In a simplest case only title number can be specified - in this case MakeMKV will open title in exactly the same way as it would open it normally, with exception that all fake checks would be disabled. Simplified token syntax is - XX] where XX is a title number and yy is a chapter or cell number. The title selection string is a set of space-separated tokens. Given the proper title selection string any DVD disc can be opened, even disc with a structure protection that MakeMKV can't normally handle. This string describes what parts of DVD should be opened and in what order.

Any title can be forced to be non-fake, titles can be split by cell (or chapter) boundaries, in any order.ĭuring opening DVD disc in manual mode one has to enter a 'title selection string'. Any part of the disc can be assigned to any title in any order.

The good part is that in this mode user has precise control over DVD layout interpretation. The bad part about this mode is that its usage requires advanced knowledge about DVD authoring.

Starting from version 1.9.0 MakeMKV can open a DVD disc in a so-called manual mode. Sometimes the produced result is different from a desired one - title can be wrongly identified as fake, title order could be wrong, series episodes could show up as a single gigantic title. During the DVD analysis phase MakeMKV has to make many decisions how to interpret contents of the disc - split video data to titles/chapters, remove duplicate title entries, detect and remove fake titles, skip portions of discs with mastering errors, etc.
