How can I rip a DVD and have the movie and special features in one file?

Asked by ScottyMcGeester (1897points) March 21st, 2017

I’ve been archiving my favorite movies and TV shows from DVD/blu-ray.

I’ve done this before but when I want to play them it gets annoying to have to sift through stuff like this:

Granted, that example is much more tame because that particular movie didn’t have any special features. But with Special Edition DVDs and the like, there are dozens and dozens of different video files each with an unclear filename so I have to spend some time picking at them to figure out which video file sends me to the main menu. I cannot delete or move the other files from the directory – they all have to be present.

I’ve found other DVD rippers but they rip just the main movie file.

The least I can do is, after searching for the right file, I can rename it something like “PLAY ME” so I can immediately jump there. Still, I’m ripping many movies and shows so I’d rather not spend an annoying amount of time doing that.
