What happens if you make a decrypted backup of the disc (icon of yellow folder with green arrow on the first screen in MakeMKV) and then use MKVToolNix on the backup to create a .mkv file?

This thread has a relevant discussion of subtitles: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=36758

See the first post in MartyMcNuts's SDFtool Flasher thread: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896

In my .mkv files, I choose to name the track that is the forced subtitles "Forced Subtitles" so it is always easy for me to find it. I also set the two flags, flag-forced & flag-default, to true. I think by default when you add something to Plex that has one subtitle track with the def...

I haven't ripped that series. However, if you look at the credits in every episode you can probably reach a high degree of certainly by looking at the director and writers for each episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_King_of_Queens_episodes#Season_1_(1998–99) If you make a decrypted b...

If you're doing this stuff on the boot drive of a Mac, the details Finder shows you aren't necessarily completely 100% true all the time. See this post: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=139536#p139536 If you read the links I posted there, you'll get a sense for how complicated things ...

That is true, if you copy all the audio tracks and the subtitle tracks of all languages then you'll have everything. Subtitle tracks are indeed quite small compared to the size of everything else. Lossless audio tracks like Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA can be a few gigabytes in size, however. Over the ...

Oh wow. Thanks for the info. I only have a small 4k collection, like a bunch Disney movie and a few random titles. How do you use that site? Do you just search for a title and read up what other people say about it? Just search and read the info posted about it. For example: Finding Nemo (2003) 4K ...

A safe recommendation is to put all your movies into .mkv files (assuming, of course, that your playback system can play .mkv files). .mkv files have much more flexibility and capability compared to .mp4 files. .mkv file is an output choice in Handbrake on the Summary tab. You then need to 'pass-thr...

Is anyone experiencing a constant failure of the SDF download?

Someone else was asking about this recently. Here was my reply to them: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=168740#p168740

Error 'OS error - STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED' occurred while reading 'BD-RE HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH16NS60 1.02 KLZJ7381920' at offset '23078369280' That error is a strange error for a drive in an OWC Mercury Pro enclosure. I would guess that the drive isn't getting enough power, but the OWC should be po...

I successfully downloaded the latest HK file earlier this week. Some people have routers with geoIP blocking turned on; the HK file is downloaded from Russia and will likely get caught by that. Some folks have ISPs that do a similar thing and block it. If the ISP won't let you turn that off, you're ...

107x speed?? I assume with file input? My default workflow is make a decrypted backup of the disc, then open the backup and create .mkv files from there. I often see speeds in that range when creating .mkv files from the backup. I've been lazy and am still on 1.17.6 so I can't confirm the OP's obse...

It has been my experience that the same disc in a different drive will often, though not always, produce different results. I've got four different optical drives sitting on my desk. No one drive is perfect, but with more than one drive, the odds of a successful rip go up. I've had the best luck wit...

Under the branch tree I checked full surround and stereo, is that maybe why? Almost always when users have this situation, it ends up being an interaction between whatever software player they're using and the audio format. For example, DTS audio is common on discs but, by default, is not supported...
