Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

Thanks again for that math. I opened up a bug report for that issue with mkvtoolnix and shared the information in here. I don't know in practice how files output by mkvtoolnix are affected by that issue, as that's been used for many years by tons of people worldwide. But it does seem to be doing som...

Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

That last part is very interesting. A lot of this is over my head, but I wonder if it is indeed a bug with mkvtoolnix that their NTSC output is 29.970628 rather than 29.970030, and their 23.976 output is 23.976216 vs the expected 23.976024. Is there any reason why that would be intentional? This is ...

Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

I'm using MKVToolNix GUI v98.0 "Chonks" 64-bit on Windows 10, the latest version. "(FWIW, remux of NTSC DVD it should always get the value of 30000 / 1001, because that's the only value allowed in the sequence headers, even in the case of DVD with "NTSC 24p" material and pul...

Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

I'm sure the video is being remuxed intact. What I'm concerned with is the ripping programs altering the flags and headers, affecting how the file is played back with my software or external media players. When I say forcing a framerate in mkvtoolnix, once a vob (or any file) is loaded into mkvtooln...

Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

Another TV set example: QUARK (PILOT) This one gets more complicated. The VOB reports 23.976 (24000/1001) with pulldown. For some reason, makemkv changes it to variable 24.000 FPS and carries over the pulldown flag, and lists the original frame rate as 23.976 (24000/1001). Mkvtoolnix also changes it...

Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

Thanks for digging into this for me. Lots of useful information, though I admit the various frame rates being reported with DVDs and even 29.970 material from blu-rays has definitely got me confused over what's the "correct" way to do it to not confuse external media players like Ziddo/Dun...

Re: Super slooooooooooowwwww site

It's been excruciatingly slow for me, with lots of 40-second+ page loads and lots of Connection timed out / Error code 522 cloudfare pages.

Lots of SSL handshake failed Error code 525 from Cloudfare, too.

Only on this site. It's practically unusable for me.

Re: Confused over frame rates being changed

I've run into other DVDs that report this in mkvs created by makemkv: Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 23.976 (23976/1000) FPS Original frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS I haven't seen any yet that report the frame rate as 23.976 (24000/1001), even when that's listed as the "original ...

Confused over frame rates being changed

I'm about to start ripping some DVD features and extras to mkv and I want to make sure I do it correctly with the right tools. I figured the easiest, safest way would be to use makemkv. But there's some confusing framerate discrepancies I'm encountering that's leaving me unsure if I'm using the best...

Re: MakeMKV, just BUY it already.....

Personally I don't get the point in not generating a new key until a third or more into the new month. Usually there's a couple or few days into the new cycle before there's a new key but now it's up to a third of a month. If they want to increase sales, how about making the cost more reasonable? Th...

Re: Titleset/Calculated BUP offset warnings with xreveal rips

Wow, I had no idea you could finally do this. Absolutely this would solve my problem. What's the method of doing this? Is there a thread that discusses this? I'm still curious why I'm getting these warnings with my xreveal backups, but maybe I won't need to worry about it if I can make ISOs with mak...

Re: Titleset/Calculated BUP offset warnings with xreveal rips

I also get loads of "assuming fake title" warnings when opening either an iso or folder created by xreveal, or when opening an original disc directly, with xreveal in the system tray. When opening a disc directly without xreveal running in the system tray, I get no "fake title" w...

Titleset/Calculated BUP offset warnings with xreveal rips

I'm trying out the free software xreveal to make backups of my DVDs as many are very very old. It has the same functionality as anydvd or dvdfab passkey (you need to provide a keydb) , with options for both "rip to hard disk" and "rip to image". The first disc is an older DVD wit...
