Video on the mac, the answer is 42

Question

ee my previous post
Well the encoding with forthytwoplus finished, it took 1 hour and 9 minutes , not as good as my best time of 29 minutes on the pc.
But:
the finished product is beutiful h.264 video, which blows everything else a way. I can't believe the quality, 23 fps at 250 mb. it looks as sharp as the purchased lost episodes.
If you own ipsp already the upgrade is only 10.00,

someone should tell these folks that progress bars shouldn't increment by 50, I paniced when it said estimated second pass 17 hours, than in 5 minutes it dropped to 20 minutes.
again 1 hour of video encoded to h.264 in 1 hour and 9 minutes, not great but acceptable.

Answer 1

When 42 scans the Video_TS file from the DVD that has multiple episodes on it, it only shows one Title, and a Chapter range of 1-7.
Actually the "Video_TS" is a folder. Be that as it may, it will likely depend how the disc was made. Some discs are divided into multiple tracks rather than a single one. Some of my older DVDs have multiple tracks each of which contains a single episode consisting of several chapters. On the other hand, most of the more recent discs seem to contain only a single track with each episode merely being a given set or group of sequential chapters.
I suspect the former will show up as multiple "titles," whereas the latter will show up as a single "title" with a very large number of chapters. As I am not an expert in these matters, I cannot really give you a definitive answer other than to say, think of a "title" as merely being logical divisions of the media program. In the former case these logical breaks coincide with physical breaks in file content (like the physical pages of a book). In the latter, these breaks may or may not fall on a physical division of some sort and are merely the program content between to arbitrary "markers" no matter how many physical pages they may cover.
Another way to think of a "title" might simply be to consider a title as a sequence of programming material which has a definite start or entry point and a definite end point which returns you to the menu. Most discs today give you the option of watching a single episode and returning to the menu, as well as, the option of viewing all of the episodes in order and returning to the menu after the last one. Each individual episode would likely show up as a separate title with the combined collection of episodes showing up as an additional title whose length was roughly equal to the sum of all the individual titles.
In either case, it should be easy in Forty-Two to select either a sub range of chapters on a "title" which represent a single episode or select all chapters for a given "title" if each title represents a single episode. Since a preview option is available in Forty-Two, it should be simple to determine under which scenario you will need to work for any particular DVD.
Hope this has not confused you. Best of luck...
