Re: External Subtitles added to MKV - Feature Suggestion - Question

Well, directly from an USB, is there any other way? I own many 4k movie discs. I have never owned a 4K UHD player. My old blu-ray player hasn't been powered on in more than a year. That's a long winded way to say, I have no idea how the Panasonic works, having never used it. https://help.panasonic....

Re: External Subtitles added to MKV - Feature Suggestion - Question

Some playback systems like Plex have the ability to use subtitles that are external to the video file. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200471133-adding-local-subtitles-to-your-media/ I use an AppleTV 4K as a Plex player and it can display PGS subtitles without transcoding, which is handy. How do y...

Re: External Subtitles added to MKV - Feature Suggestion - Question

Converting PGS or VOB image subtitles to any text-based format is a specialized task. Trying to make one tool do "everything in one step" gets you a Microsoft product. It would almost do everything poorly, instead of doing what it is supposed to do very well. MakeMKV has conversion of som...

E-AC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) to FLAC scenario - workaround needed

Hello Need some technical insights on how to do this the best way. Last part of my "training", to be able to fully use the Panasonic UB820 to play back MKVs properly. I have an MKV file that contains a Dolby Digital PLUS (E-AC3) soundtrack. I'd like to have it made FLAC 5.1 - tried twice, ...

Re: External Subtitles added to MKV - Feature Suggestion - Question

When you rip, you can have MakeMKV do that conversion, then mux in the subtitle track with mkvmerge. Personally, I use handbrake instead, because I'm going to be compressing the video anyway. Handbrake can incorporate separate subtitle files in SRT or SSA format. The output will be SSA if your outp...

Search for "mkvtoolnix", and you will find your solution already exists.
Yes, I know it does, but mkvtoolnix doesn't offer the option to convert DTS-HD / DolbyTrueHD to FLAC.
I haven't managed to find anything related to this....

Re: MediaPlayer Recommendation: 4k, DV, DTS-HD, Atmos

When talking about OPPO clones, a link perhaps would help? :D
Thanks

Kinda dissapointed in the Panasonic UB820 so far :(

External Subtitles added to MKV - Feature Suggestion - Question

Hello I'm in need of a little bit of support from you guys, due to the Panasonic UB820 limitation to display PGS subtitles within MKVs (such a stupid nonsensical situation, if you ask me, since UHDs / BRs have PGS subtitles and of course they display perfectly) Ok, we're having the movie X with a DT...

ISO Creation

Hello

New to MakeMKV, greetings to everyone :)

Long story short, just acquired an "UHD Friendly" drive. Works within MakeMKV and DVDFab - actually, it's ASUS BW-16D1HT
Is there any way to get ISO or folder-rips (1:1 backups) of an UHD by using MakeMKV ?

Thanks and regards
