Re: Valerian 4K: SCSI eror Plays on 4K Player

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a triple layer disc… those are the hardest for any optical drive to rip.

Do you have a different drive you can try? In my experience, some drives just don't like some discs.

Re: MakeMKV & Handbrake

I make 1080p versions of movies where I have the 4K disc but not a regular blu-ray. They can look pretty good… it just depends on your settings in Handbrake of course. By downsampling a 4K to 1080p, you can end up with a file about the same size as if you were encoding a regular blu-ray. It'll look ...

Re: License key not received

I paid for my key a couple of weeks ago but have still not received it. Admin please respond. From reading the forum, it seems like PayPro Global automatically initiated a refund to everyone who didn't get their key after ordering at the beginning of the month. If that didn't happen for you, I sugg...

Re: AACS v82 dump_HTB0211

Emailing the dump file to svq@makemkv.com is the correct thing to do. It will be processed and eventually made available as a hashed key . There is a separate process called the Public KeyDB. If you make the dump file available for download on the internet somewhere and post a link, they can add a k...

Re: FURIOSA_A_MAD_MAX_SAGA 'MEDIUM ERROR: L- EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' with 2 different discs at exact same offset

That's a triple layer disc. Is the drive struggling at the layer break? That might explain why it fails at the same offset on two discs.

Can the drive rip other triple-layer 4K UHDs?

Re: My Blu-ray Remux Journey: 5,500 Titles, 210TB, and What I Learned

I'm curious how you managed the 210TB of storage. A big NAS? Up to 8 discs in a NAS or even as direct attached storage seems relatively easy. Going beyond 8 discs seems cost and order of magnitude more money.

Re: Having issues updating key

I don't use MakeMKV on a headless linux box, but I know others have had this trouble in the past.

There might be more threads, but that's the first one found.

Re: Bladerunner 2049

The reason I asked is because those kind of errors are what people see if they try to rip a 4K UHD but their drive doesn't support LibreDrive . But if you've successfully ripped other 4K discs then, obviously, that's not the case. In my experience, sometimes my optical drives get confused and need t...

Re: MakeMKV & Handbrake

What do you do for a 4K rip? Do you resize it down to 1080? Do you tone map from HDR to SDR?

So I'm happy to see that things appear to have returned to normal which is pleasing.

But I am now wondering will we ever see MakeMKVI?

also what happened to the previous four iterations before we got MakeMKV?

Re: 2000+ rips on my 8 drive NAS

1. If in the US, ripping Blu-rays protected by AACS (which most are) violates the DMCA clause on breaking DRM meant to protect copyrighted material. Further complicating matters, in the US the Librarian of Congress can issue exemptions from breaking DRM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Millen...

Re: Best software to shrink mkv

MakeMKV is just copying what's on the disc. So, if you rip a 4K UHD, you'll get a big file. Regular blu-rays are about half as big. And DVDs are tiny by comparison. d00zah's suggestions are good ones. There are lots of choices. I use Handbrake and I'd guess it is the most popular. It is also worth m...
