Thanks for the info.
When I put a disc in to DVD Profiler to database my collection it gives me a disc ID "C42A5E66C78593DF [MARVEL_STUDIOS_GUARDIANS_3]"
Or Mars Attacks my first DVD ever purchased "9C68E31EA5ED2F0A" I don't know where this "hash" is generated.

Yes that's something I have tried before. The worse I did and I'm ashamed I did, there was a film I wanted on Blu-ray but it was just too expensive as it was out of print, I found a copy cheap second hand but I would not play or rip as there was a scratch that I couldn't clean out, so I ended up get...

When I rip a DVD (yes I still watch and buy DVDs) with DVDs I use backup to ISO, with Blu-ray or 4k I backup to folder first then MKV later, but with the loads of discs I have there is sometimes the same film or bonus disc in special editions boxsets etc. and when the disc is inserted its name may c...

I have been using MakeMKV for a few years, before I used DVDfab a lot but now I only use passkey now and again, when I found MakeMKV I found it to work better and as I use it a lot I bought a copy instead of the free key. I have a lot of DVD's Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays, at first I would rip everythin...

Just a quick note I've just ordered the BU40N and a compatible sata cable to connect to computer.

I found this model LG BH16NS55.AUAR10B to give a lot of problems. The BH16NS55 drives I have are very reliable. In over 750 drives I have had 3 faulty. I have seen the drive for sale as: LG BH16NS55.AVBR10B LG BH16NS55.AHLU10B LG BH16NS55.AUAR10B my problem drive has three logos on the draw left to...

I too have this problem of drive no longer reading discs. I have two LG BH16NS55 drives, the first was down graded to 1.02 to read 4k Blu-rays and worked great for a long time, then it started to give me errors on 4k rips like. Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:READ OF SCRAMBLED SECTOR WITHOUT AUT...

It's been a wile. I ripped Men in Black 4K to ISO, added it to my server and played it back via cat 6 to my Zidoo Z9S and it played back with menu almost intact, but when talking none English in the film the forced subs did not play when some other films do. Then just to see what would happen I play...

yep just got mine today

I've been reading all the above with interest as the forced subtitles issue has bugged me for a long time. My setting is the following [-sel:all,+sel:all,-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang] I don't know what it all means I just wanted makemkv to just select everything and I would find the right subs...

If you got kodi on the Nvidia shield and SMB doesn't work try NFS, I've just been looking at the egreat A11, very expensive if I can get the software to run on my new build I'd be laughing.

Sorry can't do a test at the moment, what makes me laugh most when taking Star wars phantom menace for example we know the collect subtitles are on track 6 and no matter which program you use to rip the Blu-ray players are always hit and miss with the subtitles for example kodi does not play them wi...

Thanks but I don't need a link I can rip the subs myself I need a way to identify the right subs tracks for none English like alien or foreign language in films. Star wars episode 1 the The Phantom Menace for example in makemkv defaults to English subs track one forced when the right subs track is s...
