Re: Best software to create ISO file from full disk backup

Now, I tried to use "Image Burn" to create the ISO files. It does this successfully, BUT it removes my option to MOUNT the ISO file from my right-click menu. I'm using Windows 11. That's a FAIL. Not sure where this is going wrong for you. I use this same exact process in Windows 11 and th...

Re: HELP NEEDED - How to RIP from files copied to hard drive

If I understand correctly what you did, the two files you copied using Windows Explorer are still encrypted which is why they don't play.

Selection for native language for a disc

Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find an answer. Using track selection rules, is there a way to automatically select the native language for the disc? For example, say in my track selection rules I have it set to only select English. However, say a certain disc is in Italian (for...

Re: .mkv Remux vs. BluRay Playback

It's just your perception. It's literally a bit-by-bit direct copy. There is no difference between what is on disc and the MKV file.

Re: Another dumb question

I have an interesting update. I decided to compare apples to apples, so instead of viewing the information through DVD Decrypter, I decided to view the information in VLC. For point of reference, I am using VLC in Windows, and getting the information from the log/messages window. Here is what I foun...

Re: Another dumb question

One other comment - my comments are strictly for DVDs, which seem to be the ones mostly impacted by region coding. I don't know if you did your tests with a Blu-Ray or 4K Blu-Ray. It seems like the industry has learned that region coding doesn't make sense anymore so most 4K Blu-Rays aren't region l...

Re: Another dumb question

Not sure about your tests. Today I ripped a DVD that had RCE (region) protection with MakeMKV. The regions on the original DVD were 1 and 4, as seen in the following screenshots from DVD Decrypter: https://i.imgur.com/NWT8slq.png DVD Decrypter also asks me to select a region when I insert the origin...

Re: Another dumb question

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...

Re: Another dumb question

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 RC...

Not all playlists are being read from Elemental Blu-ray?

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...

Re: Troublesome Discs

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...

Re: Questions on Forced Subtitles

~ 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......

Re: Questions on Forced Subtitles

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 ...
