Re: Unique Disc ID

http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=926221 It seems, according to that thread, that DVD Profiler depends on something in Windows to generate a disc ID for DVDs. That thread is mostly about how a version of Windows 10 apparently changed how that was calculated so the new ve...

Re: Fairly inexpensive PC for Handbrake use?

The N150 nuc style boxes should be considered since for ~150usd you get a Intel with Quick Sync for encoding, 16GB RAM, 256GB of storage and 2.5gbs ethernet. You can download a .iso of Windows 11 trial here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 With a Type-C port and 1 HDMI + ...

Re: Error on Linux Mint 21.2

I don't know if it's hard coded, but does it pass the "which" test? You could link it:

Re: Unique Disc ID

... now I know discs have a unique disc ID. No, they do not have to. In fact I remember commercial DVDs that were seemingly authored once and simply had the VOBs swapped out... same volume label, menus and everything else. Choose a file or files that are always present on the disc and hash them. 7z...

Re: 5.25" drive mounting

Are there any kits or brackets that adapt 120mm fan holes to hold a 5.25" drive? I’m fine accessing it from the side panel if needed. I think this adaption is your best bet but I don't have a clue what orientation you're implying it would be in... vertical? Can you draw it? A 3D printer is han...

This does _NOT_ "fix the issue" with 1.17.8/9.

Re: trial key issue ?

The Linux version is known to be bugged in a few ways. There's definitely a flashing issue, a read speed issue and seemingly a issue when running a 64/32 bit OS on ARM. As long as there's no new bug fixes or feature updates, just keep using 1.17.6/7.

Re: Is there a way to create an ISO file with MakeMKV?

Can anyone recommend a better way ... Use .zip instead. Zip is easily created, mounted and modifiable in any OS, unlike UDF 2.5. Do you really need a large .iso file? Using the files and directories on file systems like ZFS or SnapRAID or Btrfs(?) is advantageous with their recovery aspects. You ca...

Re: What happened to MakeMKV between versions 1.15.3 (fast) and 1.15.4 (slow) ?

Does your drive read plain DVDs at 65MB/s? I would assume that is a buffered jump-start average, although later on staying at 5 MB/s for an extended period does seem odd. If it's truely ripping at 5 MB/s, then yes there might be a buffer problem somewhere. However, since data on a DVD is chunked at ...

Re: Makemkv says I use anydvd- I don't

Yes. For a kid I bought the 1977 movie "Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown" and it had that directory. I think I found the definitive proof that it's a bootleg on the AVS forum, but I'm not positive on that (could of been doom9). I bought it 2 more times from 2 other sources any they were t...

Re: Is there a way to create a seperate mkv for each title in a disc?

Without playlist obfuscation, this is dead simple:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
makemkvcon backup --decrypt --cache=16 --noscan -r --progress=-same disc:0 ./temp_dir
makemkvcon mkv file:./temp_dir/BDMV all ./temp_dir
for i in ./temp_dir/*.mkv; do
  echo do something with "$i";
done

Re: MakeMKV to Handbrake Pipeline

Because, unless you're going to use a predefined preset (--preset-list), you need load the preset(s) first, either with --preset-import-file or --preset-import-gui. Then you can select the preset with --preset. That's confusing. If it's in the GUI, --preset should just work, especially since the pa...
