Re: Ripping subtitles to srt file

You need an extractor, on Linux I use Mkv-extractor-qt5, or gMKVExtractGui, mkvextract gui from the MKVToolNix suite. With this you extract the subs, then you have to save them in subrip. I use SubTitle Edit for this, but you also need OCR software, again on Linux I use tesseract.

Re: New Feature Request

On Linux I created a shortcut that uses the eject command to open/close the burner door. I wish I know how to use that code, but I don't. They are commands that you write in a terminal, or have them executed in a script. But you have to use Linux: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/eject.1.html

Dears,

I have a question of understanding:

Why is there a significant difference of file size between a „MakeMKV“ Bluray rip and a converted from Handbrake?
Simply because MakeMKV doesn't convert, unlike HandBrake.

Re: MakeMKV just won't work.

You could try to do it this way (untested, is just an idea), but only if you have purchased a license. Make a virtual machine with Virtualbox, install Ubuntu 24.04, then install an old version of MakeMKV from sources, download it here: https://makemkv.com/download/old/ Start MakeMKV of the VM and en...

Re: MakeMKV just won't work.

Hi.

I had the same problem on EndeavourOS, and I solved it thanks to the previous version I have on Ubuntu in dual boot. I don't know if it can be the same for you too. Read here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35703

Re: Report of BluRay-Disc Recovery

Hi. I understand you perfectly. This summer I bought my first bluray burner to back up all my bluray movies and TV series. This is because in my collection (1200 titles, 1000 DVDs 200 BDs) about 20% of Blurays are ruined and no longer readable, neither by the LG living room player nor by MakeMKV. I'...

@dcoke22

Thanks, I didn't know that. I think even though it hasn't been tested, it should work for others who have this problem.

Re: MakeMKV does not proceed beyond downloading SDF

I also had this problem recently when I installed EndeavourOS in dual boot with Ubuntu 20.04.6. On Ubuntu I have v1.17.7 which works perfectly. On EndeavourOS I installed v1.17.8 from AUR. I solved it by reading this thread, in fact it was enough to copy the private_data.tar file that I had in the o...

Re: Unsure which method to store/play ripped DVD's and Blu-rays

I'm not sure because I've never used it, but it seems to me that MakeMKV can rip DVDs by creating the ISO. But wait for more authoritative answers than me. On Linux (Ubuntu distro) as mentioned I used special programs, I think they also exist on MacOS. First of all I installed libdvdcss, then dvdbac...

Re: Unsure which method to store/play ripped DVD's and Blu-rays

Hi. I don't know which one is best for you, but I can tell you how I did it. I have a DVD/BD collection of more than 1000 titles, but Blurays only account for 10-20%. I backed up the DVDs that I care about most, while for the Blurays I backed up all the ones I have, this is because I realized that t...

[FEATURE REQUEST] Being able to save chapters of a movie

I don't know if it's already been asked, but I would like MakeMKV to give the possibility to copy the chapters of a movie that one wants, above all to exclude at least the final ones. Let me explain: yesterday I was copying The Island, a 2005 movie. Well, when I got a few seconds from the end MakeMK...

Self/Less (ITA 2015) correct playlist

The bluray in question has 260 fake playlists. Yesterday after a couple of attempts I managed to discover the correct playlist. Here is the information: Source file name: 00865.mpls Duration: 1:56:51 Chapters count: 12 Size: 33.1 GB Segment count: 15 Segment map: 101,111,110,108,112,113,114,107,115,...

Hi everyone. I have a problem with many mpls with the Bluray in question, there are 31! I made the decrypted backup on the SSD and I would like to know if there is a way to find out which one is the right one.
