Ignore/remove chapters

Post by Meister_Proper »

I usually do a remux from a BD, but I don't want to keep the chapters. So I'm looking for a way to ignore the chapters or remove them. I searched this forum and couldn't find anything. The only thread I found was that I would have to use another program to remove the chapters.
Is there any way to do this right within makemkv? That would be very nice.
I know that this is probably not important for a lot of people, but I think/hope that this isn't difficult.

I have a dumb question. Why? So what if they are there? If you don't use them, they can just be ignored.

There is no current way to ignore the chapter track within MakeMKV.

Were I doing this, I'd use mkvmerge from the mkvtoolnix tool set, and just unselect the chapter track. If you are processing the file through handbrake, you can un-check chapter markers from the chapters menu, and the chapters will not be copied over.

Its not that important, but when I'm watching an Episode and I watched that already I want to skip to the next Episode. If there are chapters I have to skip through all the chapters first. Wouldn't happen that often since the jukebox has a watched mark.
I just thought that I might be that blind and I didn't see that option^^

Thanks for the info!
