Jellyfin is great for someone just getting into it. It's free so it's good to learn how things work, then you might go onto something like Plex later on, only downside is if you use a NAS it doesn't have a official installer package. So it's a bit harder to put on a NAS. If the NAS supports Docker ...

It depends if the subtitles are marked as forced on the subtitle track itself or are simply selected by the language selection from the disc menu. If the subtitle track contains the forced flag(s) you can configure MakeMKV to set the flag in the resulting mkv file. You have to use your own customize...

Doesn't you video editing program allow to import the mkv directly? In HandBrake make sure you have not "Hard Burn" activated for subtitles: https://handbrake.fr/docs/en/1.3.0/advanced/subtitles.html You can also use mkvtoolnix to remux the video and remove all subtitles before importing i...

You probably don't have to re-rip the movie. Subtitles can be turned off and on in the player (if they are not burned in / part of the video stream). A mkv file can contain multiple video (normally only one), audio and subtitle tracks. So you can have the original english audio track, a commentary t...

If you checked all subtitle tracks (and "forced only" subtracks) when you ripped the dics to mkv and no such subtitles are inluded in the resulting mkv they are not on the disc. If there are subtitles with both the Japanese part translated and the normal dialogues you could make them yours...

Did you check if a subtitle track is enabled? Some times there is a subtile track that goes alongside the commentary track, that does exactly what you described.

Depends on the videos/scenes you stitch together. It works really well for the extended Lord of the Ring films (disc 1 and 2). You could make a feature request on github for losslesscut. But I doubt that it will be considered since it is not what the program is intended for. Furthermore it would req...

Ah thanks, good to know.

Hi ! New here ! I'm curious to know if it would be possible to find a Libredrive BDR-XS07TUHD or a BDR-XS07T ? or maybe a 5,25" drive ? I read about Verbatim 43888 and I could buy one at Amazon but I didn't know if it can be still flashed to Libredrive as of march 2024. Are they ? Thank for an...

Can you open the DVD (not a single VIDEO_TS file) directly in VLC or MPC-HC? If yes make a simple DiscBackup with MakeMKV. Don't open the disc but click on the Backup button in the toolbar. You can then open the created folder in VLC/MPC-HC like you would open the DVD. If the disc backup doesn't wor...

Doesn't MakeMKV support de-crypted Disc Backups of HD-DVDs? The Backup button is greyed out if I insert an HD-DVD (tested with several discs). Since MakeMKV still has an issue with HD-DVD subtitles (https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1905) you need the de-crypted backup to extract them ...

You can think of an mkv file as a zip container for media files. Zipping and unzipping compresses the files but doesn't change them. If you extract them again they are back to their original state. The matroska container works in a similar way. mkvtoolnix doesn't re-encode any media file but puts th...

There is no "tricky" part in mkvtoolnix. Make sure all media files that you want to combine have the same number of tracks, the same track order and equivalent tracks have the same codec (you can check with mkvtoolnix-gui); if not you may have to remux them first to get rid of additional t...

What happens if you make a full disk backup? Are the damaged files ectracted as is, skipped or does the backup stop completly?
If they are backed up as is you can then extract them from the folder.
