Re: aspect ratio tags possible?

You're looking for the crop tag; not aspect ratio. This can be set using mkvmerge --cropping And I doubt MakeMKV is the app which should write that tag. It would involve letterboxing/pillarboxing detection and therefore require video decoders. Like ffmpeg , which comes bundled with MakeMKV? :wink:

Cover Art

It would be really awesome if, for DVDs that include a JACKET_P folder, MakeMKV could convert the images to PNG format and embed them into the new MKV.

Re: HD-DVD does not support FLAC conversion

You shouldn't need to use this profile if you're just trying to rip a Blu-ray, the built in FLAC profile will convert LPCM to FLAC just fine. :)

Re: HD-DVD does not support FLAC conversion

In order for this to work, we must also tell MakeMKV to let video and subtitle tracks passthrough.

I'm in the process of getting a working profile, I'll post soon.

Re: HD-DVD does not support FLAC conversion

Could you send me an example?

I wouldn't mind finding a workaround that leaves DDplus untouched.

HD-DVD does not support FLAC conversion

When ripping an HD-DVD, Dolby TrueHD tracks are copied as-is instead of being converted to FLAC.

If I open the resulting MKV file with MakeMKV, I can then convert the TrueHD track to FLAC and save the file again.

Re: ...the story of the 2 black strips

But, to what end? When I play a 4x3 video on my 4x3 projector with VLC, it windowboxes the video by default. If, however, I add proper crop metadata with mkvmerge , the projector will display the video properly in full frame. VLC is not the only media player that respects crop data. Players that do...

Re: ...the story of the 2 black strips

Perhaps automatic letterbox detection is beyond the scope of MakeMKV, but it would be nice to at least be able to manually set crop information.

This seems to happen for me on OS X as well.

Re: ...the story of the 2 black strips

I know mkvmerge can set a crop paramater that will effectively remove the black bars without needing to transcode the video.
Combined with something like Handbrake's automatic letterbox detection, it seems like it should be possible for MakeMKV to set this information automatically.
