Each episode is on a separate title. You have to encode each title separately.

Ok.Do you mean i have to copy each episode as a single recording.Any way that i can encode the whole cd with the different episodes and copy the whole cd at once.

thanks

Some DVDs have a "play all" title that has all the episodes concatenated into one title. You can usually recognize these based on the title duration that is shown for each title. If your disc doesn't have one of those, then each title(episode) must be encoded separately. But you can stack them up in the queue as Cavalicious points out.

I am having the same problem and I do not really understand what the previous posters mean. I am very much a newbie and could use some baby steps to help me figure this out too. Please tell me what exactly to change so that I can rip MKV files properly from box set collections. Please and thank you.

May I take this opportunity to remind everyone of HandBrake's extensive documentation? The section on titles and chapters seems especially pertinent.
