Unfortunately, Mike is the only one with the keys, so waiting for his reply is in order.

He should be showing up soon, considering that the main beta key will need renewed shortly.
Shortly as in a few days ago, but still not renewed.

Re: Quantum Leap - BR - Season 2 E1 & 5, Season 4 E2 & 4

I'm having troubles copying these episodes from new Blu-Ray discs. I returned the collection to the store and exchanged the discs with a new set. And I'm running into the same error. I tried two different BR drives, and two different computers. I also tried to copy the disc as an ISO to my computer...

The pioneer xs07s flashed to xs07uhd from me is slot load and works with UHD contact details below if you want one
Will it mount in a slim optical bay like the Ncase M1 chassis has?

Re: Slimline/Slotin drive for UHD

Hello everyone, for a HTPC projekt, I need a slimline/slotin drive and I would love it when I can use it as an UHD player. I was not aware that UHD does not work that simple like a regular BD drive with anyDVD and I just purchased a Panasonic UJ267 (I can return it). As I understood Panasonic drive...

Re: BD Not Rippable, but Playable

I was just thinking about this too, because of a scratched disc that won't rip. Like the OP, my disc will play in a player and at one point will freeze for a few seconds then pick back up in what looks like 4-5 seconds later in the movie. It seems like there should be a way for a ripping software to...

There's an existing thread on this topic: Blu-rays with extra video in m2ts files
Thank you. I tried searching for color bars, but that didn't bring up any of these threads.

Color Bars at the beginning of TV episodes

I was ripping a TV show from a Blu-ray and the beginning of each episode contains a color bar test pattern for about 60 seconds. However playing the Blu-ray in a player doesn't show these bars.

Is there a reason this might happen?

you should do the folder backup it backs up everything without duplicating stuff.
Why would the folder backup not be the default?

Bug in 1.17.2 or conincidence Blu-rays with hundreds of duplicates

I don't know if this is a bug in the most recent v1.17.2 for Windows or if I just happened to get two movies in a row with hundreds of duplicate titles on the disc. When I stick the regular Blu-ray disc from the UHD album for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets or The Commuter , I get hundre...

I use -q 18 on DVDs and -q 20 on Blu-rays.

DVDs compress by a factor of 2-3x, but Blu-rays have a much wider range, from "just about nothing" to 10x and more.
I have not found a Blu-ray that doesn't compress at 3:1 or better. Which titles are you seeing that do that?

Re: Slimline/Slotin drive for UHD

Don't go for a Panasonic. They have even issues with BDs and regions. Look here. Get a LG BU40 or a Pioneer slim. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 The BU40 isn't a slot load. However the Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD is an external slot load. Does anyone know if the drive inside...

Re: Slimline/Slotin drive for UHD

I'm also looking for a UHD compatible, slimline, slot load drive. I found a couple external slimline drives like the Pioneer BDR-XS06T and BDR-XS07UHD, but I can't tell if those might could be disassembled and used in a regular laptop mount.

Buttons on High DPI Displays

I think most of MakeMKV works properly on a High DPI display, but the buttons do shrink down pretty small. Can you fix those to also conform to the Windows scaling settings?

Re: Mask of Zorro shows Movie File Only

I changed the minimum size to 60 seconds before the original post, just in case, but it made no difference. However the behind the scenes clip is 8 minutes long so that should have shown up regardless. I also checked the full movie clip to see if extra things were tacked on, but it's definitely just...

Mask of Zorro shows Movie File Only

The Mask of Zorro DVD has extra content like the trailer and making of featurette, but MakeMKV shows only a single entry for the movie. If I look in Windows file explorer there are definitely lots of files on the disc.

What is going on to prevent the rest of the content from showing?
