A bad disk. The drive seems to function perfectly well otherwise.

To answer my own question ... You can pre-rip the DVD in question with dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 conv=noerror > Desktop/blah.iso The conv=noerror tells dd to ignore errors. And then mount this image for MakeMKVing. I don't know if all the errors in the image will break the MakeMKV part of the process, ...

Hi-ya, Is there anyway to work around a bad disk? I have a few DVDs (not bluray) that wont rip because of, well, i don't know, manufacturing faults?

Hi, Just a very minor bug report. I buy a lot of foreign language TV-series DVDs and then rip them. Typically on a DVD is a bunch of episodes (/N/ titles), where each title has Mpeg2 Video, and "[x] Subtitles English" already selected. But the only audio track "DD Stereo Japanese"...

Also would like to see this feature in MakeMKV, but until that I wrote a little script to do it for me. #!/bin/sh file=$1 timecodes=`mkvextract chapters -s "${file}"|grep "CHAPTER[0-9][0-9]="|sed '1,1d;:a;N;$!ba;s/CHAPTER[0-9][0-9]\=//g;s/\n/,/g'` mkvmerge --split timecodes:&quo...

I was trying to rip the movie from the disc which only contains special features! Doh!

Just ignore me next time

Does this help: http://www.pcworld.com/article/159793/watch_mkv_video_files_in_windows_media_center.html Which also seems to be the solution here: http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/01/playing-mkvs-in-media-center.html From what I've just read (I'm a Linux + MythTV user myself, don't do windows), there's t...

I'm probably being a pedant, but MKV is a container format, not a CODEC. MakeMKV takes whatever format the disc is in, and re-packs it into a MKV container, so say you are ripping blue-ray - your MKV would be packed with a MP4/h264 video, or perhaps VC-1. The subtitles are also packed into the MKV -...

When the 'tree" representing the content of the disk is shown - after you scan the disk. but before you start the rip. Drill down through the tree, and you will see the subtitle tracks checked for inclusion. Mine defaults to selecting english. There's "forced" subtitles and ordinary s...

I hacked around a script I found on this site which played the live stream. I should have left the original authour's details in the comments, but I didn't. My apologies to them. !/bin/bash cat /home/knobbi/Bin/blueray_please_wait.png > /dev/null qiv /home/knobbi/Bin/blueray_please_wait.png & # ...

Hi, I'm a purchased-key user of MakeMKV. I updated to the 1.6.3 (linux) version a few weeks ago. I just wanted to say that it's performing very well. I haven't had a problem using it with any of my titles, and it exhibits no bugs at all. Because of this, MakeMKV has become an indispensable addition ...

I partially sorted this out - Obviously the streamed file has multiple audio tracks. Of course! (doh!) However, streaming my copy of "Open Season 2" which has 3 languages (according to the cover: English, French & Spanish), this gave an stream in which VLC said there was 7 audio tracks...

Hi,

Is there any way I can select the audio-track language with makemkvcon ?

thanks,
