Re: Add chapters from mediainfolog/text file to MKV conveniently & easily?

Does anyone here wish to exchange chapter titles and timestamps for movies and what-not? We can verify which version we have and go from there, but.....I have plenty of movies that I have made text files for and even matched them to blu-ray or UHD versions (for they shortened the chapters available)...

Re: DVD/Blu-ray chapter lists

Hi all. I am digitizing my collection and I have many DVDs & Blu-rays that need Chapter breaks (Title names). Over 95% of my DVDs have the paper inserts with those names. I have created Text files with the proper format and have the correct timestamps to make this painless and super quick using ...

Laser Disc Digitizing

I am bringing this up and forgive me if I am not the first. I did search beforehand, but.....I have heard of a kit called Domesday and it basically captures the RF signal from a Laser Disk player, VHS or anything that has RF in it and captures raw RF data, bypassing the heads, which gives us the bes...

Re: All Pioneer drives will be LibreDrive supported

208 and newer for desktop will do UHD and xd05 and newer for usb will do UHD thanks for the heads up and this useful post. this is very useful information on what pioneer drives to look out for hoarding since they will no longer be made. shame on pioneer for that ultra-nazi 2023 encrypted firmware ...

Re: 2000+ rips on my 8 drive NAS

I could be wrong, for I am not a law expert, but from what I've read....it says that "Digitizing Services: You may find services that offer to digitize your Blu-ray collection. These services might navigate legal complexities by ensuring you retain ownership of the original discs or that the pr...

Re: Road Trip UHD problem

The 2nd replacement was from Amazon and I managed to use a friend's optical drive and that worked. Doesn't do me good if I need to rip it again from my 2 drives, so I think those 2 discs were my Pioneer drives being incompatible somehow, but you would think that each drive failed for 2 of the UHD ve...

Road Trip UHD problem

Sorry if this may be in the wrong spot, but I just went through 2 UHD versions of the movie Road Trip from Kino Lorber. Both discs don't play at all and i checked other UHD discs and they spin-up just fine, but it seems strange that 2 of them in a row have done this. I have 2 Pioneer BDR-212 optical...

Re: How to keep chapters when ripping my DVD's and Blu-ray's????

I think what everyone wanted to know is this: 1. You rip the DVD, Blu-ray or UHD disc movie. 2. It puts that into a folder 3. You use that folder using MakeMKV and see usually the Title of said movie (Say The Goonies (1985) 4. Below that, you have Chapters (usually the names are generic and the same...

Re: LG Slim Portable UHD BP60NB10

The only thing I found concerning my drive is: BP60NB10 on any Firmware directly to > BP60NB10 1.02MK I have firmware 1.02 currently. Does this just change it to 1.02MK and it becomes enabled to rip the UHD discs? The link above to download says it's Hybrid_Firmware_for_BP50NB40_to_BP60NB10. Not wit...

LG Slim Portable UHD BP60NB10

I bought this a long time ago and I thought I gave it away, but was sitting in my basement collecting dust. It works just fine, but since I am ripping UHD's, I figured maybe this can work possibly if flashed right. I have no clue on flashing, but....would love to ask if anyone knows if this can be. ...

Re: Lessons learned from backing up hundreds of discs

Does everyone run the slim, external, Pioneer or is there a good 5.25 internal Pioneer drive for old guys like me who like their giant, old school, tower cases? I just got my hands on one of those slim external Pioneers from Adorama. Very handy since most PC cases these days don't have slots for 5....

Re: How to keep chapters when ripping my DVD's and Blu-ray's????

When I rip a TV show or movie, I always saw chapters using MakeMKV. I can even go so far as to name the Episode, then even name the chapter breaks, so when you play in PLEX, VLC Player or what-not can see those clearly. What I would like to know is.....is there anything that can be used with MakeMKV...

Ripping and naming for discs

I am new and have been using MakeMKV for a month or so, but have a few questions that are related to each other. 1. I have many TV shows. Lets say Season 1-11 for MASH. I can rip discs in MakeMKV with no problems. What I would like to do is: A) - For each episode on the MASH discs, they typically ha...

Re: Pioneer BDR-XS07UHD is KING for UHD 4K Blu Ray Ripping

Not sure if it helps, but can the firmware be downgraded? I have DVDFab 12 and there is a utility called UHD Drive Tool. I used it to downgrade my LG drives firmware. I'm pretty sure it only works with specific drives, but......if this is one of them, it does it very quickly and if it's not, you can...
