Are there any automatic or semiautomatic tools that will rip a set of DVDs from a tv show, and label the resulting vids (like Show name - s##e## or similar)?
I want to digitize entire series (of DVDs I own) for an in-home streaming server, and it’s super annoying to name each file individually.
I’m not sure there even exists a way to fully automated it, as that would require automatically identifying the relevant tracks/files and looking up the metadata. I’m not sure there is such a database.
Maybe sonarr could help with the naming. You can rip your CDs and have the files named 1,2,3 and then with sonar import the files and have them renamed to the proper series name and folder structure.
This may be semi automatic and you will still need a ripping software.
Other then that filebot is another good option that I have used.
Automatically ripping movies is pretty easy, but TV shows often need manual work to get them right.
Sometimes you’ll get individual videos with the correct chapters, runtimes and they are listed in order, but other times they will be jumbled in random order, or will be one large video that needs to be split manually into episodes.
Bonus if the VOB is encoded out of order and uses the chapters specified in the IFO to play the episodes in the correct order. CW/WB shows did that a lot for some reason.
This seems to only be for each disk and is not aware of other disks. So far, it seems that I’ll have to manually rename them to match a convention. I did forget about handbrake, though. It’s a good reminder. Thanks
Honestly the best and easiest solution is to just download them from the internet. You can queue up your entire collection using radarr/sonarr and then come back to a bunch of sorted and renamed files ready to watch on your media server.
