Re: makemkv feature request slow hdd

The problem with a large buffer is that then you have to wait a long time after the reading is done... I'm not advocating anything about the slow disk message but if the optical drive keeps vying against the destination volume then you're putting needless wear on your optical drive. Also, OOM race ...

Re: makemkv feature request slow hdd

surely, everyone wil lhave some way Apparently not. If the drive slows down and does not speed up again, then I can see wanting a larger buffer, but that doesn't change the point of the message. However, you need to prove that the drive slows down and never speeds backup to ever warrant any buffer ...

Re: makemkv feature request slow hdd

- How do you know the drive isn't fast enough to write to unless you try to write to it? - If the data is already being written as fast as possible, what performance changes are possible? Increasing buffer size won't speed up your rips, so maybe you should request an option so that the message can b...

Re: Pass through SATA Blu Ray Drive (Proxmox -> Docker)

Have you tried adding "--privileged" (privileged: true under makemkv: for compose) just to see if it works at all? If you run it privileged and it still doesn't work, but it does work on the host, then the most likely cause is that it isn't actually mounted at sr0, it may actually be at sr...

Change framerate from 24 to 23.967
I thought a PGS stream was independent of the video framerate. The vanilla delay option in MKVToolNix didn't work? I used it once on a Chinese kids cartoon and it worked (at least for a 20min cartoon).

Re: Feature Request: Backup directly to ISO

Personally I don't want an .iso and I'm annoyed that DVD backups automatically create them. :) I'm hesitant to rip DVDs because of this :-/. I have a little 3 or 4 line script that can rip and extract them, but I still don't like it because you still need that intermediate .iso file :-/. FYI, 7z ca...

Re: purchased a CD DVD duplicator robot

TLDR; if you've assembled a 3D printer and can do the most basic "Arduino programmimg" the conversion can be had for about $60usd and 6hrs time. To convert it to command and control you need to swap out the stepper or servo controller and add a driver. For both servo and stepper motors you...

Re: TrueHD seamless branching audio dropouts still a thing?

You're SOL unless a newer Kodi fixes it _AND_ you backport Kodi, although you might be able to find a backport. Personally I can't tell the difference between P7 and P8, they literally look identical to me. For that reason I'm looking to leave the AM6B+ behind. Sadly so far I haven't seen a great re...

Does no video with subtitles work in players?

I know it's odd, but I could see if you were listening to a .mka (audio file) in a different language but still want to know what was being sung. Or even for audio books/sing-a-longs. Regardless, I can't get them to display in VLC or SMPlayer.

Re: Blu-Ray burning software in 2025...

ImgBurn believe or not is still the most complete for burning Blu-ray since it can create UDF 2.5 compliant discs. If you're not going to burn UDF 2.5 discs or discs that need to play in set-top players, then I *think* just about anything will do (although I'm not sure how layer breaks are handled f...
