removed the [2] from my folder (sure did first remove the old stuff from JR).
This time i had stuff like "Title 1", "Title 2" and so on in the filename tag.
I thought ok maybe its by design and how stuff gets handled internally by JR.
But again loading forever after trying to play the file AND a nearly total freeze of my PC.
Brining up taskmanager with the keyboard did work but no chance to end JR cause
it was not possible to select anything with the mouse except switching in the taskbar.
Edit 2Ok, i did a He-Man test and the videos play without stuttering.
I get "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Title 25" up to 52.
All have the path "\\HECTOR\Hive\HT\TV Shows Anime\He-Man and the Masters of the Universe\Season 2 (1984) [DVD]\Vol.1 - DVD1\VIDEO_TS\"
except Title 25 where "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" is just "\\"
