Re: Creating ISO with MakeMKV

DVD's are currently the only format that will create an ISO by default from what I see.

I currently just back-up the BD/UHD disc, then use imgburn to convert it to an ISO file.

Avatar Collectors Edition 4K Dump Submitted

Didn't see any posts about the Avatar Collectors Edition 4K not being able to backup.

Just submitted the dump files for the US version.

Re: FS: Best Drives / ASUS BW-16D1HT, LG BU40N Best Service: alexcoluzzi32@gmail.com

I bought a drive back from Alex a few years ago and everything has been great. Because I was having an issue determining if a disc was really bad, I thought I'd get a second one to keep my sanity. There was no hesitation for me to reach back out to Alex to see if he was still selling drives. Ordered...

A Pioneer or BU40N
Thanks for the suggestions. Just ordered a LG BU40N!

I'm thinking having a second drive will help determine if a disk is truly bad.

What's the best drive for 100GB/Triple Layer disc's?

Currently I have an ASUS BW-16D1HT. I've had it for almost 3 years, but I notice that it can be a gamble on whether or not it will be able to read 100 GB disc's right away. Most of the time it take over 10 tries to get it to finally read the disc (even after cleaning). It may be time to get a new dr...

Re: Problem Reading Larger UHD Discs? UH12NS40

Did you ever find a solution for this brownSys? I've come across this rarely, but it seems to happen with 100 GB discs. The first time it happened was Transformers The Last Knight. And it's now happening with John Wick Chapter 2. Eventually, my drive was able to get Transformers to mount so I can ba...

Re: Casino Royale & SPECTRE UHD Disc Errors

It could just be bad discs from the factory. I had the same issue with Spectre late last year when I bought the "old" Daniel Craig Collection (the one without No Time To Die). I went through 3 different box sets and couldn't back it up. Ended up having to buy Spectre separately and it was ...

DV Media File Location in BDMV?

I heard the DV media is a separate file from the main M2TS movie file. But where is the actual file located in the BDMV folder structure? In the main "STREAM" folder, I don't see a secondary movie file with the same length as the main M2TS file. and if this isn't the correct forum to place...

Re: Is ripping 4K Blu Rays Practical?

If you don't want to deal with certain titles onto a specific drive, then you'll need to have a RAID configuration. The big thing you have to understand with a RAID configuration, you'll need to consider what you want for redundancy purposes. Or drive failure scenarios. RAID 0 will allow you to pool...

Re: Issue with UHD Spectre

Yeah, brand new disc's are meaningless. I just bought the Daniel Craig Collection and had an error every time it was trying to back-up the main title m2ts file. I exchanged it once at BestBuy, had the same issue, then took the refund and bought it on Amazon, only to have the same issue again. Someti...

Re: having trouble getting ripped DV to play on my CX.

LG TV's don't currently support DV in a MKV container.

You have to mux it into a mp4 container for it to recognize with LG's internal media player.

I do hear PLEX supports DV now, so you could try it through the PLEX app on your LG CX.
