Pleae advise as to when a new patch is available.

Just a heads up, they never respond to the emails, you just have to periodically retry until one day it starts working.

I check it periodically with the hopes that one day it will become more supported (in my case, particularly by Plex), but it doesn’t seem like there is much interest from anyone who would the ability to implement it.

The MKV format has settings to set a crop on the video track which can be changed with mkvtoolnix. However, in my experience most players either ignore them or handle them in very wrong or confusing ways. If it worked, it would be perfect for that, but I just end up re-encoding.

Numbered regions are for DVDs, lettered regions are for Blu-rays.

It’s not clear to me what you’re looking for. A merge is effectively just playing two files back to back.

LosslessCut seems nice at first sight, but costs around 20 euro to download from the MS app store and there is no trial version. The source code on github is free, but do I really need to be a source code developer to trim a video file? It’s free on GitHub, and you do not need to compile it yoursel...

The trick is that you can’t easily split without a keyframe, since you can’t start the next segment between keyframes without re-encoding at least a piece of it.

In LosslessCut, on the Export screen, turn off “Keyframe cut mode”. Depending on what you’re doing, you may want to try turning on “Smart cut”, which reencodes only the section between the closest keyframe and the cut point. In my experience, that is usually not required when trimming off the end th...

It will split at the nearest keyframe, which can potentially be far away depending on the video.

My solution for that sort of thing is to use LosslessCut, which can be frame perfect in more situations: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

On the other hand the print quality of the cover is so dull, grainy and looks like it's printed on regular A4 paper (no gloss/shine) that it really does look like a bootleg. Not sure what to think :| This alone sounds to me like you got a bootleg, all my real Warner Archive discs have had high qual...

The biggest tells were the case artwork was low quality, as if it had been scanned and reprinted, and the label on the disc itself was completely wrong, using cropped art from the case instead of the more boring standard Warner Archive disc label with just the logo and some text.

Damn, is this something you have witnessed or are you just speculating? Sincere question.

I have personally received bootlegs of a few Warner Archive titles. I reported the sellers, but nothing happened to them and they continue to sell bootlegs on various marketplaces.

Bootlegs of the DVD-R Warner Archive discs are rampant, because it’s much harder to prove when you were expecting a DVD-R to begin with.

I’ve had no issues ripping Warner Archive “DVD Download” discs.
