How to handle multi-episode movies?

I have this movie "The Animatrix", which consists of 9 video files, one file per chapter.

What is the recommended way to get this recognized and played as a single movie?

Several observations:
  • Scanning/scraping is one issue: I don't want to have 'The Animatrix' 9 times in my library
  • Do nfo's work for movies at all? I followed the wiki and tried 'movie.nfo', 'The Animatrix.nfo', 'The Animatrix (2003).nfo', but the logs keeps saying "NFO not found". In the nfo I put the url to the tmdb page.
  • I placed "The Animatrix.mkv" (1Mb) in the same directory, which is nothing more than a container for the individual chapter references. If I open this in Media Player Classic (or WMP), it properly plays the full 1,5 hour movie, but XBMC just stops immediately. Using this 'all-in-one' mkv, at least it allows me to get only a single entry in my library, so it seems a step in the good direction.

The same applies to "Nightmares & Dreamscapes", which has 8 'episodes'.
