The user did, however, have a ffmpeg command to test .mkv files for corruption... Thanks! I'll give this a try. This turns out to be a very slow, and didn't reveal any warnings or errors where mkvalidator did. The problem could be, of course, that my Zidoo might be sensitive to issues that it shoul...

My wife and I were watching Raiders of the Lost Ark yesterday (she told me specifically that she was in a mood to see Nazis get melted). We were watching a copy of the movie when playback stuttered and skipped about 12 minutes in. Then again about 25 minutes in. This movie was ripped using MakeMKV a...

with 2 drives that what you want anyway to be able to rip 2 discs at once and not have the the program ping each drive and cause it to hang. really it should be enabled by default would not hurt people with 1 drive and would save alot of email of my drive hangs and goes slow when i open another mak...

ok i have tested it and i am not able to reproduce it works fine for me but i do have ask for single drive mode enabled so try enabling it and see if it works. Okay, it works for me now when using single-drive mode. It's a bit counter-intuitive that I need single-drive mode to fully use multiple dr...

Do you have 'ask for single drive mode' checked in MakeMKV's preferences?

Nope, not checked.

I have two BD drives in my system. I notice that if I insert two discs at a time (something that's handy for speeding up ripping multiple discs) only the volume name of the first disc inserted appears in Windows Explorer, and VLC can only play content from that disc. MakeMKV handles both discs at th...

I have the US 4K release of Aliens. The "Play All" option of the deleted/extended scenes brings up a sequence which is 7 chapters, 6:39 in length. I looked all through the titles displayed by MakeMKV but couldn't find a match. When I loaded the whole disc as a source into HandBrake, howeve...

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. Thanks for tip. I'm seeing, for instance, that VLC is reading from G:\BDMV\STREAM\00063.m2ts while a particular episode is playing, ...

...making it difficult to know what's what until after you rip a disc. Sometimes I can tell what's what by the length (duration) of an episode, playing episodes with VLC, seeing how long each is, and matching titles of the same length. This helps identifying extras/bonus material as well. But it's f...

I seem to recall there's a way to change the region in VLC software, probably in the preferences somewhere. Unfortunately, I rarely use VLC so can't point you directly to it. I found a region setting in PowerDVD, based on your comment. I'm not sure yet if I was changing the region for PowerDVD itse...

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

Ah! So there is no convenient built-into Windows interface for the Blu-ray region, just the DVD region.

Forgive me that this isn't a MakeMKV-specific question. I'm just hoping people here might have expertise on this subject. I'm not having any problem ripping Region 2 content using MakeMKV, even though all three drives I've tried (an internal Pioneer, an internal LG, and a USB external drive) are set...

for now you must buy through a seller in your region with old FW.

I'm in the US. Where could I find someone to sell me a 4K Pioneer drive (preferably an internal drive) with the old FW?

Answering here or in a PM is fine if you prefer. Thanks.

A general question about discs that need new decryption keys:

Do you need to update the MakeMKV application itself to handle such discs, once someone figures out the needed decryption, or does MakeMKV "phone home" to get the new key without having to be updated?
