Ripping TV Seasons

Post by farbermania »

I'm still new to the whole scene of ripping DVD's (like a week of experience).

I've done a dozen or so movies all done fine so far. Nothin' fancy, just using the "Hi-Res iPod" setting.

However, when I try to rip a TV season I only get the first episode. I've tried this with 3 different DVD TV seasons.

Since, HandBrake only allows you to go as far as the VIDEO_TS file to choose what to convert, I assume I need to delete some files mannually to get to the second and subsequent episodes. I just don't know enough about the file types to know what to look for when deleting these files.

Here is what the file looks like when I open it:

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_0.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
VTS_03_0.BUP
VTS_03_0.IFO
VTS_03_0.VOB
VTS_03_1.VOB
VTS_03_2.VOB
VTS_04_0.BUP
VTS_04_0.IFO
VTS_04_0.VOB
VTS_04_1.VOB
VTS_04_2.VOB
VTS_05_0.BUP
VTS_05_0.IFO
VTS_05_0.VOB
VTS_05_1.VOB
VTS_05_2.VOB
VTS_06_0.BUP
VTS_06_0.IFO
VTS_06_1.VOB
VTS_07_0.BUP
VTS_07_0.IFO
VTS_07_0.VOB
VTS_07_1.VOB
VTS_08_0.BUP
VTS_08_0.IFO
VTS_08_0.VOB
VTS_08_1.VOB
VTS_09_0.BUP
VTS_09_0.IFO
VTS_09_0.VOB
VTS_09_1.VOB
VTS_10_0.BUP
VTS_10_0.IFO
VTS_10_1.VOB
VTS_11_0.BUP
VTS_11_0.IFO
VTS_11_0.VOB
VTS_11_1.VOB
VTS_12_0.BUP
VTS_12_0.IFO
VTS_12_0.VOB
VTS_12_1.VOB

My first thought was just wipe out all the "VTS_1_*.*" and that would take me to the next episode. However there are only 5 episodes and 12 sections of files. It don't add up that way.

I'm really trying to learn here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
