The Guns of Navarone

Getting ready to rip The Guns of Navarone 4k US Retail. I notice that there are a few listings for the main feature which are confusing. I understand there are 2 cuts of the movie on this disc. That's not what I'm referring to...I'm referring to the shorter cut which lists the 2 different options: F...

Re: The Natural/Black Hawk Down

Just want to add that I've been reading on other forums that many folks are having the same problem with Black Hawk Down. The conclusion is that Sony had a bad batch of discs but have seen nothing regarding a replacement offer from them. Oh well...DTS-HD it is!

The Natural/Black Hawk Down

This has me really confused. The 4k discs of these movies have a theatrical cut and an extended cut. Both cuts offer Atmos. For whatever reason the extended cuts on either movie, while listening to the Atmos audio, have audio dropouts for a few seconds and then the audio returns out of sync. It seem...

Re: Ripping Dolby Atmos into MKV

I'm having audio issues with "The Natural" 4k. While watching the Directors Cut and listening to the Atmos audio around 40 minutes into the movie the audio drops out and a few seconds later audio resumes but it's now out of sync. Rewinding a few seconds fixes it until a few minutes later a...

Dolby Vision or not...

Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but I trust the opinions of folks here more-so than on some other sites...that being said: I have a Denon S750 receiver (has the latest fw installed) being fed audio/video from a Nvidia Shield 2019 Pro (has the latest fw installed) which accesses my...

Re: MakeMKV 1.15.4

I'll have to rip The Natural 4k again. The extended version with Atmos would "audibly" go dead for a split second..then the audio would reappear but be out of sync. A rewind or fastforward of a few seconds fixed the sync issue, however, it would do this again and again...which got a bit ti...

Re: Exhausted....Black Hawk Down

Uh....100th times a charm... Yep, got Deepwater Horizons to rip...what did I do...no idea...ok, here's what I did do that MIGHT have made a difference. The motherboard in my computer is an Asus which has 6 Intel SATA ports and I think 4 Asmedia ports. I had the 6 hd's on the intel and the 2 cd drive...

Re: Exhausted....Black Hawk Down

I have 2 WH16NS40 drives installed. I just ripped John Wick 2 and 3 on Saturday, both of which are triple layer discs. Maybe just bad luck with the copies I got of Deepwater Horizon and Schindlers list. I bought them both at the best place to buy...stuposedly they are new.... I've tried different fw...

Re: Exhausted....Black Hawk Down

dcoke22, if MakeMKV fails to detect a disc in the drive does that mean errors on the inside edge are the reason for the initial failure? On these discs a "watermark" appears in the smooth area of the inside edge....is data read from that area? Is the data that MakeMKV first tries to read o...

Re: Exhausted....Black Hawk Down

I swear I don't mean to belabor this but now I'm really confused. Using 1.15.3 I associated mpc-hc in makemkv. Found the appropriate playlist on the disc and WATCHED the whole movie with Atmos audio in mpc-hc....how??? Is opening/playing a disc in this method the same as playing a disc in a bluray p...
