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...

then transferred to NTSC DVD To be honest, I don't have a lot of DVDs, even though among them quite a few are wholly / cleanly or partially "NTSC 24p", i.e. more or less "shot on film then transferred to NTSC DVD". The DVDs I have are mostly anime, namely the different generatio...

there's a box titled "Default duration / FPS". You can input your fps in that field Hmm, to be frank I don't really know what filling that in would do. As I mentioned, default duration of the video track should be set "out of the box" for DVD remux produced by mkvtoolnix. I also...

I just can't help it. I just talked to a drive seller (hopefully not scammer) on the China second-hand app and he also thought UHD BD is called HUB.

I'm unsure if I should just let makemkv do it's thing and trust it with all my TV sets. Well the bottom line is, you can always check whether the MPEG-2 stream is "intact", as in, you can crosscheck the hash of the video stream extracted from the VOBs / MKVs: ffmpeg -i "concat:1.vob|...

With this disc, the vob reports 29.970 in mediainfo - note there's no mention of pulldown. Both makemkv and mkvtoolnix changes it to variable 23.976 (23976/1000) with no mention of pulldown Well this is what I get for another DVD (which is essentially a "previous generation" of the "...

So I just checked MediaInfo 26.01 output for MKVs produced by mkvtoolnix 97.0 and makemkv 1.18.3 from the "cleanly" pulled-down DVD I mentioned, I cannot produce the difference you saw. Both of them give: ... Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 23.976 FPS ... Scan type : Progressive Sc...

Why does makemkv change the framerate from 23.976 (24000/1001) as reported direct from the vob to 23.976 (23976/1000) VOB (or more precisely the MPEG-2 video stream) does not report / store frame rate in fraction when the rate is a "standardized" rate (and 24000/1001 is such a rate). Inst...

I wonder if this has something to do with "bus encryption", since the disc you have been testing with(?) is apparently one of the latest (re-)releases. Have you tested with a disc that you successfully ripped in the past? Read of scrambled sector without authentication This somewhat sounds...
