Re: Pioneer BDR-212DBK vs BDR-212V

FWIW, I just successfully ripped all 30 UHD discs of the "Game Of Thrones: The Complete Collection" UHD box set using a Pioneer BDR-212V in a OWC Mercury Pro (OWCMR3UKIT) enclosure. This is frivolous information to most, but it's a landmark for me as I never thought disc GOTUHD_S7_D2_B5 wo...

Re: Makemkv fails code 253

You need to understand that this is a container problem and that you need to ask here: https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine/issues Your container should have a command to update the key manually, it would look something like: docker exec -it $container_name sh -c up...

Re: Makemkv fails code 253

Apparently your container doesn't have makemkvcon so this can't be a makemkv problem, it's a container problem. As far as I know there is no official MakeMKV Docker image so you need to ask the container maintainer.

Re: Dune BD Backup Error

I'm completely convinced that if you're using a Pioneer UHD drive that you should pump at least 30 watts to it, which is probably double the amount of power a old USB 3.0 port can supply. I have a USB powered Pioneer XD07 UHD drive and it's one of the most unreliable drives I have. It's 50/50 on if ...

Re: UHD Disc(s) - 4 nearly identical files?

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.

Re: Where to download older versions of MakeMKV?

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.

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.

Re: MakeMKV Expired Key Work Around (MakeMKV-Loader)

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...

Re: MakeMKV Expired Key Work Around (MakeMKV-Loader)

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...

Re: Linux - Cant flash Firmware to ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.11

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.

Re: Feature Request Auto Open Tray

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.

Re: Forced subtitles

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...
