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...

Re: makemkvcon read speed

I think the GUI sometimes prints a floating point value, so I assume the GUI calculates it.

Try starting both instances then in each instance check Preferences -> IO -> "Ask for single drive mode".

Re: Getting dropped frames with Kodi and VLC when playing 4k mkv files

Sadly, this happens to me with all devices. The Shield has notorious problems with stuck and/or dropped frames, I've had 2 of them and they both suffered this. This even rarely happens in my Panasonic DP-UB820 player. The least next to that is Coreelec on a Ugoos AM6B+ or Homatics Box R 4K Plus. The...

Re: Question to all: MakeMKV without GUI, console only

... i ended up creating a library ... Since you're familiar with QT you should add whatever you've created to the official GUI source, with patches. The GUI is notably lacking pre/post scripts and drive close, which are things you definitely want for automation. As for makemkvcon, even the most nov...
