Re: USA equivalent of Verbatim 43888 Slim USB blu-ray drive

Just following up. Made my purchase from Amazon.uk, delivery to Buffalo NY was only 15 pounds added to the cost of the drive. Well under $200 total. Drive shipped from a supplier in France, tracking was supplied but really didn't offer much for tracking. Last update was from four days ago saying it ...

Re: Now you see me 2 correct playlist

Having the same trouble with this one. Family Video will sell off their "extra" copies of most movies several weeks after they're released. $9.95 or even better $7.95/3 for $21 can be a compelling argument for the right movies. Picked up a copy of Now You See Me 2, UPC 0-31398-25057-9 labe...

SVQ updating on Windoes 7

Just curious - I've been using MakeMKV on a Mac and am now testing it on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. When I run MakeMKV in my standard user account, I get an error that SVQ updating failed or is disabled (it is enabled in Pref's), but if I Run As Administrator or log into my Admin account the update ...

Re: Doctor Who series six part one (US)

This is the first of the Doctor Who Blu Rays that has NOT been encoded VC-1 - a delightful surprise. My poor MacBook Pro doesn't know VC-1 very well, and the only method I have to convert to a Mac/iTunes-friendly MP4/M4V is QuickTime with the Flip4Mac plug-in... a VERY slow process.

Re: Not ejecting after rip

There's a menu bar eject "menulet" that's built into the OS but needs to be enabled manually. Here's a good write-up as to the how: http://mactoids.com/mac-os-x-leopard-menulets/ It's been kicking around in some form or other since about OS 10.2. I find it incredibly handy. ...And yes, I, ...

Re: List of Blu-ray drives that work

Been using the FastMac drive since January. Slow delivery, no replies to emails, all confirmed, but it's a nice drive that seems to work well. Yeah, the 2x is a bit slow, but it gets the job done.

Re: MakeMKV OSX - Non-Compliant Output File

I've run into this as well. MakeMKV rips the Blu-Ray disc, files of appropriate size are created, but Handbrake (neither the official release nor the above-linked version) recognize the output files. Tried opening them in VLC and got the following errors: " No suitable decoder module VLC does n...
