Re: Combining Discs

MKVToolNix worked fine for me. I did get an error playing back the combined MKV file on the Zidoo when it got to the part for that would normally require a switch to the second disc. Upon further investigation, I needed to use MKVToolNix to edit the chapter numbers as it was going back to chapter 1 ...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

For those of us that have paid for MakeMKV and have full licenses, if "Mike" doesn't show back up and is unable to create volume keys for newly released Blu-ray or UHD titles, how do we point MakeMKV to new title volume keys?

How does one create new volume keys for newly released titles?

Re: Beta Key not updated and PayPro down

Are new "hashed keys" still being added to MakeMKV's internal database? This is a great question. Is Mike the only person that can make additions to the database? If Mike doesn't do it, does that mean none of the new discs with rip? I wonder if anyone else could be provided with the tool ...

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure how to do that. I loaded the KeyDB_Helper.exe downloaded from the link above, but it didn't recognize the disc ID for disc 1. How do I use KeyDB?

Rip Dolby ATMOS Track without the Video?

Hi, I've ripped several 3D BDs to MKV, but many 3D titles don't include the ATMOS track. They usually ship with a 2D BD or UHD BD that does contain a Dolby ATMOS track. So, I'm ripping the video and Dolby ATMOS track from the 2D or UHD BD and remuxing it with the 3D MKV using mkvtoolnix. However, it...

Re: LG WH16NS40 16X Blu-ray Drive Read Speeds

As the disk area being read gets towards the outer part of the disk, the speed will increase. "16x" only refers to the MAXIMUM speed you will see, not TYPICAL. There is a maximum RPM the drive will go; there is more data available to read, per rotation, as you move further away from the c...

LG WH16NS40 16X Blu-ray Drive Read Speeds

What's up?!

I'm using an LG WH16NS40 16X Blu-ray in an external case via USB 3.0. When using MKV for ripping BDs, (not UHD BDs or DVDs), MakeMKV shows that it's reading at around 6.6x at the most.

Any reason why this would be? Should I really expect to be getting near 16x speeds like it claims?

Re: James Bond - Casino Royale, Spectre, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall

Thanks. Do you know where you got that copy? I know there are usually multiple keys as there are different discs out there. Got mine from amazon, Feb 2020 version. Probably Best Buy, as part of the Daniel Craig 4 movie box set. Looks like I bought it in the fall of 2019, when it first came out. Sor...
