Re: SDFtool Flasher

When you launch MakeMKV itself, it will show your optical drive model, its firmware version and date. That and the SDFtool Flasher [url]https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896[/url ] first post will tell you how to flash your drive. Note that your BP50NB40 if SVC: NB52 (a tag ...

Re: The new beta key doesn't work

You will always get the full, correct beta key if you use the "Select all" link in the Code box before copying.

Re: Verbatim 43890 External Slimline Mobile USB 3.2 Blu-ray Writer UHD Problem

I have a couple Verbatim 43890 drives and they came with external power bricks. Have you tried using this external power source? I use that and it runs fine with single USB 2.0 connection. Like Coopervid says, clean the disc. I've had new discs come with an oily film. Sometimes the disc is just defe...

Re: Improving vocals from Blu-rays?

Check what audio adjustments are on your TV. Anything to reduce the bass should make the dialog more prominent.

Re: Improving vocals from Blu-rays?

The vocals are difficult to discern on some films. I think it is just bad sound engineering on some newer films. My Handbrake process is like yours, reducing the 5.1 channel to AAC stereo. Maybe someone with a theater sound system will comment if that helps the vocals. My profile for blu-ray discs d...

Re: MakeMKV v.1.18.1 - failed files are not deleted

Some users have requested that failed files not be deleted hoping that some use may be made of them. See viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31272&p=155118&hili ... on#p155118. So this may be a new feature not a bug.

Re: feature request for v1.17.10 (ignore read errors option)

Many messages on this forum assure new users that their MakeMKV copy is not degraded in any way. It is an exact copy of the video and audio data on their disc. Taking from Marty McNuts, if you get errors then: 1. Your disc is dirty, 2. Your disc is faulty, or 3. Your optical drive is faulty. I like ...

Re: Pauses when ripping then carries on

Defective or dirty discs can lockup my LG disc player so badly that I need to power cycle my computer. Try cleaning or replacing the problem discs.
