Is this defect rate normal?!

To date, I've bought 6 UHD movies via scam-a-zon and all were sold as 'new' from amazon.com directly. No 3rd parties involved, no used inventory. Of the 6 disks, 2 have had scratches that make the disk unreadable. Also, one of the normal blu-rays had a scratch that made it unreadable. They were all ...

On the first screen of MakeMKV choose the icon of the yellow folder with the green arrow. This will start the backup process.
Ah, that's what that button does. I thought it was the same as another button. Thanks! That looks like what I was after!

Best way to make ISO?

I'm rebuilding my movie collection. I already have a drive and firmware that lets me rip 4k disks. What I want to know is if there is a good way to make an ISO of the entire disk, or if that is not feasible for some reason. Specifically, here is what I'm doing: Get original media 'Get raw dump' (rig...

https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=182475#p182475 <--that was the answer I was looking for. As for 'duplicate posts', well, that's what happens when posts disappear into a moderator queue for an unknown amount of time. People who are looking for an answer ask in more than one way to see...

Re: Flashing LG model BP50NB40-NB52 - A Guide

Bro, thank you SO much for this. IDK when you'll see my reply as new accounts go into the moderator queue, but this is EXACTLY what I needed. makeMKV 1.18.1 works for most things, but it did indeed sit at 100% CPU time with the makemkvcon -f commands. Thankfully, this didn't hurt anything it seems. ...

Sanity Check for BP50NB40

Recently bought a BP50NB40. It's NB52 and was built in May of 2025. I am on linux (arch). I use the linux version of makemkv 1.18.1. I'd really prefer not to have to create a windows VM if I can avoid it. From browsing guides and threads, it looks like what I need to do to get UHD ripping working is...
