I've never had an issue with bdmv folders in vlc. I've had problems with java in blurays, but never with a bluray that doesn't use java. and this is well known as the java support in libbluray is very incomplete. good enough for many uses, but no where near perfect (and with development on it basica...

dont know why makemkv can't see it besides it being some permissioning issue.

a reason for reproducible would be in some decentralized ecosystems where a file is created and associated with it's hash. The file then disappears, but the hash reference remains. Either one can create a new file with a new hash (and all old hash references will never be able to be resolved again) ...

An interesting feature (to me at least), would be for MakeMKV to have what I want to refer to as "Reproducable MKVs". Basically running it multiple times should result in a bit for bit MKV file. Today that's not possible for one obvious reason (metadata includes date and versioning in the ...

do you have /dev/sr? devices? If you do, can you read them manually? ex: dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null

if you can't it would be something outside of makemkv

I'm curious how you managed the 210TB of storage. A big NAS? Up to 8 discs in a NAS or even as direct attached storage seems relatively easy. Going beyond 8 discs seems cost and order of magnitude more money. 12 bay dell servers are pretty cheap (r7?0xd). Heck, can evey buy 24 bay dell servers. (r7...

I'm on the other end of the spectrum, while positioning is nice, I'd prefer a text base solution that then strips the CC out, so I'd hope this is configurable.

took me a while to figure out how to strip it out of mpeg2 with ffmpeg (-bsf:v filter_units=remove_types=178 for those that care).

It's a bit more complicated than that. Let's unpack all this so you have a better understanding of the process and what, if anything, you can do to protect yourself. Your premise is correct...once a drive "sees" an MKB v82 disc, the MKB is written to the drive as an update. That means all...

just use ddrescue to create an iso. With libredrive compatible drives, just let makemkv initialize it to libredrive state and you will get a non bus encrypted iso. At this point, if you start a regular encrypted disc backup (to get it to dump the encryption info to the backup dir), you an then abort...

it also doesn't support disc backups for regular DVDs, only supports making MKVs

That used to be the case, but modern versions of MakeMKV will now create a .iso backup of a DVD if the backup icon is clicked.

ah, interesting. shows how long its been since I used MakeMKV on DVDs.

For suggestion 2, try right-clicking on the left-side menu, and select "Unselect all". For suggestion 1, the title length is available in the "Info" section, under "Title information". It isn't part of the left-hand menu, because it's from reading a different portion o...

Doesn't MakeMKV support de-crypted Disc Backups of HD-DVDs? The Backup button is greyed out if I insert an HD-DVD (tested with several discs). Since MakeMKV still has an issue with HD-DVD subtitles (https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1905) you need the de-crypted backup to extract them...

i would love an option within makemkv where we could read the errored sectors from a secondary medium, say i have 2 identical dvds / brs / 4k etc, but they have both been damaged in seperate ways, neither will rip on its own, however, the read errors occur on a different sector so if i can somehow ...

you want ddrescue to image the DVD (perhaps with needing libdvdcss to authenticate drive to disc), one can then generally brute force decrupt the CSS protected DVD (dvd decrypter can do this with proper settings). (generally, as small VOBs can't be decrypted, but they are generally not needed to be ...

one doesn't need an enclosure for a 5.25" drive. there's a usb->sata cables (with external power) that work with optical drives (though note, not all do, some just provide a hdd interface). can just connect it as needed (or leave always connected, but I haven't tried that. In general an optical...
