Re: Using MakeMKV and then HandBrake for blu-ray rip

I use the High Profile setting and set the rate factor from 22 to 24, for HD content.

However, the issue you seem to be having is with Handbrake, and not MakeMKV. Therefore, I would recommend that you collect your encode logs, and post at the Handbrake forums.

Re: No PCM audio with ripped blu-ray mkv???

Contrary to what Criterion has advertised, some of their DTS-HD blurays are PCM. I have not had any problems with ripping these discs, or playing back the rips. However, it's been a while, and that was many versions of MakeMKV back, so something might have changed. Also, you made your initial post o...

Re: MakeMkv and region settings

If I'm reading your post right, I think you are a native of region 2. So, DVD Player asked you to change your region code when you entered a foreign region (region 1) DVD?

Re: I'd go ahead and buy MakeMKV if...

In the window where it has the file path, just edit the name of the file. SC Don't think that's possible....only directory selectable . I was told last year naming the output FILE was coming...BUT Whoops! My mistake there. I had not used MakeMKV for a bit as I was focusing on trying to Hackintosh t...

I believe you mean titles, not chapters.

Re: MakeMKV creating incorrect frame rate mkv.

Romansh, thanks for pointing that out! However, I'm stymied by that explanation. When I did an inquiry with Media Info on a VOB copied from a commercial DVD(Criterion reissue of Seven Samurai), Media Info reported the frame rate for the VOB as 29.97, and not 23.97. Inquiring several other VOBs retur...

Re: How to preserve the main menu when creating MKV files

To preserve the menus, you would need to create a backup/disc image of the disc.

Re: Output File Size

Handbrake and MakeMKV do two different things.

Handbrake transcodes the content, typically making the files smaller.

MakeMKV copies the content, and does not alter it (other than making the changes you select).

Re: MakeMKV creating incorrect frame rate mkv.

For frame x to frame y, I would say that accessing direct from the disc would be best.

However, if you are gonna transcode the whole thing, then go ahead and rip then transcode.
