Re: Buying makemkv and linux?

makemkvcon only comes in binary form. The GUI will have to be compiled. You might be better off running Windows in a VM to use MakeMKV. I'm not sure why you're correlating purchasing to distribution form and I also assuming that you're implying you'd prefer an executable, because it's extremely comm...

Re: Newbie Question about DVD Resolution

Look for the DVD logo (_NOT_ the Blu-ray logo) and the back cover should list the DVD region/format.

Try to buy the PAL/European/Region 2 version to potentially get 96 more lines of resolution.

Re: Playback issue on Dune HD Homatics Box R 4k Plus

Which player? Could your chosen player crash if it can't read the file fast enough or if it fails to fill a buffer once? I have the OEM Homatics version and it doesn't come with a player ... I don't think. I've used VLC and Kodi via NFSv4 and it works fine. Kodi in particular will by default tell yo...

Re: My drive going bad?

The plastic used for that box set might erroneously have a certain amount of self-healing properties or too much moisture or ... Regardless, I'd never use the Game of Thrones UHD box set as a reference for anything.

Re: My drive going bad?

As usual, you'll have to have at least 1 more drive to begin to know. Is that Game of Thrones the 4K UHD box set? Across the 3 sets I bought, all of them had at least 2 random discs and 1 common disc that wouldn't read. 1 of the 3 sets had 6 discs that wouldn't read and for all 3 sets season 7 disc ...

Re: Can someone get this noob going?

I bought 5 of these Pioneers for a CD loader project: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R89FN61

Sadly for some strange reason they return all 0000's for CD sub channel data, so they don't work for the purpose I'm intending, but they do work for Blu-ray/UHD after flashing the appropriate Libre firmware.

Re: Edit MKV file

No reripping of the disc, no. Also, never remux if you don't have to. You can use mkvpropedit or with MKVToolNix GUI you can use the "Header editor" to modify values and then save the values (Ctrl+s or from top menu). This won't require remuxing so it saves in less than a second. Some thin...

Re: MakeMKV causing audio sync issues

I assume the first/last field for the file is being discarded but, why would this cause audio sync problems? The only framerate'ish like attribute of audio is the bytes per second, i.e. 2 * 44100 * 2 = 176400. If there is a correlation created by the container, then the muxer should account for this...

Debian is not Ubuntu.

No, this is part of containerization. If the contained program itself could decide to write to the root FS, then there would be no point. Effectively you're wanting to give the jail keys to the prisoner.

Re: If you're experiencing rip errors, please read here first!

Generally speaking, if MakeMKV produces output files, they're good. On error, maybe generally at best. I had a rip fail to complete 4 times, but on a 5th attempt it completed stating "Read Error". Did the 5th attempt rip all files correctly? Completion rate: 0.2, Error Free: 0. Without be...

Re: Version too old but is latest

..., perhaps you are correct and I am somehow stupid. Seems possible, yes. On Linux I can't access the GUi's about screen if the version is too old because a modal form appears forcing exit. I'm not sure if that is simply a difference between platforms or if it's indicative of something. Run "...

Re: MakeMKV v1.17.8 ripping very slow with HDD based mkv's

I can't repeat this, it's working fine for me.

However, looking around here at the problems posted, I'm thinking that 1.17.8 for any platform is... not good.
