Re: MakeMKV works on Mac, not on linux for same drive, but drive works on Linux?

The latest version is currently a problem on linux. You need to install an older version of MakeMKV.

Re: Preferred/best base image/distro for makemkv?

I should be the same on all distros.

Currently we have an issue where the latest 1.18.x release is not working on Linux for some. For now the solution is to install 1.17.7.

Re: Disc is being loaded

Many Linux users (and me) report 1.8.x is not working well. Solution for now is to install 1.17.7.

You can use it on any number of machines at your site. Cross platform.

Re: Full Disc

Yes, the Backup function will create an ISO file of the whole disc (for DVDs, for Blu-rays it creates a folder).

Do not open the disc on the main page. Select the Backup icon under the menu bar.

Re: VLC Player: Keystrokes for Zoom?

I don't know of any and searching doesn't find a solution, so I suspect it is not possible.

Re: VLC Player: Keystrokes for Zoom?

Here is what grok has to say: The issue you're describing with VLC Media Player's zoom function—where it changes the window size but doesn't enlarge the image within the window—can often be addressed by using VLC's **Interactive Zoom** feature or other methods to magnify a specific portion of the vi...

Re: VLC Player: Keystrokes for Zoom?

As said in the discussion, it will zoom smaller window sizes to larger but stops when you reach full screen. If you start at full screen it does not change the window.

I'm guessing you want the image zoomed within a full screen window, but it doesn't seem to do that.

Re: In-video text being removed

MakeMKV cannot remove hard-coded subtitles, or make any other changes to the image.

Handbrake will burn the subtitles into the image, at the cost of a little processing time.

Re: No menu / credits / small videos

On DVD some short segments and the menus themselves are stored in special menu videos which MakeMKV cannot see. I don't recall other software being able to do it either.
