Which MKV difference likely explains WDTV playback trouble?

From a single Blu-Ray ISO source (Maleficent 3D), I produced two MKV files, one with MakeMKV (default settings), and one with VSO BluRay Converter. I used the VSO remux profile, which to my understanding, should bypass any transcoding, and thus cause it to function in a manner similar to that of Mak...

Re: Subtitles not working for Blu-Ray

Thanks for your advice. Having owned two players now (first a Roku, and now the WD TV Live Plus), I will have a much better idea of what features to look for; regarding your caution, I'm not sure how well equipped I am to discern the hype from the truth. I've been using makemkv to rip all of my DVDs...

Re: Can MakeMKV save only selected chapter(s) to the MKV out

My thanks to everyone for your helpful suggestions.

I have been able to create a smallish excerpt from the original MKV title, and I plan to use it to demonstrate my media player's inability to handle PGS subtitles, perhaps leading to a firmware fix.

Blue Screen with latest 1.6.6 version

The crash occurred during the analyze / decrypt phase. The BD being ripped is Secretariat, the system is Win XP SP-3. I had processed the same disk without trouble earlier today using version 1.6.5. When I saw the notice that a new version was available, I installed it, and discovered the problem wh...

Can MakeMKV save only selected chapter(s) to the MKV output?

MakeMKV is working well to save selected TITLE(s) to the MKV output, but I need to send a sample MKV file to someone for analysis, and the whole title is too large to send electronically. Is it possible to instruct MakeMKV to save only a portion of the title (with selected video, audio, and subtitle...

Re: Subtitles not working for Blu-Ray

My thanks to both of you (SumariHL & Romansh) for bringing this to my attention! I have little experience with multimedia formats and structures, and have only recently embarked on a project to rip all my movies and music to a NAS server for easy playback without fussing with disks. I have encou...

Thank you for your confidence that because there is much discussion about this topic, then the answer must be there somewhere. However, I was not being lazy before posting my question. I had searched for details pertaining to subtitles before my post, and have searched again after your suggestion (u...

Subtitles not working for Blu-Ray

I am working with a trial copy of MakeMKV, and I appreciate much about it, the simplicity of its GUI, the fact that it supports both DVD and Blu-Ray, and the fact that it can create a single .mkv file; those are all important features to me. I am in the process of ripping all my movies to MKV, and s...
