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

So, this may or may not be related. I offer it as advice to others with issues similar. I was having very odd problems, on multiple systems running multiple versions, both debian fwiw. 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.

I have not, wasn't aware of this functionality, I'll give it a go tonight when my drive is free. Already have what I needed, but good for future reference, thanks!

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.

Re: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Complete Collection Volume 4 Disc 1

As an addendum, the linux dvdbackup tool was able to handle this disc. Detects all 7 titles in the titleset with dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 -I Rips them with for i in {1..7}; do mkdir ep0$i; dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 -o ./ep0$i -t $i;done was able to get them into a state that VLC can play with for i in {1.....

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Complete Collection Volume 4 Disc 1

I'll start off by saying this is probably due to Adult Swim's historically abysmal DVD authoring, because I've had the same results with 2 copies now. Basically, on this disc, there are 7 episodes and a bunch of extras. Don't care about the extras, just the episodes. What happens is with makemkv, it...

Re: Zombieland 4K UHD AACS 2.1

Sent in a tgz for this, too, from 1.17.7 and a Pioneer BDR-S13U-X. Dunno if it will help, but here's hoping. Of the hundreds of discs in my collection, this is the only one I've been unable to rip yet. This is the CC8A variant

Improperly compressed 1.17.7 archives

Seems the 1.17.7 release isn't packaged properly. $ tar xvf makemkv-bin-1.17.7.tar.gz tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors However, if gzip -d it first, $ gzip -d makemkv-bin-1.17.7.tar.gz $ tar xvf makemkv-bi...

Re: 1.17.4 Deleting Failed RIP

I know this is an older thread, but I ran across it while hoping to find a setting that would prevent makemkv from automatically deleting failed rips. There isn't one. But, if you're on linux (and probably mac, but I don't know because I don't care, and for all I know but seriously doubt Windows, bu...
