I think you need to install g++.

I did have to search around for the libx264-slow.ffpreset file. It was deprecated back in April 2011: videolan.org commit . Sorry about that. It's hard to keep up with ffmpeg development. The constantly changing options are always changing constantly. :) You can usually find all the built-in preset...

I have no idea, but if you check the box it says something to the effect of "all content 24p except episode 9 ..." Sure enough, the box says "1080p *Except PLANTS which is 1080i". As I understand it, RipBot can access the official MS codec that Media Player uses. .. I just assum...

That episode was recorded as 1080i60 while every other episode is 1080p24; this, in and of itself, isn't really a problem—however—all of the content is encoded in VC1 and an open-source codec for VC1 *interlaced* does not exist yet. Thanks! It all makes sense now. Except why would they encode this ...

Going from ISO to MKV only brought the filesize down by about 400 MB. Ideally, I'd like to get each movie to 1 GB or less. MakeMKV generally builds lossless MKVs, i.e. preserving the original quality. To significantly reduce the filesize, you need to transcode at least one of the streams, especiall...

I confirmed that it works when I deselect all subtitles. I can also do a full backup with decryption. I'll be happy to help track down the problem. BTW, title #2 is supposed to be longer than the titles, as correctly identified by MakeMKV. I had incorrectly stated that they should all be about the s...

Episode 9 ("Plants") is the 2nd episode on Disc Four. It appears to rip correctly, but it won't play. I've tried Totem 2.32.0, VLC 1.1.4, and MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5. I'm also unable to re-encode it with ffmpeg 0.8.3. (Actually, it's libav 0.8.3. Ubuntu packages libav instead of the ffmpeg.) ...

The disc contains 3 episodes. I'm able to rip the first 2 (00003.mpls and 00004.mpls), but not the 3rd (00005.mpls). The error I got: 001003:0020 DEBUG: Code 0 at J)9nxgJT4CNvp|z <IG:121262647 001003:0020 DEBUG: Code 0 at Odpir%fVohNC>MRw%I7^+:29397955 001003:0020 DEBUG: Code 0 at Odpir%fVohNC>MRw%I...
