Cool.

My thoughts are that I'm not sure what "weird shit" you're talking about but I suggest using the common practices of a shell. Also use double quotes ("") and put a she-bang up top so people understand which shell these commands are supposed to work in. Also since the entire thing...

Yes. Learn how to use "MKVToolNix GUI", plenty of tutorials.

Maybe look through this, it does assign expert mode in "app_string.py", although I'm not sure what it does with the value: https://github.com/me-dex/mmkv_abi

If ffmpeg can parse it, then why not use that? You might be better off running dvddecrypter through wine.

Correct. Only 4K UHD takes a special drive.

Although I do wish MakeMKV could rip SACD.

Why wouldn't it be? I'm not a C++ guru but taking something like MakeMKV GUI from qt5 to qt6 should be extremely elementary. If you look at the code it's not very complex, it's very C heavy with little C++ and very little of a class based approach (baring which is required by Qt). Sadly, I think due...

So it works again? You now need a version >= 0.96.4 ?

No. About a year and a half ago I bought 5 Pioneer BDR-212V's for 85 each and at that time, and even now, I consider $85 a lot for a optical drive :-/ (but I still bought 5 for a project). In other words, they haven't been "cheap" for a while and I'm not sure if the UHD compatible ones hav...

Know that "androidTV" is the old term for "GoogleTV", but there is also just "Android". If a device is advertised as "Android 14", that means it is _NOT_ GoogleTV certified so it will not play HD+ content on Netfilx, Prime, etc. apps (if you can even get the a...

Sadly MakeMKV does not support pre/post scripts, but if you always choose the same directory, maybe you could try 'mklink /d' to link 'backup' to it's parent directory. Of course if you don't always rip to the same directory this isn't really a viable option.

UPDATE: There's now multiple boxes that support VVC/h266... I didn't know :-/ TLDR; I'd wait :-/. Rockchip is apparently working on a SoC that utilizes a hardware decoder for VVC/H266 and Intel has added it to QuickSync, this means that the next generation of devices *should* be coming soon... *shou...

No. The best you can do is look at "writing_application" in the header editor and guess based on the release version of whatever program it is, but that doesn't really mean anything since you can use use very old versions of mkvmkerge's, handbrake's, etc. Going forward you could tag the mk...

Extract with whichever file archiver you have, for example I use Ark. You run those commands in each of the 2 directories you extracted, 1 for the bin, 1 for the oss. See if you can understand it from these commands (run 1 of the wget's to see what happens). #!/bin/bash mkdir ~/install_makemkv cd ~/...

On Linux... Sure, you can do that with any dark theme on a Linux desktop but, having it specific to the GUI is good for "other" operating systems. Sadly without a Git repo somewhere that someone can pull from, it's near pointless to take your time to modifying the code. The GUI is technic...
