Bumping this issue, I have just run into it ripping my Alien Anthology box set. Figuring out the main movie titles is trivial (biggest ones, then compare runtimes to figure out which is Theatrical cut and which is Director's/Special/etc) Thought it would be fun to throw the deleted scenes into Plex...

There are two different kinds of forced subtitles (if not burned in the video track) on a Blu-ray: a separate track for the forced subtitles embedded in the normal "full" subtitles with a forced flag on each text that should always be shown The "(forced only)" sub track option in...

Hi all, new to Ripping and it's more so a question of the hardware and this is my first post here. Pls bear in mind that I'm currently located in Germany and will be using the drive with my M2 MBP. Being where I am there was little choice of what external optical drive is available to be purchased ...

If you rip the disc once with all (English) subtitles enabled, you don't need to rip the disc a second time. With mkvtoolnix you can enable/disable tracks, switch flags for default and forced flags, or remux the movie (= repacking with different (subtitle) tracks or a different track order without r...

MakeMKV is not changing the videostream, only remuxing it into a Matroska container. Therefore the CC info that is embedded in the video stream should stay intact. But I could be wrong. MakeMKV uses ccextractor under the hood to convert the closed captions data to srt. But ccextractor itself can als...

Like Ezatoka already mentioned, the unselected Video on the 3D Blu-ray is the stereo part for the second eye. If you want to have the video in 3D format you need to check it, otherwise only a normal 2D version is ripped. If you don't care about 3D and a non 3D Blu-ray is included, you can also simpl...

For DVDs and normal Blu-rays, any drive that can read Blu-rays should work. Only UHD discs need LibreDrive support. Pioneer drives are considered to have the highest quality, but are hard to get in Germany at the moment. And since they are discontinued they probably never come back. But there are st...

Use the preferred segments and merge them in the correct order with makemkv. Out of curiosity how would you do that? With the linked chapters feature it's also possible to create a file that works like seamless branching on Blu-rays with all different segments in one file. And this too… how would y...

Extract the forced subtitles from the mkv with mkvextract which is part of mkvtoolnix. There is also a GUI wrapper available: gMKVExtractGUI After that, load the subtitle in BDSup2Sub and you can see what exactly is included. If you really want forced subtitles for all French dialogues but the force...

Does the log show any errors? Sadly some HD-DVDs are suffering from disc-rot. Especially from Warner Bros. Are the discs working properly on a dedicated player or your Xbox? A few years ago I contacted the WB support (Europe not US) and they offered me new Blu-ray discs for my damaged HD-DVDs after ...

Check the segment maps and attached audio and subtitle tracks from each version. If they are identical you can rip just one and that's it. If they differ only in the attached audio tracks, search for the one with the tracks you want. Or if you want multiple or even all tracks make an decrypted disc ...

You could try MPC-HC with MPC Video Renderer instead of VLC.

If you use hard drives in your NAS, it's not a good idea to directly rip four discs in parallel to it. The files will most likely end up very fragmented on the disc because they can't be written in one go to adjacent cells.

If the sticker states it's a Verbatim 43888, the seller either changed the sticker or changed the drive in the enclosure.
Based on the inlcuded drive, MakeMKV should either show a Pioneer BDR-UD04 or an LG BD-RE BU40N.

Can I ask what you paid for the drive?

Make sure "disabling all power saving in windows" includes the USB selective suspend setting:
