Two different MPLS files

[yahknow1]

OK I have to ask another question just to be confident using this program:

I have my old standby program that I've used for years to rip my MKV's: Vidcoder. It's telling me that the only movie-length playlist is 00800.MPLS

Now CloneBD comes up with Title 851 as the MAIN FEATURE. Vidcoder doesn't even LIST # 00851.MPLS? Why would this happen and can I trust CloneBD?

That's nothing usual. CloneBD uses the playlists AnyDVD recommends. 800/801 and 850/851 are often identical. The only difference usually is perhaps some signing text that's in a different language. Nothing to worry about

Well and I absolutely would agree with that except AnyDVD didn't recommend a play list? Unless that was in the logfile instead of the SETTINGS ?

it didn't tell you but it doesn't tell you everything it does either. There's certain magic in anydvd

Ok thanks!

And when it comes to actually mentioning playlists in the status window, that only happens when there either screenpass or playlist obfuscation protection on the disc

Ok I'm a believer. I've been trying to get the forced subtitles to work for years and now and.....IT WORKS.....SWEETSWEEETSWEEEEEEEET

CloneBD will auto-select the playlist, that contains the most subtitle and audio tracks.
In your case, 800 probably is the main movie playlist and 851 is identical, plus a number of audio- or subtitle tracks (director's commentary or so) that are not available in the default main movie playlist.
That way you have all options.
