Re: Idiots Guide To 3D

PowerDVD automatically recognizes the file as 3D and shows a 3D icon in the playback controls; clicking it will enable the 3D playback. If Cyberlink isn't recognizing the rip as 3D, make sure that '+sel:mvcvideo;' is in your conversion profile (or you are manually selecting the MVC video track) and ...

Re: MultiMakeMKV: batch processing for MakeMKV (Win)

It is technically meant to be a remote client, but can be adapted for local use by changing the host to '127.0.0.1' in the configuration. For use on Windows, you will also need to change MAKEMKVCON_PATH to the Windows location (or at least add .exe to it if the path is in your Environment variables)...

Re: Idiots Guide To 3D

I can play my 3D files with no issues using Cyberlink PowerDVD 12. MakeMKV generates what is considered to be the industry standard in BluRay 3D, which is 2 full 1080p video streams compressed using the MVC (Multiview Video Coding) codec; which is not supported by most mainstream MKV players, thus y...

Re: MultiMakeMKV: batch processing for MakeMKV (Win)

@kbaerwald - were you just looking to convert all titles in an ISO to MKV, or select specific titles? I wrote a front end for makemkvcon and can probably add this feature pretty easily...

Re: Problem getting actual movies

I typically select the track that contains the highest amount of subtitle+audio tracks that are in a different language (and that also contains chapters). It seems the movie industry doesn't dump quite as much money into internationalization when it comes to the special features (although this metho...

Re: Best Quality help

I would suggest MakeMKV over handbrake for the following reasons: #1 No re-encoding. This will save you time and gain you quality* at the cost of file size reduction. (*You will always, always, lose quality when you reencode from another codec) #2 Simplicity. As MakeMKV does not actually re-encode ...

Re: Remote-MakeMkv: makemkvcon GUI for headless server

I just finished up with the somewhat final GUI, which looks very similar to multiple instances of MakeMKV. I replaced the screenshot above, and tagged the 0.31 release for download at http://code.google.com/p/remote-makemkv/downloads/list . There's still a lot to do, but at least the GUI isn't just ...

Re: makemkvcon - maximum length?

I've been trying to do something similar but ended up having to go with a less automated approach. I had auto track selection working by parsing the track data and whatnot, the problem is determining whether you are looking at a Series disc or a Movie (which can look identical with all the special f...

Re: DVD angel views to MKV?

Not sure what you're asking here...are you trying to merge multiple angles into the same MKV file? This is possible (not sure if you can do it through MakeMKV, but you definitely can with mkvmerge). I've accidentally done this before; most media players freak out (VLC for example opens two video win...

Re: Command Line conversion from network share?

As a disclaimer, I have never used MakeMKV for this feature; but according to the makemkvcon documentation, you should use the folder name and not the individual files. If the operation of MakeMKV is anything like Handbrake for this, you should select the VIDEO_TS folder, but you may need the parent...

Re: Headless MakeMKV GUI (Python, client/server)

Thanks :D! I actually just integrated a name normalization script that I've been working on too...just some simple stuff like Title casing, breaking seasons/discs/episodes into a standardized format, and some other random things that tend to bug me with DVD/BDR names. Let me know if you have any sug...

Node-MakeMKV: The Missing Web UI For MakeMKV

I created a wrapper around makemkvcon that allows for a MakeMKV Web UI. The app is definitely rough around the edges at this point, but has already saved me a decent amount of headaches so I will post it here. Features Include: * Folder name normalization * Client/Server architecture * Multiprocessi...
