I will have another try.

Of course, these windows users with tons of dlls and dot.net and c++-runtime libs are better of.

To be serious: I am glad seeing linux supported at all - in any way: static or dynamic.

So far, I am remuxing now by default.

What still troubles me why I see for just about a second a still picture before the movie starts itselfs when playing the file for controlling with vlc. Is this the jpeg-cover file? Why is is added to the movie although I didn't select it?

No, sometimes, there are some in the source (~cover.jpg etc), but I only select the English, lossless DTS or ac3 audio tracks and the subtitles tracks available. At least that's my purpose. Should I try to select one of those by purpose to see what behaviour comes out of it? I was able to make anoth...

Sorry, I was too quick at all. What at least seems to be for sure: - Some files can be played directly with my Hardware-stand-alone-Player, some not. - all files can be played with my Hardware Player after remuxing them as described above with mkvmerge from mkvtoolnix. The rest is just confusing: Wi...

I'll try my way back and report if I have success with using the copy of makemkv directly with my stand alone player again.

I have to correct myself, I just checked an earlier copy I have made and the regression I described must have been ealier than 1.7.10, but I cannot track down the exact version.

This is an observation and a question at the same time: Copying a blu ray with the current version 1.7.10 resulted in a mkv file which makes my hardware player (LG Bu Ray Player) crash. Remuxing the file with mkvmerge like mkvmerge --compression -1:none makemkv.mkv -o remuxed.mkv gives a file played...
