Re: matrix revolutions bluray
On the blu-ray - I see 2 tracks - track 01 seems to read "normally" w/ chapter info, while track 05 seems to not have that information....so suspect maybe track05 is some sort of "overtrack" that maps to track01 data?
Re: matrix revolutions bluray
If you make a decrypted backup of a blu-ray, you can see the file structure. Inside there you'll find a folder named STREAM. Inside the STREAM folder you'll find a bunch of files named #####.m2ts, where ##### is a 5 digit number. These .m2ts files (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) are the audio and video you see on a blu-ray.
Things like chapter information isn't in these .m2ts files. That stuff is in a .mpls file, which you'll find in the PLAYLIST directory of a blu-ray. The .mpls file(s) is essentially a playlist of .m2ts files. Most of the time, when you play a blu-ray, it is playing a .mpls playlist for whatever the title is.
When MakeMKV shows you a title with chapter information, it is interpreting the .mpls playlist. Not every title on a blu-ray, however, is in a .mpls playlist. Lots of times the 'extras' are just .m2ts files. If you find, say, the trailer for your movie in the extras of the blu-ray, it probably just points to the correct .m2ts file that is the trailer. It is probably 2 minutes long and there are no chapters. So, MakeMKV interprets both the .mpls files on a blu-ray and it scans the .m2ts files to make sure it didn't miss anything. Sometimes it manages to 'find' the movie twice; once in the .mpls file and once in the .m2ts file. The .m2ts version won't have any chapters because .m2ts files don't contain any chapter information.
This is a long winded way of saying pick the one with chapters.
As a side note, the Info box in MakeMKV will show something called the segment map. The list of numbers in the segment map corresponds to the .m2ts files that are defined by the .mpls playlist for the title (or, in the case where MakeMKV has 'found' a .m2ts file without a .mpls playlist, it'll just be the name of the .m2ts file). In cases where MakeMKV finds the movie twice, once with and once without chapters, the segment map for both entries is undoubtedly the same; they're both the same .m2ts file.
As a second side note, this playlist of .m2ts files is how a single blu-ray can contain multiple versions of movie. This is called seamless branching. If the 'extended cut' of the movie has an extra scene, then the movie is probably spread across multiple .m2ts files (or segments if we're talking about the segment map). The first part of the movie might be named 00100.m2ts. The second part of the movie might be named 00101.m2ts. The extra scene might be named 00200.m2ts. There would be two .mpls playlists. The theatrical version would have a segment map of 100,101. The extended version would be 100, 200, 101. Blu-ray players can switch from one .m2ts file to a new one so fast you can't see it. In this way, the single blu-ray has two movies, but doesn't have any duplicate data; it has the movie chopped up into multiple parts plus the extra scenes.
