Re: New old stock 2018 Pioneer BDR-S11JBK
Ali Express ... will refund you if it turns out to be a fake... This is not an objective fact, it's 50/50 at best. AliExpress uses what e-bay uses which is what they both call "deliberation". The reality is that it's not deliberation but corporatism, meaning the burden of proof is solely ...

Re: Problems with slideshows
This was never a Matroska container problem, it's a player problem. Safest way is to copy the frame to duplicates in the quantity of $seconds * $framerate and join them back. I think you *might* be able to do this with ffmpeg in place, but dumping the frames to a bmp (or whatever) then globing them...

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Are you all mainly looking for the ease of access to the titles? Using these planned obsolescence devices is not a wise decision, but I understand if the concern is mainly the ease of access to the titles, not the device or file properties. I feel like someone needs to keep reiterating to newer peop...

Re: All Pioneer drives will be LibreDrive supported
Lithium based products have taken over these applications almost entirely.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
I'm sorry, I thought you all were chatting about https://www.kaleidescape.com/ (which does state that). Which product are you all talking about?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Someone is for sure going to reverse engineer the Kaleidescape... Be careful, this is almost certainly a gimmick. Read the specs, or only the one spec of "every 4K movie available" in 192TB... yeah that's not happening. I'm older so I've seen these gimmick players come and go for over 25 ...

Re: Bug allows MKV files with leading period or dot
It's trivial with BASH to remove the '.' character. I'm not sure which shell you're using, but you can execute BASH with the '-c' switch and pass just about any command.
Code: Select all
bash -c 'for i in .*; do mv "$i" "${i:1}"; done'

Re: Rip to NAS or to PC first? How to multiple discs?
Also consider setting up a dedicated PC as a storage solution as an alternative to a NAS. NAS enclosures are surprisingly costly these days, unaffordably so. 3D printer is the answer. You can download CAD files and send them to places like jlc3dp.com and come out a couple hundred USD ahead. I have ...

Re: Identifying Episodes after conversion to mkv
I've labeled a few series' by using the seconds of rips found on the internet, but it's hit or miss (50/50) because some things you download have the production cards or color bars or something edited out, even if it's a "Remux". However, I believe Twin Peaks downloaded "Remuxes"...

Re: 3D blu-ray to .iso?
... rip with makemkv "backup disk" and then convert it to .iso with ImgBurn? Yes, rip with MakeMKV then use imgburn. Yes you put all the files from the root of the disc to the root of the image. I *think* only DVDFab will save directly to a .iso. Obviously if the files required to run the...

Re: Identifying Episodes after conversion to mkv
With a little bit of scripting you might be able to match them based on $SECONDS, but the tough part might be finding a source online that stores the seconds (not just minutes) of each episode which can also be scraped via wget/curl to get the JSON/CSV/etc. I could post here a JSON for the episodes ...

Re: BD Drive for non UHD Ripping
Please explain "LibreDrive". Can the drive's firmware still be flashed to a "LibreDrive" if the host key is revoked? Can non-UHD drives be flashed to a "LibreDrive"? Can a "LibreDrive" be utilized in "Libre" fashion by other programs besides MakeMKV?...

Re: 3D blu-ray to .iso?
.imgburn on Windows. I'm on Linux but, if I wanted to do it right now I'd download Windows 11 from Microsoft.com and run it in Virtualbox, saving the resulting. iSO to a NFS mount.
I"ve read you van do it with BSD, but I never tried.

Re: Help Sourcing Parts for 5-Bay Internal UHD/Blu-ray Ripping MakeMKV Setup
700usd is not doable, you'll need to spend more. I've used 5 "Digital Pioneer BDR-212V" for UHD but I only did this twice (10 discs total). I don't rip regularly so I'm not sure if they're good drives, but the drives can be had sometimes for ~85usd on Amazon. After tax this came out to be ...

Yes you should enable the "Decrypt video files" if viewing directly off the disc. See, 1 reply and this is already confusing...
