Here's a random blu-ray backup I happened to have handy. The DTS-HD MA audio: Audio #1 ID : 2 ID in the original source medium : 4352 (0x1100) Format : DTS XLL Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems Commercial name : DTS-HD Master Audio Codec ID : A_DTS Duration : 1 h 39 min Bit rate mode : Variable ...

Even if you don't convert the audio into FLAC or LPCM, you'll get two audio tracks, a DTS-HD MA track and a regular DTS track or a TrueHD track and a AC-3 track. https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo is handy tool for looking at that stuff. (Also available to install via Homebrew on macOS.) For example...

Hopefully you've seen the Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide post with the list of recommended drives. I know your drive will be external, but you can also consider a regular internal drive and put it in an external case. I have 3 'internal' drives on my desk in external enclosures connected to my c...

The lossless audio formats DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD both have this notion of a 'lossy core' that's used as a fallback mechanism for playback systems that can't process their respective lossless audio stream. MakeMKV splits the lossy core out into its own track. It does this by default re...

Does it have to be LPCM or would FLAC work? I ask because the FLAC conversion profile is built in by default, making it easy to do on-the-fly audio conversions . In any case, you need to Export Mode enabled in MakeMKV. (MakeMKV Preferences -> General Tab -> Expert Mode checkbox) Then, when you've go...

As Woodstock said, most Disney and Pixar movies have multiple versions on the disc. Usually the opening and closing credits are in different languages. On blu-rays, it is relatively easy to make a decrypted backup of a movie and figure out which title is which. In North America, usually the title '0...

Your log in the first post suggests you are opening a file on your hard drive, not the optical disc. How was this file created?

Scroll down on that post until you see the section titled:

only use the recovery steps for older NS40 drives!!:

You might be able to recover.

Have you tried power cycling your optical drive? I'm not running Ventura, so this is just a guess.

New TVs do not support DTS Audio. Is it possible to transcode a DTS Audio / 5.1 audio track to Dolby Digital Audio / 5.1 without additional steps? Certainly some new TVs support DTS audio. In any case, MakeMKV has a thing called conversion profiles . A conversion profile can be used to do on-the-fl...

Automatic SDF downloading is disabled for failed. ^ That message indicates something is wrong I don't see these on the spreadsheet. Does that mean they aren't ready? I'm using MakeMKV v1.17.2 on a new Mac Studio. What is the process for new movies? Will a new version of MakeMKV be required to proce...

The one thing I NEVER found in them was where they connected to the internet for their fiber network. I would have SERIOUSLY considered starting one of these, especially if I thought I could turn it into a bit of income long term while working on maintaining it. I would LOVE to be able to get somet...

More information! I think this tells us something, but I'm not sure what. I got up and went into my study this morning and the drive was still making that noise. I thought, "It's STILL ripping that one BD?!?" But then when I hit a key and the screeensaver stopped, I saw that MakeMKV had s...

I'm not ripping as much as I used to. With rural internet, I ripped about 8TB of TV shows (ripped and saved at about 1GB/hr - it was a compromise for quality that upscaled easily and space), and then our entire movie collection. Streaming has only lately become a useable option without tracking ban...
