Re: Feature Request: Scanning Redundant Media

Ever heard of something called the Domesday Duplicator? ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDlbwl3f39Q ) It is for laser discs, but has similar ideas. As for something like that in MakeMKV, lots of people have made similar suggestions. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=38554 Th...

Re: Failed to open disc.

The drive needs to be flashed to support LibreDrive before it will rip 4K UHDs. Fortunately, since your drive is a BU40N it is fairly easy and straightforward to do. The Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide has instructions and links to the SDFtool Flasher and the firmware needed. The guide recommends...

The movie A Christmas Carol (1951) starring Alastair Sim? ( https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Carol-Brian-Desmond-Hurst/dp/B0DC7M1V74/136-0385304-1862002 ) Sometimes it is called Scrooge and sometimes it is called A Christmas Carol.

Re: Make backup of blu-ray disc

I'm suggesting that you never burn another piece of optical media ever again. :) But if you must, do not include the MAKEMKV folder. Once you've made a backup of a blu-ray (or DVD or 4K UHD) with MakeMKV, you can open that backup with MakeMKV and create .mkv files from it. Out of curiosity, why are ...

Re: Make backup of blu-ray disc

Presumably you're trying to burn backups of discs onto optical media? There are lots of reasons why this isn't a great plan. The short summary is storing movies on a hard drive is generally cheaper and more reliable than trying to burn them out to optical disc. But if you must… There is Windows soft...

Re: Playback is Choppy/Jumbled

Perhaps your Plex server has to transcode when it serves your PC.

Re: No sound

Often in cases like this the culprit ends up being the playback software being used to play the ripped movie. Some movies only have DTS audio and some players, like Windows Media Player can not play DTS audio by default. VLC can play most audio by default. What happens if you play the file with VLC?

No sign of it either in MakeMKV directly or in the public key DB as far as I can tell.
Did you email the dump to svq@makemkv.com?

Lots of players have ways for the users to move where the subtitles are displayed.

It looks like there might be a picture-in-picture commentary version of the movie on that disc.
