FYI I just read up on RCE (region code enhanced) protection vs just RC (region protection) protection and it looks like RCE protection adds an additional layer in a case where you are using a region-free or multi-region player. I guess it prohibits playing the disc on a region free or multi-region p...

If you use the MakeMKV backup function to backup a DVD to ISO, it will remove copy protection/encryption (CSS) and change the region to all regions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). However, it doesn't remove RCE protection, although I don't know if this matters since it is set to all regions. To remove RCE...

I am trying to rip the Elemental Blu-ray but have come across a strange problem. The movie itself ripped just fine but when I started to look for some of the extra content/featurettes, I noticed that some of them were missing when I load the disc in MakeMKV. I rechecked that I hadn't missed somethin...

Site looks like its working ok again. Maybe problem was related to this?

When cleaning the discs, make sure to use 91% isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Always clean by wiping from edge to edge and not in a circular motion. I have found that doing this process has resolved about 90% of discs that I had trouble ripping. Using other cleaning methods usually made th...

~ With the full back up (which I covert to an ISO using ImgBurn) I can easily play the movie on my PC using VLC ~ You don't need to create an ISO to play the 'virtual' disc (including menus) in VLC MP, a MakeMKV backup is able to do the same thing. Just open VLC, click on "Media > Open Disc......

However, these are all still MKVs. And since they're taking up so much freaking space, I've just now started using Handbrake to rectify that, which does give you options regarding forced subs. I was wondering if you managed to streamline your process by now, and maybe share what to do? I generally ...

Same here. Site has been super slow for me for a couple of weeks. I am also using CloudFlare for DNS so maybe its CloudFlare related?

Yes, you need to modify MakeMKV's user profile. (The following is copy 'n pasted from a post I made in another thread.) On your PC (see quote below for mac), navigate to C:\Program Files\MakeMKV and you need to open an archive called "appdata.tar" (I use 7zip to open this archive) then co...

Okay, there isn't actually two subtitle tracks (as per your example above) on the disc, there is only the main subtitle track (" o language (=checkbox1) " in your words). Let's say this subtitle track has 1,000 lines. If you turn on that track in the disc menu it will display all 1,000 li...

You don't have to create an ISO to play the 'disc' in VLC. If you have a decrypted backup, simply open VLC MP and click on "Media>Open Disc", select the appropriate radio button ("Blu-ray" for example), and make sure "No disc menus" is NOT checked. Then browse to and s...

Plex isn't going to replicate the menu system you have on the disc. You have to identify and set it up all manually, which can be very tedious. Your only option there would be to use the backup option, then find a player that will play either the BDMV folder or the ISO (create from the backup using ...

i am germena, so i prefer the german audio and subtitle. but i also rip the english one as well. but i can only select one preferred language in the settings. would it be possible to add a second preferred language (maye even more by just hitting a "+" for next language)? would make it mu...

In the case of Star Trek: The Motion Picture Director's Edition 4K though, the Vulcan and Klingon dialog were definitely on a subtitle track. If I enabled that particular subtitle track in my player (Plex, VLC), I could then see the subtitle translations (with a different font than other normal subt...

Yeah, I noticed the different font used when either the Klingons or Vulcans were talking. Is this why they weren't marked as "forced"? I've seen other examples where the subtitles are in a different font, like some of the Disney sing-along titles. Some embed the sing-a-long lyrics in the f...
