Star wars still seems to be buggy. I just wanted to stream Episode 1 and MakeMKV sometimes randomly crashes with fatal errors both on Linux and on OSX 10.6...

Very nice, it's a start!

I don't have the time right now but it would be great to tweak the script to play the longest stream - the first track isn't always the main movie...

Sorry I didn't get back to you, real life got in the way! Anyway, glad you have it fixed.

No problems. Anyway the real trouble begins now hunting down the real bug (regression) in the kernel - I've never done a git bisect on a project as big as the kernel itself

Okay, I found the culprit. I switched to the 2.6.35-rc-series about the time when I installed MakeMKV 1.5.6 - reverting to kernel 2.6.34 fixes the problem for me.

Okay, scratch that, 1.5.4 isn't working properly either, it has something to do with streaming from the disk

Found a copy of 1.5.4's sources on my backintime-backup drive and everything works again, so I'd say this is a regression introduced between 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 (I remember 1.5.5 as working)

Always the latest one via git-checkout. ffmpeg is also kept up-to date at least twice a month fresh from upstream's svn. However, as I wrote, the same problem exists in programs using gstreamer like totem (which I don't build myself so I can rule that out as a source of the problem) and (s)mplayer w...

Hi, I'm noticing this error on makeMKV 1.5.6 on Ubuntu 10.10 development branch: When streaming movies they hang after a few seconds regardless of the player and/or codec backend (gstreamer/ffmpeg) used. I tried recompiling MakeMKV as well as VLC but the error stayed. When I wanted to test a previou...

... Just use the link from the program itself (Help->Purchase) to buy MakeMKV. I did so a few weeks back and don't have any problems updating. Oh and by the way: I would remove the app_Key from your post above - we wouldn't want people to register for the full version of the program without paying ...

Can we please just buy this thing already? I'm getting tired of updating every week just to avoid the expiration issues. Great program, but if you're going to charge for it, just do it and let us upgrade when needed. Thanks Just use the link from the program itself (Help->Purchase) to buy MakeMKV. ...

Thanks very much - I just tested it and the ripping speed increased from reading at about 1x speed to about 2,5-2,7x speed at which point it maxes out one of my two cpu cores with I/O load. So thanks very much for the fix! (*looking for my credit card now* )

For those of you who want to get it to work (at least on linux compiling your own version against a fairly new ffmpeg works so it should work on windows too), here's two howtos on compiling vlc on windows: http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileCygwin

That's not it either (at least not the whole problem) - under OSX using MakeMKV and the very same drive I can rip with 2.5x speed (about 10MB/s).

I just tried that and it didn't change anything. I can copy via Nautilus or Thunar with max. USB 2.0 speed, but MakeMKV still only copies with 0.9-1.2x speed (about 5MB/s) with about 15% CPU usage.

Okay, thanks for your answer!
