Re: My drive going bad?

If the drive can still rip other discs without issue, then it's probably not the drive. And yes, I am one of those who have had nothing but frustration with the GoT UHD box set...I also had to go through 2 sets just to piece together one "complete/working" set where all the discs could be ...

Re: MakeMKV, just BUY it already.....

So I just wanted to weigh in on this subject, since I have personally been on both sides of the "it costs too much" argument. It's all just a matter of perspective, really. When I was making less money and my monthly expenditures were much higher, I also could not quantify spending $60+ on...

Re: Best hardware for ripping BR discs

i have around 12-15 different drives, 8 of which i use on a regular basis, from both ASUS & LG...i have not yet obtained any Pioneer drives. from what i've experienced, bluray is pretty problem-free for the vast majority of things, and the ASUS/LG drives i have rarely experience any issues with ...

Option to permanently disable the "on-the-fly decryption software" warning

on the fly decryption warning.png I have always just clicked "Yes", and everything has always worked just fine (I almost always load ISO images I have created from my purchased discs, which I have already decrypted via other means, so MakeMKV never has to do any decryption anyway). Howeve...

Re: Chick Fight: Another Cursed Redbox Exclusive

so, when this title had just been released, I rented it and it was able to be read, no problem. however, I needed to re-encode it using a different codec, and I have gone through 5 (five!) of these steaming piles of doo-doo, and none of them have been readable in any of 8 optical drives that i have ...

Re: Game of Thrones 4K UHD Retail.

I had a TON of problems with ripping this whole series, purchased on Amazon U.S. Probably MORE than 1/2 of the discs initially had read errors, but I was able to clean the discs (sometimes it took more than one cleaning per disc), and eventually got all but 4 of the discs to backup. Did a return on ...

Re: Zombieland 4K UHD AACS 2.1

I am also having issues getting Zombieland 4K UHD to rip; I've already submitted the AACS dump. Here's a link to my first post in in the "AACS 2.1support" thread about it that I found before I was pointed to this one: Post #122 dump file: MKB21_v70_Zombieland_CC8A.tgz 36.7MB / 38,494,462 b...

also, the attached screenshot is what I get when I try to load the ISO image file directly, without taking the intermediate step of mounting in Daemon Tools Lite first:

Re: 4K playback at home

I'm not sure of your network layout, but I had some problems with my network that I just recently figured out and solved. Like you, I have wired gigabit throughout the network, as well as an AC access point serving wifi. However, my HTPC and media server are hardwired. I realized though, that as I w...

Re: Arrow endoed files order

Another way to verify episode names on some TV series, is that they sometimes put the name of the episode within the video. This used to be more common with some of the older shows (I know that Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Farscape, etc. do this), but that (sadly) has fallen out of favor in a l...
