Jeeves and Wooster, the discs of doom

I was going to post here asking for help, but I figured out a solution, so I thought I'd share it in case anyone else has a similar issue on this or another DVD. Got the Jeeves and Wooster box set. Popped it into my Pioneer BDR-S13U-X, a Billycar special. Nothing, the disc isn't recognized either by...

Re: Fong Sai Yuk 2 dump submitted

I actually sent it to you directly :D

But sure, I'll upload it. I used to use file.io for this, and apparently while I was sleeping they were acquired by limewire, and subsequently destroyed, so I'll look for a new anonymous host to use that I like, and push them up and post them here.

Re: Direct play of Blu-Rays on VLC

Gonna need some more detail. "VLC stills throws errors" isn't enough info to go on. What specific errors does it throw, what specific steps did you take to get to that point, what OS, what version of VLC and makemkv, etc?

Re: Identifying Episodes after conversion to mkv

One thing I've found helpful, and an option that is often but not ALWAYS available, many discs will have both the individual episodes, and a "play-all" track available. For example, you'll have 10 episodes on a disc, 4GB each, and one 40GB track that has all episodes in one file, and in-or...

Re: Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed.

Interesting note for anyone else struggling here, I use privateinternetaccess to route all my traffic, and I was unable to download the HK file while on it (they don't, as far as I can tell, do any kind of geoblocking, kinda the opposite of how they roll), and found that I had to be OFF the VPN to d...

Re: MakeMKV above v1.17.7 still broken on Linux

First problem was that I couldn't download new keys. That was going on for a while, but since I had KEYDB.cfg, I ju...

Re: Arrow Video UHD Discs Unreadable on UHD Friendly Drives?

Not to be argumentative, but dear god, please do not dry with a paper towel! Use something non-abrasive, a paper towel will scratch. On the occasion I need to clean a disc, I only use silk, but anything microfiber will be better than a paper towel.

Re: Dump submitted for The Ring

Pretty sure it's a different disc version, this was the steelbook that just came out. Submitted it a few days before I got to posting. Works today though! Mike is a wizard.
