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...

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?

I hope not.

Still hoping for this as an option...

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.

SC

I never do. Either on the Windows 7 box, or on my OS X box.

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...

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

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).

SC

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.

SC

I would say it's exactly what Rodeo said it was. The pulldown. The FPS is correct in both cases. The source DVD is 29.97 and after the pulldown, it becomes 23.97. If Handbrake didn't follow the pulldown flag you would have the video out of sync with the audio fairly quickly.

SC

What bits?

While I can't speak for the MakeMKV development team, I strongly doubt that Apple will let something like MakeMKV into the App Store.

SC

That was a rhetorical question. Since Haali is not available for anything other then Windows, branching content can't currently be played on anything else. Of course you need a critical mass for developers to implement features. If they have to pioneer their own solution to issues then it takes long...
