Issue with Handbrake's dealing of chapters......

4655 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Winux
I have a big collection DVD in iso files. What's the best way to stream to my iPad?


(I know that, normally, I have to transcode them to other format, e.g. H.264, to use AirVideo or something like that. Is any way I can transcode on the fly while streaming to iPad.)


I tried Handbrake. The problem is most of my DVD of educational materials containing chapters/lectures. The Handbrake treat each of those as an individual title and put them in different files.


I want to be able to batch transcoding, one disc into one file.....and batch can be set up do many iso file one after another.

not even one answer or suggestion?


Hope someone can point me to somewhere for possible answer...
Check in Handbrake's source Title dropdown again. Usually there is one entry that will have a time length that will equal the entire disc, use that one.


It is confusing, because it will also list every single scene and menu sequence as an individual file, but depending on how the DVD is authored, usually one entry is the entire disc.

You can't stream .iso to your iPad.

Air Video will transcode lots of different codecs and containers on the fly to your iPad, but not a ripped dvd.

Agree with gwpac, Handbrake should present you with the whole disc length as an option, usually right after the individual episode timings, if not then your dvds were poorly authored.

If Handbrake doesn't present you with that whole disc timing then you are out of luck.


In that case, if streaming to your iPad is that important to you, your best option is probably to use MakeMKV to convert each disc to a single .mkv, then rely on Air Video to transcode them on the fly, on demand.

I have Makemkv..... it doesn't make the who disc into one file either..

any pointers?
Using handbreak iso images can be converted to mp4. once its done, it can be played in iPad. Ive done this so many times.
