I would say, yes, backups are definitely worth it.

Whenever I see this in VLC, I turn off hardware decoding and it goes away.

I bought my license in 2014. The processor was Avangate.

Thanks for sharing! I think I might just keep the disks themselves as the backups and keep only the mkv as the digital portion. I can get 1/2 of the space back I have now. I'm worried about burning out the GPU/CPU so I don't use handbrake at all. I might look into it in the future. My transcoding r...

So extracting the iso is essentially making a folder structure? I was used to make it with AnyDVD and only used MakeMKV for the video files. And now I want to change the program for Xreveal or MakeMKV. Yup. Just extract it and you'll have the folder structure (or use Xreveal which will do it direct...

Yes, I have the same idea as you. HandBrakeCLI.exe won't automatically load presets from the GUI application. That is what --preset-import-gui is for. The CLI does have its own set of built-in presets (you can use "--preset-list" to list them). From a cursory glance, they seem to match th...

That's confusing. If it's in the GUI, --preset should just work, especially since the parameter is given as a user defined string. From a file is another matter, but I think the file option is what the OP wants. Obviously I don't use handbrake, so maybe you should give the OP an example (I also don...

I've tried to backup a DVD to folder structure but the app so far is only making a ISO file. Is this option not possible with a DVD? If so, how can I do it? Thanks. I usually just use Xreveal or AnyDVD to create a DVD folder. But can do it in two steps with MakeMKV. Generate an .iso file, then extr...

Confusingly, handbrake also has the option: --preset-import-gui (Import presets from GUI config preset file). Because, unless you're going to use a predefined preset (--preset-list), you need load the preset(s) first, either with --preset-import-file or --preset-import-gui. Then you can select the ...

Ah nice thanks for the tips. Curious what kind of drives do you have? I've been testing out a few drives recently but so far I've kept the pioneer-212v, 43888(ud04), and xd05. Did had an LG and 43888(with bu40n) earlier but returned them cause I felt like I'm hoarding drives at this rate lol. Pione...

My blu-rays number in the several thousands. My failure rates is much less than 1% (maybe a dozen or so discs). I like to keep several blu-ray drives of different brands in my ripping machine (I realize that internally many brands are the same). I notices that there are some discs/drives that just d...

For Plex, I just disabled all the scrapers and told it to show me the actual folders. The main annoying thing is the "folder view" seems to reset with every update.

This is why I HATE all media streamers, players, servers, etc. (e.g., Kodi, Plex). They all insist on doing the same thing. They want to scan all your files, inspecting their names, meta-data, etc., in order to build and organize a library. Then they want to scrape the internet for artwork, etc. Aft...

Bingo, finally a person with common sense.

It's amazing that the people with "common sense" are the ones that agree with you, right?
