Auto Separating Chapters to Files from DVD

Please detail your question or problem in as much detail as possible:
My objective is to create flac audio files for each chapter in a Video DVD of an opera performance so that I end up with a similar set of files to those I would have obtained if I had ripped an audio CD. I am using Handbrake first and then extracting and creating flac files with VLC
My problem is that I cannot get an automatic creation of a new file for each chapter. I have set the Auto Name Template to {source}-{Title}-{Chapters} thinking this would do what I want but I still only get one large file. This works perfectly and gives me a perfect flac file with VLC but there should be 39 files, one for each chapter with consecutive numbering.
I am running Handbrake version 1.0.1 (x86_64) on OpenSUSE Leap 42.2. This version is now available from the repo site.
There are no errors, only problem is me not knowing enough and not finding more than above setting in the manuals.
Grateful for some direction please.

You have to select each chapter as a range. There is no automatic way to tell handbrake to break up the file at chapter boundaries.

Relatively easy to script with the CLI.

Currently, in the graphical interface you will need to add multiple jobs to the queue, adjusting the chapter range each time. So, chapter 1 through 1, 2 through 2, etc.
As for doing this automatically, the feature request is welcome but somewhat low priority at the moment. We've probably had 2-3 requests like this in 10 years (just saying).

Hi and thanks for the replies. I was hoping to avoid the need to enter range for each chapter but understand situation and just get on with it. Exactly what does the Auto Name Plate do in these circumstances. Does it just count and name Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc?
Thanks again,
Budgie

It should provide a number or number range, e.g. 2 or 2-5, depending on what you selected. You can add additional text to the auto naming field in the preferences, like Chapter or C, if you want.

Hi and thanks. My only problem is that if I try and queue chapters 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3,...etc I get the "another queued job has specified the same destination so it looks like I have to name each file separately before I rip.
Surely I am doing something wrong.

You could try adding "{chapters}" to your FileFormat specification in Automatic File Naming. That would differentiate the resulting chapter files without you having to manually edit the output file name.
However, given the nature of the file source, I would think editing the output file name to include the name of the music would be appropriate. Or, are you delaying that until after encoding the chapter?

Thanks Woodstock. My Fileformat spec is in my original post and includes {Chapters}. It does not work. Will play around a bit. I am presently ripping video DVDs and have a similar problem. I can see the chapter markers on the player (VLC) progress bar but cannot move to them or get any chapter naming.
Thanks again,
Budgie

1) Use official HB if you want support here, not the distro-provided build.
2) Upgrade to 1.0.7.
3) Post your encoding logs.

Hi and thanks for the reply. I understand but note that 1.0.7-1.36 is now available from repo site.
I have un-installed all the repo versions and installed the official version of HB from tarball.
A bit out of my depth here but there are logs in the ~/HandBrake-1.0.7/build directory as follows:-

Could you please post your encode logs, instructions can be found here:

No problem and thanks for the link. I usually use dropbox which is one of those included in the instructions. I need an email address with which to share the files. Please advise what address I should use.

Just post your log here.
Activity log is 31.9 KiB and encode log is 16.9 KiB. Not keen to try and post.
The instructions to which you referred me state "share its link with your intended recipient(s)"
If you don't use Dropbox do you have a preferred alternative which is more open?
How do others do this?

Pastebin seems popular but you should be ok to post them here in code blocks.

Sorry to be so dumb. Not familiar with Pastebin but I think I have it now. The above links should work. If you need more info please let me know.
Thank you once more for helping.

Seems it's not parsing your title and chapter naming, I don't know why as I don't have a unix version available but hopefully someone can tell you why.

You'll need to use the tarball on handbrake.fr to build the release.

probe: version.txt...(fail)
The source code tarball here
https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php will have the appropriate version.txt inside (as opposed to a git archive like GitHub creates), which is necessary to build properly.

I assume {chapters} was set in preferences, not the destination box. Also, i assume it's all lower case?
