   @maddy I have a series I couldn't rip because, not only are all the episodes one big file, but it doesn't play start to end. First, each episode's intro and credits are reusing the same chapters. Then, each fade to black between scenes is a jump to another random chapter in the big video.
   It was easier to find a copy
