Zack Snyder’s justice league

What’s the best way to Handel a two disc set as far as a folder structure 

[Luke 42077]

HI, have you ripped this to video files?

[Deathsquirrel 745]

The best approach is to rip to mkv and then merge the two video files using mkvmerge.

Personally I now tend to keep these type of films as the intended two parts - same with films like Extended Editions of LoTR.  

Each part of the film then keeps it intended chapters and lets be honest, nobody is going to watch a 4hr film without a break ..

I just put them both in the same folder - with a '- D1 or -D2' after the primary part of the filename - and then create a collection of them both called the same thing.  Then you only get a single entry in your list of films but get to see both parts when selecting it..

Example file naming :-

 Directory of V:\Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) [tmdbid=791373]

10/09/2021  23:17    59,568,008,668 Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - D1 - Bluray-2160p HDR THD 7.1.mkv
10/09/2021  23:38    41,339,473,378 Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - D2 - Bluray-2160p HDR THD 7.1.mkv

If you can merge them it does simplify things as it's just another media file to Emby without any special needs or setup required.

If you can't do this then what @rbjtech showed is a perfect way to handle these files.

Sure - does mkvtoolnix automatically increment the chapter number and calculate the correct chapter point in the merged file ?

It does automatically re-calculate the correct points for the appended files.

Ah cool - in the case, definitely an option then for normal SDR or HDR files  - I don't think MKVToolnix can yet work with DV files - but it shouldn't be long.. 

Thanks !

I muxed the two discs of Lawrence of Arabia into one file and it plays in Dolby Vision on my Shield.

'It depends' on the type of DV source file...
