Re: Handling DVD "Letterbox" widescreen?
The MKV format has settings to set a crop on the video track which can be changed with mkvtoolnix.

You made...

Re: Black frames on top and sides of 16:9 video
The black frames uses not much space in the file, because there is no action or difference between the frames. The codecs detects this and compress this to some few bytes. Anyway, DVDs are encoded in MPEG2 (like JPEG) whch produces a lot of artefacts surrounding objects. The other problem is that o...

Re: Handling DVD "Letterbox" widescreen?
After "playing" with the Independence Day DVD to get it to display correctly, I believe that I can manipulate the settings in the MKV file (through the toolbox) to display properly through the WDTV Live device, which I use. I will be testing The Abyss, which is available on DVD only in Le...

Is there ANY situation where having the 5.1 core can be useful?
So I've read about the 5.1 core being extracted from the 7.1 track by MakeMKV. It's sometimes said you can keep it to maximize compatibility. I'm just wondering if there are any real-world experiences where the 7.1 track can't be downsized by your equipment. After all, when playing the film on the b...

Review: Pioneer BDR-S13UEBK This is an excellent drive and worked fine right out of the box. Arrived in perfect shape and was the right item. Customer service was excellent, although the price was a little more than I hoped to pay, but these are quality drives and are not easy to come by. Hoping th...

Hey asmcom, Do you offer recommendations on which drive to get on the ones you offer? I'm writing here as I do not have the option to send a PM yet. I'm planning to rip a thousand movie collection. Only about 15 4K Blu-rays (not a lot but I want to rip them), over 500 DVDs and the rest are blu-rays....
