To be frank, IMHO if you are really paranoid about stuff, at the end of the day the only "solution" is to cross-check as much as you can. There's the tool `cmp` in addition to the various hashes in the Linux / unix-like world. Pretty sure you can find something similar for Windows (probabl...

Fedora 44 ships ffmpeg 8.x (libavcodec.so.62), but the pre-built makemkv-bin binary requires libavcodec.so.61 (ffmpeg 7.x). I don't think the latter part of the above statement is true / the issue: $ readelf --dynamic makemkv-bin-1.18.3/bin/amd64/makemkvcon Dynamic section at offset 0x7b6350 contai...

Interesting. What exactly are the three updates? (Not a staff member or anything. Just an intrigued nobody.)

Btw is the drive connected to a SATA port or a USB bridge? (Or is it a portable drive?)

If you find the new firmware please contact Billycarr11. Need that firmware to enable UHD for UD03. I've turned over every stone possible on the internet and yet to find the newest UD04 firmware. Did the UD04 come bare or did it come in a enclosed case? If in a enclosed case what brand is it? So it...

AFAIK theoretically you can use any blu-ray drive to rip regular BD with MakeMKV. However there have been reports that recent version(s) are problematic with non-LibreDrive. (With that said there seems to be ways to work around the regression in addition to using an older version.) Also I think non...

See if opening the disc once with VLC (and do not eject it) before ripping helps.

Recent version(s) seems to have regression for non-LibreDrive. You can try adding: sdf_Stop = "ASUS_SBW-06D2X-U_A102_212106281341_MO3O68G4321" to ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf (create the file if it doesn't exist). Can also try to downgrade to 1.17.7 or 1.17.6. Or crossflash the drive with a Li...

The "packetizer" Basically it means that MakeMKV is not muxing MPEG-2 stream in a very nice / proper way, so (as per my understanding) VLC needs to sort of "redo" part of the muxing "on-the-fly" (through inspecting headers in the stream by itself). VLC is at fault rega...

Sure, but what's weird is that I've tried three different enclosures with four different drives. Only one drive doesn't like being on USB and it doesn't matter which USB enclosure it's in. The other three drives work perfectly fine in all three USB enclosures. FWIW, the bus encryption flags of the ...

Okay, I figured it all out, at least for MPEG-2 video stream. mkvtoolnix has nothing to do with the problem. VLC does. First of all, the "precision loss" is introduced in the VLC code: https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/3.0.23/modules/demux/mkv/matroska_segment_parse.cpp#L333 https://git...

My guess is he didn't bother to read carefully. Maybe you can try reinstating you are aware of that and the problem is that "error" you saw is far more significant than it should be for just the integral conversion. (You may also suggest that he should pay attention to the millisecond part...

For one AFAIK the maintainer of mkvtoolnix is a "one-man band". On and off it receive pull requests from other people but that was it. So you can't really expect / ask for much. It wasn't in "heavily maintained state" even back when I made my tiny contribution, especially not the...

Using Kodi on a PC as the player and have it set to adjust the display refresh rate on start/stop. When the movie starts I see the resolution switch and then verify the signal format on my projector. My (limited) understanding was that some DVDs have 24fps data on them but include information on th...

So then if I want to rip my DVDs to mkv, I guess the best answer is to trust Makemkv Maybe. I wouldn't say that it must be doing everything correct, but it's probably good enough. I know too little about video codecs and Matroska itself to tell about certain stuff. don't worry about what mediainfo ...

I wonder what the math is with the 23.976 output? Without surprise: >>> 1000000000 / int(1000000000 * 1001 / 24000) 23.976024167640553 >>> 1000000 / int(1000000 * 1001 / 24000) 23.976215594130622 Note that these are only for 23.976p playback , i.e. Blu-ray only -- unless you have a cleanly soft pul...
