MonoRip: ISO to Monolith MKV Pipeline
MonoRip is an automated workflow script designed to transform bulky Blu-ray/DVD images into lean, high-quality, and highly compatible MKV files. It handles everything from raw extraction to precision encoding and final assembly with zero manual intervention.
🚀 Key Features
- Automated Extraction: Automatically parses .iso files or folder structures to extract the main feature using MakeMKV, retaining all English and Dutch audio/subtitle tracks.
- Intelligent Media Analysis: Inspects the source for resolution, bit-depth, and duration. It performs a dedicated scan for black bars to calculate the perfect crop settings.
- Profile-Based Encoding: Re-encodes video using hardware-aware profiles triggered by the media analysis, ensuring optimal quality-to-size ratios.
- Audio Refinement: Retains original high-quality tracks while automatically generating an additional down-mixed Stereo AAC track for maximum device compatibility.
- The "Monolith" Merge: Finalizes the process by merging the optimized video, original audio, new stereo track, and subtitles into a single, definitive .mkv container.
🛠 How It Works
1 RIP: Input an ISO/Folder \rightarrow Extract core assets.
2 SCAN: Detect black bars \rightarrow Identify stream properties.
3 BOTTLE: Transcode video \rightarrow Down-mix audio \rightarrow Merge all streams.
