Does using MKVtoolnix in any way alter or damage the file?

I’ve been doing a few muxes of old BD / DVD soundtracks / audio commentaries which weren’t carried over / laserdisc audio rips which I’m perfectly fine and happy with however I have this underlying anxiety that I am somehow damaging the video stream or it’s going to cock something up when I try and ...

Re: Dump submitted : Jurassic park / World Trilogy Remaster Dolby Vision

Can’t open the UK variant. Anyone else? Have you installed the latest KEYDB.cfg file by copying it into MakeMKV's data directory and restarting MakeMKV? And if so, could you also make your TGZ dump files available here please? This could help people add your disks to the KEYDB.cfg file. See Public ...

Multiple versions on disc - any way to compile?

Is there any way to avoid ripping each version (say 2 versions of a movie on a single disc) as a seperate file? Like can you dump the extra bits to another smaller file and have VLC point to several files to play a certain version of the movie? For example at the moment I’ve ripped Gladiator but eac...

Re: Drive completely disconnects when reading Westworld S2 D1

I had a few occurrences of something similar with my American Psycho disc.I had to keep unplugging the SATA power from the back of the drive. Eventually after retrying literally about 100 times over the course of a few weeks, that one time the drive decided the read the disc ok and ripped it fine. M...

Re: Dolby Vision playback via laptop via VLC Player?

That's the right model, yes. Just be aware, like I said, installing coreelec the first time is a bit involved. Once it's set up you're good to go and the pq rivals stand alone UHD players.

Re: Dolby Vision playback via laptop via VLC Player?

As I understand it, the best way to watch your MakeMKV DV rips on a TV is to get a Ugoos AM6B+ and load CoreElec onto it. Playing DV content as it comes on a UHD (DV profile 7) requires hardware that can do specific things and software to take advantage of the hardware. This is different than playi...
