Re: Question about integrity of DVD ISOs created by MakeMKV

Once you ripped every extra video, one wouldn't really need the structure anymore, I would have thought.

I do know, that a very few DVDs place extra videos within the menu part of the disc, which MakeMKV cannot make a video from, but I have only like 1 or 2 DVDs with that.

Re: Clearing file history

Out of curiousity, where do one see this history in the program? For some reason I don't.

Re: RipGuard issues

To rip the discs, you could try DVD Decrypter with a low retry count (or even 0, if we assume the "damaged" bits are all just the copy protection). Though i can take quite a while. I had discs with 28000 bad sectors. DVD Decrypter even tries to analyze, if there are "protected" a...

Re: Is there a reason some 4Ks don't load menus on VLC?

Personally, on Windows, BluRay/UHD menus usually only work at all for me if I use Java 8 (or having the path to it set in the JAVA_HOME variable).

You can try to check another DVD opening mode, sometimes it helps: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28541

Re: Archgon drive

I think, external drives do need 12 Volts, and power banks usually only give 5 Volts.

Or is it a slim drive only having USB? does it have two USB cables you would both need to use?

Re: Region 2 Blu Rays Being Read as DVDs

I've had BluRays in the past, where the Bonus Content was on a separate DVD. maybe it's your case as well? If you see a DVD logo on the disc itself, then it most certainly is a DVD.

Re: remove RegionLock permanentely?

In the old days there were RPC1 firmwares for DVD drives, which made the drive region free. But ever since the BluRay/DVD combos, I never heard of any current firmware doing so.

Re: Full sized MiniDVD disc reader?

Not that I would think, it would be possible, but your drives all can read other DVDs? Would be strange if the red laser in all your drives would be bad.

Re: Full sized MiniDVD disc reader?

Out of curiousity got myself a physical copy of that disc and it's displayed as a very normal DVD in my drive: https://i.imgur.com/E4dt7Mw.png (https://i.imgur.com/E4dt7Mw.png if the image isn't shown) So... maybe your disc is just bad? MakeMKV doesn't even show CSS protection on that disc. Also no ...
