Re: Reproducable MKV Creation

No... So to create something similar to what audio CDs isn't really possible or restrictions would have to be applied. I know audio CDs had restrictions created for disc submission to CDDB and other programs followed them, although it's obviously easier with CDs as the stream you want is already &q...

Re: Reproducable MKV Creation

If you want to verify the content was ripped correctly... While hashing is faster, if you were going to keep the files you can just create a small par2 set which will not only check the files but repair them (possibly). I can't argue that checking the files on disc to the files you've ripped is nic...

Re: Reproducable MKV Creation

Lazy? Almost nobody names files when ripping music CDs. There's also a lot of people that use things like Plex/Jellyfin that scrape data based on a filename they don't care about. There's also people who want the TV episodes they rip auto-identified. There's also the case that if your hard drive fai...

Re: Reproducable MKV Creation

Please elaborate: What's the benefit? I think they're thinking to ultimately identify content, say S07E05 of Game of thrones with just a hash value. Of course, who would keep the database of these hashes is the real question since running things like http://gnudb.org or http://db.cuetools.net isn't...

Re: Reproducable MKV Creation

mkvextract has a "raw" switch, I tried it and it seemingly worked. Read here: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=177372#p177372 Data other than the streams is junk and you really don't want to validate junk. If you're thinking along the lines of something like "TorrentZip...

Re: Small feature request: select all/deselect all video sources

There's a option in the right-click menu.

Although I do think the default should be everything unselected.

Re: How do I play Bluray movies directly from the disk?

I *think* you link libmmdb to libaacs and libbdplus and any program that uses those uses libmmdb via hook. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2047&p=8499&hilit=libmmbd+service#p8499 Although ideally I think you can put libmmbd.so.0 in /usr/lib and be done with it if the ...

Re: Recommended Optical Drive - Sep 2025

...not fussy about reading second hand cd's. For UHD you should try to get a Pioneer and see if you can get it flashed to Libre. CDs are a different game and none of these UHD drives are great at ripping CD. Some will read from the cache, some won't read CD-TEXT, some wont' read subchannel data. Al...

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...

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.
