Handbrake: Chapters in random (?) order / disordered

[Raltux]

Please describe the problem or feature request in detail:

I am using Handbrake quite a while under Ubunutu, now. Recently, chapters got in an arbitrary order, possibly like 1,10,11,...,2,20,21? I used both MKV and AVI container format.

What are the steps to reproduce this problem:

Insert DVD and start ripping incl. chapter marks.

What version of HandBrake you are running:

0.10.2+ds1-2build1

What operating system and version and you running (e.g. OSX 10.11, Windows 7, Ubuntu 14):

http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64

Was there any error message or error dialog, if so please detail or provide screenshots:

no.

Please provide the full activity log for the encode or scan attempt. You may attach the log as a file, post a pastebin URL to the log, or place the log inline below:

none found.

Is there any tool to re-arrange chapters from the disordered movie? Can I extract one file by chapter? The file still has got some chapter marks.

Is there anybody else having experienced this behavior?

Scrambled chapter order is one of the structural obfuscations the studios are using to protect their discs. There are multiple titles of approximately the same duration on the disc, and only one will be ordered correctly. Your job is to find the correctly ordered title. Or alternatively, you can use software that is specifically designed for ripping DVDs which can find the correct title for you (HandBrake can't do this).

Is there any tool to re-arrange chapters from the disordered movie?

Not that I am aware of.

Oh, and how did you get "AVI" output? HandBrake doesn't generate AVI (or at least hasn't in a decade). So are you using a different program to generate this, or a real old version of HandBrake, or did you just mis-speak?

Broken third-party Ubuntu build.

@jstebbins Thanks for fast clarifications.
It's not AVI, sorry, but "MPEG-4 avformat".

The "correct title" is an array of chapters in the right order? Can I compare this to multiple FAT tables on a vFAT file system? And I have to pick the right one?

Easiest option is to pop the disc in a DVD player and see which title it plays, then select the same one in HB.

Also please see https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.0.0/get-handbrake/where-to-get-handbrake.html with regards to the dangers of using 3rd party builds of HandBrake.

Since this isn't a bug, I'll close but feel free if you have any more questions to ask or pop over to the forums.
