Re: Linux mint 21.3 need help adding MakeMKV to system
The official build instructions are here: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 Are people saying that doesn't work? I used to do it quite often but now on Arch Linux I use the version in the user repository. It doesn't look like Mint has this in their repository. So I would bu...

Re: Naming Files in Linux
I may not be understanding.
You have a list of titles on the left. Click on one and there is a "Properties" selection on the right. One of the properties is "File name".
Does it work differently on Windows?

Re: Old ccextractor version
I'm using ccextractor 0.94 on Arch linux. Like MakeMKV itself, it comes from the AUR user-supported repository.
I don't think ccextractor is packaged with MakeMKV here.

Re: Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?
It is technically not possible to have CSS on burnable media. I don't know what the others are. The owners have calculated a trade-off: how much do we lose by piracy vs what is the advantage of keeping these titles in print (on demand)? The ones I have seen are all deep catalog and classics. Probabl...

Re: Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?
For items picked up from ebay, etc: it is hard. You can look for clues in the quality of the disc label or box art, but those can be expertly duplicated. I had a bootleg where the file dates were way too recent, the dual layer original had been compressed to one layer, and the audio codecs were non ...

Re: Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?
The big studios do produced DVD-R discs. They do not have CSS copy protection. I've gotten a few dual layer DVDs and a small number of burned Blu-rays.
This is their "manufactured on demand" effort.
Scanning my notes: Warner, Sony, Fox, MGM, TCM, Universal have all done it.

Re: General question about Calculated BUP offset for VTS
I've seen those messages for years and they have caused no problems for me.
DVDs are not always authored with care and you sometimes see strange errors.

Re: MakeMKV v1.17.4 linux can't find any usable optical drives
I'm using Arch with makemkv installed from the AUR repository. I use both SATA and USB Blu-ray drives. I don't recall any specific setup required. Could be a module or group permissions error? Do other applications see the drive? It mounts discs and the contents are visible? If there is anything you...

Re: Playing DVD files from computer to television
Many people do this, the HTPC = "Home Theater Computer" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htpc). The task is much simplified if you are interested in only locally stored files: you don't have to worry about a tuner or recording capability. Kodi is a popular free system that will catalog and p...

Re: Ejecting after read errors takes over a minute and fails
I've had this for years. I have not had to power off to recover for a long time, but optical drives on Linux do seem to get wedged into error states where it will not give up the disc even when no one wants it loaded. Hitting the physical eject button repeatedly seems to help. Eventually. I've also ...

Re: Having issues with using downloaded subtitles that seem different than the movie's subtitles
It is a great day when your downloaded srt file fits the video perfectly the first time. For all other days, I use a bash command-line script: https://github.com/helixarch/subedit It has many modes but I find "-a" the most useful. Play the video and note the timestamps of the first and las...

Re: 3 minutes of silence in main track of disc 2 of Visconti's "Ludwig"
I just encountered the same issue. Also LPCM audio, 3m of silence overlaying the start of the titles, also from Arrow Video. This was with the box set of BLOOD BATH, two discs, two titles on each. The segments all look something like: 6,4,6 Where 00006.m2ts is 3 minutes of silence, no reason for its...
