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?

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.

Re: BU40N PA04

The SDFtool Flasher is meant to work with the "All You Need Firmware Pack". Either: 1. DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin 2. DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin should write to your drive. Use the "Write" option, not "Recovery". The "Revision: PA04" is strange but maybe something Panas...
