I *think* these are for different languages or locality of some type, like having the crawling text at the opening of Star Wars in German instead of English.

Hopefully you"re not depending on USB power.

I have the same mini to capture DV via firewire and everytime I move the captures onto a USB drive I find that the USB ports may or may not be under powered for whichever USB->M.2 adapter I'm using.

"LosslessCut" *should* handle everything automatically and you can edit on I frames to remove titles/credits.

Strange, I have to keep my system time in July in order to decrypt anything

So you're implying that the program executes. Try putting keydb.cfg in $HOME/.MakeMKV. Anyhow, good luck.

Yes I used the backup option in the GUI. You should try it yourself, it's obviously a easy 1-liner.

Well, libfaketime seems to work on Ubuntu, so I'm sure it works on Alpine, although I'm not sure about Docker Alpine (but I don't see why not). You could also take a minimal Ubuntu install .iso and boot that with a VM, it's not a lightweight option but it's an easy one. # On Ubuntu 24.04 sudo apt in...

For Linux or MaC and possibly Windows (using WSL2), you can possibly use Docker with libfaketime: https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime (I have not tested this with Makemkv). The nice thing is that if libfaketime works and Makemkv makes a constant amount of syscalls for getting time, then libfaketim...

Try version 1.17.6 from this page: https://makemkv.com/download/old/

For Linux, it is seemingly the last known bug free version of makemkvcon.

You should really ask for pre and post scripts as these would solve this and plenty of other issues I've seen here being that users could post scripts.

For example, can you turn a SDH version into a non SDH version? No. For mkv's that have a forced subtitle track, are the forced subs also included in the main sub track every time? Yes. That Yes should be a No. I *think* it was John Wick where the forced subs had the language translated but the non...

... Topaz Video AI... I hope the results are quite good. :) It's fucking horrible. Probably the worst single example of video filtering you can find. I mean for all video filters of all types, not just upscaling. It's the Xing mp3 encoder of video filters. If you have a little bit of technical prow...

... but can a Fire Stick or something similar read decrypted Blu-ray folders on HDD? Or ISO files? I don't think so. No*? It can if you put Kodi on it and use your network. I hope you're not cavemaning it with USB. If so, you should change that first. The Nvidia shield is near trash. I've had two 2...

You recommended using two devices, but I'd like just one. Everyone wants just one device. ... the Google Play Store no longer works, nor does the YouTube app. This is why I recommend the Firestick 4K, because it's the longest supported streaming device that exists (all generations still are today)....

TLDR; Get the "AM6B Plus" instead and use another device for streaming apps. I have 2 vanilla Homatics, which is the same thing with the exception that the Dune branded one has a IR receiver. However, you can solder in a IR receiver into the vanilla Homatics if you want IR, which I've done...

That's an easy fix to get a higher output power supply. I have six 212Vs that are waiting for new enclosures because a higher power supply doesn't solve the 212V's power problem with my Kanguru USB 2.0 enclosures or Kanguru USB 3.0 enclosures. Out of the 4 different UHD 5.25 models I have, the 212V...
