There's a couple on this page, I never used them, but "TMPGEnc Authoring Works" or "multiAVCHD" looks good enough.

... don't seem to need this older version ... Currently the GUI (oss) and bin (makemkvcon) do not have to version match. If you already had a working 1.18.x GUI, then all you needed was to run the 1.17.6 bin in the matching environment, hence you didn't need to compile anything or use the oss files...

If that's a user error then what error that could be?

I don't know. Rip the files off the disc then use MKVToolNix GUI with the .mpls file (playlist) and then check it.

Thank you for the info. I'll try this soon. Right, but in case you haven't worked it out yet, the tape can adhere to the inner ring that almost all disc labels don't fully adhere to and you can wrap it underneath if you can discern that the data isn't written to the brim. The aggravating part about...

If the files on the disc have HDR in them, then it might be impossible to not get HDR. I've never seen a option that states ~"Strip HDR". I'm thinking this is user error.

Blu-ray menu support is dependent upon 1 library and Java's JRE so I don't think the OS matters. I *think* like most software in 2025 that the library is developed on Linux, but I don't think it matters. As far as I know, Windows doesn't support many filesystem options you might want to use like ZFS...

... it's in a format that requires compiling... The binary is not available in source form, it's only available in binary form.You download the bin and gunzip it (twice :-/) and run the appropriate binary. Or in your case, you need to add the binary to the image or make it available to the containe...

I had this problem with a few ~1996'ish Taiyo Yuden's that suffered horrible flaking so I put polyimide tape over them. It stopped the flaking although the discs still didn't read :-/.

Or spend $$$$ for micro-LED (or get a OLED). You can't really stop bleeding with backlights, it's just not financially viable yet and I'm sure even micro-LED has the problem to an extent. Bring plasma back...??? Plasma TV's were horrible for the environment during the boom era ~15 years ago because ...

If you can use CAD at all to any extent you can have one 3D printed from JLCPCB. I use them for my SMD PCBs but I have used them twice for SLA printing and they were as fast as you can expect. The current maximum SLA size is 580*580*390mm, so technically you could have your entire case SLA printed. ...

The checksum routine is broken, it's double compressed, for example decompress with:

a "secret" subtitle track No. If you open your resulting "movie.mkv" in MKVToolnix GUI you will see all subtitle tracks, in fact you can see all streams of all types. Your player will probably display the first subtitle/stream flagged as "default" and/or "forced&q...

subtitles in his MP4... without hard-coding. If you're going to experiment you should try to add support for subtitles in your preferred player. No player supports the "DATUM" or possibly "tbox" (never used tbox myself) fields for Quicktime. Circa 2001 I put subtitles in Quickti...

... says it is scanning the first CD-ROM, and then just hangs.

Try the makemkvcon 1.17.6 binary and see if it still hangs: https://makemkv.com/download/old/makemk ... 7.6.tar.gz

TLDR; don't bother. I have it and have used it on 1 disc, 10,000 Maniacs - MTV Unplugged: https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/08952/40183-6/10000-Maniacs:-MTV-Unplugged For the video, between the VHS copy I captured via composite (Laserdisc video is composite) and directly with Domesday, I can tell very ...
