We REALLY need an "open disc manually" mode for Blu-rays that bypasses all this 'smart' behaviour!!!

Back up the disc with MakeMKV then open the backup with MKVToolNix.

Plex will handle MKV just fine…

My approach for that is to rip just the menu to a new ISO with DVDShrink, then open that with MakeMKV.

It loads subsequent subtitle tracks faster, so it must cache something.

Use Subtitle Edit.

FLAC is more efficient than DTS-HD MA but is still lossless.

The ask was for a working link to FAQ #8, I provided it.

Use MKVToolNix.

Might be worth ripping the episodes separately and seeing if any of those error out.

I am having no success in finding that reference - can anyone help? There is an article about "if you have rip problems, read this first" - that references a "FAQ / Item 8" that sounds like it may be the answer. However, the FAQ page is empty or cannot be opened (http://www.make...

When I hit this, it was on a disc that turned out to be damaged and the track in question wouldn’t play cleanly in anything.

How do you use MakeMKV to "change the order weight for the track" with the Subtitles prior to ripping them with MakeMKV? Select the subtitle track, then on the right side panel there is a drop-down below the folder you are ripping to. Change that to “Order weight”, default is usually 90, ...

Worth noting that if you don’t want to re-encode with Handbrake, you can change the order with a remux in MKVToolNix. You can also change the order before ripping in MakeMKV by changing the order weight for the track.

There is the “Forced” flag you can set in MKVToolNix on the Header tab, which some players recognize. That’s what I use on Plex at least.

Just right click and choose open. You’ll only need to do that once.
