![]() I actually key in the segment numbers appearing in ProcMon into Notepad as the movie plays in the background so I'm ready to easily search for the segment map in this next step. Now, go find the playlist in MakeMKV that matches the example segment map of 520,530,523 and start ripping that playlist.Īll of the below stuff is optional, but it can come in handy when there are hundreds of playlists to sort through. Some movies only have 1 segment, others can have a very large number of segments. Let's say your list of rows in the ProcMon window shows file names of 00520.m2ts, 00530.m2ts, and 00523.m2ts. ![]() Look at the ending file name and drop the leading zeroes and the. Under the "Path" column it will have a value like "D:\BDMV\STREAM\ 00520.m2ts". Look at each line/row in order from top to bottom. Ignore or remove any additional entries that may have populated in ProcMon that showed after the credits ended because that's just the disc going back to playing junk/menus.Īssuming you set up your filters correctly and were capturing events as the movie played, you would have seen that once PowerDVD had finished playing a segment of the movie, an event would be added in the ProcMon window showing which file (segment) was played. Stop logging events in ProcMon (File>Capture Events) immediately after the credits finish and the last segment shows in ProcMon. Now as the movie is playing, hit the fast forward button in PowerDVD and put it on max speed 32x fast forward. This clears all the initial garbage we don't need or care about that we already sat through (previews, menus, warnings, studio logos/intros, etc.). Immediately after hitting play on the main menu and you see the actual movie playing, just clear the contents of the ProcMon window (Edit>Clear Display). Get past all of the initial junk until you get to the main menu. Now, start capturing events in ProcMon (File>Capture Events).įire up PowerDVD. In the middle section titled "Event Details" make sure you put a check in the box for "Path" then click OK. If you do not, RIGHT-click on any column header and choose "Select Columns.". mpls!)Ĭheck to see if you have a column header titled "Path" showing in ProcMon. (works for PowerDVD.exe, WinDVD.exe, etc.)ģ. It is similar to those YouTube videos, but you are getting the actual segment map, not a faked. Unfortunately, that method is dated and is not always accurate anymore because PowerDVD accesses random playlists on a disc to throw you off.īelow is the method I use for finding the correct segment map. Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance.I've seen a lot of folks still referring to old YouTube videos showing how to use Process Monitor and PowerDVD to find the correct playlist when there is a lot of playlist obfuscation on a Blu-Ray disc. I can’t be 100% sure that it happened the first time after Catalina but I believe so. Around that time, I did a clean install of Catalina. I have no idea why this is happening but the only thing I can possibly point the finger at is macOS Catalina. It’s happened a few more times with other movies. I put the BR disc in and went to that part of the movie and the scenes didn’t jump as expected. And then watching further, it jumps back to the rest of the scene that was previously cut from and it became obvious what was happening. It was really obvious because the scene cut to another part of the movie that didn’t make sense and was so bad I knew right away that it couldn’t be a matter of bad editing. First time it happened was in John Wick 3. Within the last month or so, I noticed some of the rips are ripping incorrectly in that it has scenes that cut or “jump around”. However, I recently started having a problem that I’ve never experienced. ![]() This process is so routine for me that it’s become 2nd nature. I don’t encode them using handbrake, just leave them in their uncompressed. I rip Blu-Rays and 4K Blu-Rays using a UHD friendly drive. I’ve been using MakeMKV for several years now and absolutely love it.
