Re: [Feature Request] multiple languages and database support

Both good ideas, but don't hold your breath! I've been making feature requests for a number of years (that was actually the reason I joined this forum), but I'm yet to see any feature request, mine or anyone else's, added to the program. Even bug reports seem to be ignored! I haven't set a preferred...

Re: Stargate SG-1 Blu-ray Box Set

I'd guess that you'll be able to send PMs once you have a few more posts? Either way, we know it works, kinda. Eighteen hours into the upload and it's currently at 69%... I estimate I'll have the URL to you some time this evening (my time that is, maybe another ten hours)? I really hope this works! ...

Re: Stargate SG-1 Blu-ray Box Set

Just got out of bed to check (it's 2am here in Eastern Australia)... Ten and a half hours in and we're at 38% so a little ahead of my ETC (but not by much)!

I really need a better internet connection! :oops:

Re: Unencrypted Backup from Encrypted Backup

Yes, you can create an encrypted backup using MakeMKV, but why would you?

If you have the disc in the drive, you would simply ignore everything above and make a decrypted backup instead!

The above procedure is only necessary if you have previously made an encrypted backup and want to decrypt it.

Re: Stargate SG-1 Blu-ray Box Set

Stargate SG-1 S9D4 00007.m2ts is uploading to my cloud account now, but it's slow going. It's been running for three hours and it just passed ten percent, so I expect it will be another twenty four hours (+/-) before it's ready.

I'll PM you the URL when it's done.

Re: Windows going to sleep during ripping

As an aside, one quirk I've noticed is that, if working direct from disc when Windows goes to sleep, you lose your entire setup (naming tracks, etc). But if working from a backup, all your setup comes back up when Windows wakes up again! What I did was to disable the automatic sleep timer in Windows...

Re: Stargate SG-1 Blu-ray Box Set

I literally spent months going back and forth with VEI and eventually contacted a law firm in Toronto because I was getting nowhere with whatever smart-ass I was dealing with at the company (who wouldn't even give me their name despite countless requests). It was just excuse after excuse, dodging qu...

Re: Photo ID needed for purchase?!

@PayPro Global Asking for photo ID over the internet is ridiculous on so many levels. As I pointed out earlier in this thread, how can you verify that the photo ID belongs to the person making the transaction when you can't see them? And if someone has had their wallet stolen, don't you think the th...

For the information of future purchasers, is there a way to tell the old version from the new before buying it (ie. without removing the shrink wrap)?

Re: TV series on Blu-rays often don't have titles in episode order...

You are correct, MakeMKV drops the leading zeroes from the file names in segment maps, so a "63" in the segment map equals 00063.m2ts For me, that's actually a bit of a PITA! I "text-map" all my discs using Notepad++, which has a neat feature where you can double-click a word/num...

Re: TV series on Blu-rays often don't have titles in episode order...

Assuming you're using Windows, there's an app called "Process Monitor" that will tell you which specific file is being accessed WHILE IT'S PLAYING in VLC.

Re: Audio out of sync from movie..like a bad dubbing

I think you'd be surprised just how much audio is actually "dubbed in during post production" of movies. Unless it's filmed on a sound stage, probably around 95% of what you hear is added later, including ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement)! However, I can't think how a different optical ...

~ the first file, theatrical version, completed but had several AV sync issues in stream errors. Because of this I did not try to play it yet. Second file, extended or special, failed. In this case a lot of Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR L-EC UNCORRECTAABLE or STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR. No idea. ~ AV Syn...

Re: mkvmerge --split returns unexpected results

AFAIK, the only way to add a "transition" is by using a video editing suite (pretty much ANY video editing suite).

Re: Unencrypted Backup from Encrypted Backup

It should work, I've done it myself. As soon as I mount the ISO image (assigning it a virtual drive letter), Windows "AutoPlay" pops up asking me what I want to do with the newly connected drive. I have MakeMKV added to the default programs for optical discs so I just click on that, but if...
