I understand you should never exceed 80% of the drive.

Why is that?

I have been deselecting all of the subtitle tracks but did I make a mistake for certain movies? Is forced subtitles the same as forced narrative? Meaning in certain scenes the dialogue is shown on screen for a brief period so you can understand an alternative language? The subtitles shown to have y...

EDIT: So I have extracted the video tracks from the output files from MKVToolNix and MakeMKV and they both have different hashes -using the SHA3-512 hash- but they also have different sizes so that's enough to know they are different. Weird, I'd expected different MKV file sizes since MakeMKV and M...

It's relatively easy for me to do this in DVD Shrink with DVDs; typically I don't have to click a lot. In MakeMKV Blu-ray though, it auto-selects EVERYTHING, and trying to de-select what I don't want... there's dozens/hundreds (?) of things, most of which I know I don't want. MakeMKV can not recogn...

Have you tried one of the batch ripping tools mentioned here on the forum and compared the total rip time to your approach?

Add -sel:subtitle to the DefaultSelectionString in the Advanced tab.

Since most US BDs don't have tracks with forced items you could uncheck that box and have MakeMKV mux the file with consecutive tracks.

To automatically be used by Plex, the SRT file would have to be something like "A_Town_Where_You_Live_t20.srt.cn".

I guess you meant "A_Town_Where_You_Live_t20.cn.srt".

To do it in one hit, play back the video prior to ripping it cycling through the audio tracks. Once the descriptive track is identified, uncheck it in MakemKV.

According to this post you can copy the file with any name into the MakeMKV data directory which location you can see under Preferences > General. With expert mode enabled on this tab you get the tab Advanced where you should be able to select the profile 'fatez' from the default profile pulldown me...

Extract default.mmcp.xml from the appdata.tar, rename the profile name to fatez and add <!-- Common MKV flags --> <mkvSettings setFirstSubtitleTrackAsDefault="true" Save the file as fatez.mmcp.xml and put it into MakeMKV data directory. Later, when opening, select your custom profile. This...

Yeah, Mike hasn't commented on

setFirstForcedSubtitleTrackAsForced="true"

yet but that setting makes sense. However, why do you want to mark the second track as forced? I always mux it to be the first track.

Yes, and they've been posted several times on this forum, like here.

MakeMKV Batch Converter does not seem to support special chars like German Umlauts; titles with them will be skipped.

Sounds like you're using a tool chain of several apps to rip your files. You might want to add one more step to identify unflagged forced subs by stream size and item count similar to BDtoAVCHD's 'Scan Bitrates' function that works quite well.
