Re: Program reads data faster than it can write to disk

Disk writing speed is most important here. If you can read disks quickly, you have to be able to store what's read just as quickly... and a lot of times, your disk write speed isn't as fast as you're thinking it is. I typically would write to an 8-drive array, feeding it with 2 or 3 disks. When I wo...

Re: License lookup

To get your key from Mike, you'll have to send a message to support@makemkv.com with the email address you used when you originally paid... He can find it that way. If you have a copy running with your key already, you can copy/paste it into your new computer (assuming that's why you want it), as th...

Re: Unreadable DVDs?

You mention that they're DVDs... I've had (long ago!) some disks that were DVD/CD combos, where the outer portion was a CD, the inner portion a DVD. These wouldn't happen to be versions of these, would they? Can't say that I ever tried ripping them for video; they could be played/ripped as CDs, thou...

Re: Star Wars 4Ks

When I last ripped Star Wars disks, I selected "all subtitles" to rip, because they weren't flagged correctly on my disks. I then would play the tracks, and select subtitle tracks to find the ones I wanted. Generally, I select "forced" and "everything" in English, but t...

Re: Star Wars 4Ks

Actually, alien languages are not always translated in Star Wars (or Star Trek, but that's a separate issue). Many times, it is only the mood of the speech that is important. If the meaning IS important, it will be displayed whether you have general subtitles turned on or not (it's a "forced su...

Re: "City on Fire" Arrow 4K UHD Dump Submitted

To be honest, if you do not understand how to "use this file" (which was not uploaded here), you're not the target of the file. The file in question is for those who can generate keys for disks, which would then be provided to users who are trying to rip said disks. If you're in the latter...

Re: BD-RE long recordings fail to export in MakeMKV: Possible 32-bit limitation

What are you using for the export? MakeMKV does a copy of the contents of the disk, so it should be what is being read. Minus any encryption, of course, but that's not something that would depend on 32- or 64-bit integers.

Re: Frankenstein's Bloody Terror Blu-ray rip issue

Question... Are you "Backing up" or "ripping files"? Backup rips the entire disk to a directory. It looks like you're trying to rip individual files, and you'll have to make sure you've enabled the rip of the 3D add-on by looking at the left-hand menu, and expand titles to see wh...

Re: Can you rename a movie file

Yes, when you're loading the file, you can click on the title you want to rip, and select the name to edit. This assumes you've turned on "Expert mode" in your configuration, and know that the name becomes a pull-down which lets you edit a lot more stuff. You can leave the Title the same, ...

Re: The Conjuring last rites

You need to email the TGZ file to svq@makemkv.com for Mike to see it and process it. If you want to contribute to the keydb database as well, you can upload the file to, say, google, and post a link to the result (make sure it's public!) here as well. There is a 4.0MB limit on forum uploads, which i...

Re: F1, 28 Years Later, Jurassic World Rebirth

So, the tgz file...what do you do with it? If you know how to extract a key from it, you can do that. Otherwise, like me, you ignore it and let those who CAN generate keys do so. Typically, there are only 3 or 4 people who will download the TGZ file and work to update the master key files at keydb...

Re: Asus BW-16D1X-U

At a guess, I'd say the reason things are being sent via private messages has to do with the fact that "the fix" varies with the drive... and sending the WRONG "fix" to someone could brick their drive.

Re: Enabling LibreDrive Asus BW-16D1X-U

Your pictures cannot be displayed - the links aren't images, they are pages that will display images after loading.

The drive you're trying to get to work is a BH50N, if anyone wishes to help him with it.

Re: MKV Framerate

Most Bluray disks are at movie frame rates (23.976+/- a fraction). DVDs often are at 25-30 fps, depending on whether they're US or not.

If you NEED the faster frame rate, you would generally have to recode the video. MakeMKV simply copies what the original is.
