The default version of java is decided by your path setting. if you enter "echo $PATH" you'll see that one of the directories in the list is /usr/bin. If you want makemkvcon to find a different version of java when you run it, you need to change the path so that it looks somewhere else fir...

I've been going through several TV series on DVD and some of them have copy protection such that the duration of a title is incorrect. MakeMKV drops those titles and logs that they were fake. If I run the disc through WinX DVD Ripper and have it copy the DVD directories to disc it fixes that problem...

I've been using dvdbackup on Linux to copy dvds to the hard drive then running makemkv to extract titles from the vobs. Before 1.17.0 I got a lot of corrupt data found errors on some discs. 1.17.0 seems to work a lot better, but on a couple of discs I get a new error and makemkvcon seems to stop run...

I've been copying DVDs to the hard drive using a Linux program called dvdbackup. I then run a script which calls makemkvcon to create mkv files from the copied dvd directory. It executes makemkvcon for each title which I want to copy. The makemkvcon command randomly fails to copy a title and gives t...

I have a script that converts pgs (bluray) format subtitles to vobsub (dvd). It uses mkvextract to pull the subtitles out mkvextract -q tracks "$inputmkv" ${tracknbr}:"subtitle${tracknbr}.sup" and then uses bdsub2sub to convert them java -jar ~/download/BDSup2Sub512.jar -o "...

One annoying feature of Ubuntu snaps is that they are sandboxed, which limits what directories you can use with those applications. I ran into the same problem with the Chromium browser which would not let me select other mount points to save a download into. In order to change that you would have t...

I have an LG WH16NS40 that I bought last year which came with the 1.04 firmware. I flashed it with the WH16NS60 1.02 LibreDrive enabled firmware from this site. Since then it has been unstable. I can rip one or two discs and then it throws errors on the next disc and I have to power cycle my system ...

On my Ubuntu install, ccextractor is blank. I'd suggest selecting Expert Mode on the General tab, then go to the Advanced tab and erase whatever is in the ccextractor executable location.

It looks to be set to 5 by default. Is that "per bad sector"? If there's a problem where the computer and drive are not talking correctly, wouldn't that mean makemkv just moves from sector to sector and retries all of them 5 times? Every once in a while I get errors like this: MSG:2003,0,3...

Is there any setting to limit the number/time makemkv will retry when getting a drive error? I've run into a couple of those scsi errors recently and it seems like makemkv just keeps trying over and over again. That can't be good for the drive.

Yeah, VLC still gripes if the region code doesn't match, but with Makemkv as the AACS driver you can get around it without changing the code in your drive. In VLC go to tools->preferences and select show settings all at the bottom. On the scrollable list of options on the left select Input Codecs->A...

My first question would be, why is your wrapper script copying the Makemkv license into the config file? You should only have to do that once. Second question, where did you come up with the 1GB of storage for a blu ray and 500MB for a DVD? Makemkv just copies the data as is and, as far as I could s...

I use makemkvcon in a set of scripts that allow me to specify which titles to extract, and for each of those which audio tracks and which subtitle tracks. My scripts extract the title and then pass it to either handbrakecli or ffmpeg to transcode to x264 or x265. I write a control file for each disk...

My personal workaround was that I discovered the m2ts files that were lost when the supposedly duplicate playlist was dropped were also in separate titles all by themselves. I modified my script that sits on top of makemkvcon to set the minimum title length to 0, extract those separate titles and th...

Well, it's not quite set at 120 seconds. For the disc I'm currently working on, vlc lists titles that are 1:32 and 1:37 (92 and 97 seconds), but not ones that are 1:06 (66 seconds) and shorter. Is this a vlc "feature" or is this something MakeMKV is doing?
