I am trying to transcode the TV series "House" from a LEAGL copy of "Season 2 Disc 1". VLC shows 4 episodes on this disc.

HandBrake only transcode the first episode

Sigh

Try ripping with makemkv first.

Well I have learned in the world of DVDs, there is no such thing as an episode ! Only Chapters and Titles.

Adding --chapters "1-9" to the previous command line did not change the results.

So what does --chapters actually do ?

Try ripping with makemkv first.

Makemkv created a .iso file. Feed that into HandBrake (GUI). Same results.

VLC only sees first episode in the .iso file.

Can you please post your log for this.

[theoldwizard1]

Can you please post your log for this.

Sure. I don't know why when

VLC only sees first episode in the .iso file.

The first log file is activity_log_main.100700.txt https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X9FBJs ... sp=sharing

The second log file is "House Season 2 Disc 1..." https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K9U_0P ... sp=sharing

Try ripping the disk to mkv files then encode each one with handbrake.

Okay, so how do I get from "Titles" (Episodes ?) to the VOBs on the disc ?

VLC does it
makemkv does it

[Rodeo314]

So does HandBrakeCLI

--title 1 for the first title etc.

Episodes are not necessarily the first title(s) on disc though. You can determine which title VLC is currently playing by using Playback > Title in the VLC menu bar and checking the title index corresponding to the checkmark, or you can use MakeMKV which will present a list of titles and let you pick which one(s) to copy to your hard drive.

You should also read the output of HandBrakeCLI --help
