# 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.
|
