Hi gang:
I’ve read the forums and can’t find anything particular for these items, so I’d love advice on the best way to manage these scenarios:
-
Movies with chapters: if I rip a DVD or Blu-Ray, right now I do the main feature as one big MP4 because chapters just don’t seem to behave. Is there a way to rip with chapter markers inserted into the one file? Or with Plex able to understand that a chunk of files is chapter 1-2-3, etc.? I’ve seen how you can name files -pt1, -pt2, etc., but that help article also says it’s limited to 8 “parts” and some movies have 20+ chapters to them.
-
Commentaries: right now it looks like the way to rip commentaries is to do another rip of the main features, but select the commentary audio track only. So…once that’s done, how to name the file so Plex knows? The Matrix Blu-ray for example has four possible commentaries.
-
Episodes of series: Red Vs Blue on Blu-Ray rips the episodes to one big file. If I use the naming convention “S00E01-E99”, Plex very nicely separates out thumbnails for each episode, but launching any of them just launches the one big file, from the beginning. So what’s the best way to take content like that and have it able to play just a particular episode?
I’ve been having a great time ripping my content so my family and I can easily watch anything, any time. I’d just like to get details like these ironed out to perfect what I’ve got with Plex so far. Thanks!
