Re: MakeMKV Not showing the correct Free Space

This happens a lot more than people realize... Apple hides the fact that "deleting a file" doesn't free up space, because the default behaviour is to simply make the file invisible until you REALLY tell MacOS to delete it. (and it isn't just MacOS... Windows can do it, too) We will have to...

Re: Now You See Me- Now You Don't

Is your page down? Getting 503 when going to it. Are you trying the (default for many browsers) HTTPS version of the page, or it's actual HTTP (no encryption) version? Some browsers will refuse to access it without encryption unless you're VERY insistent. Others will try the encrypted version first...

EDIT: As if 1.18.3 were a over 15-years-old release, Actually, as if the author decided to NOT change the message containing the current version constantly, so that one link worked since it was originally posted, dozens of versions ago... Mike has a tendency to do that; check the link dates for the...

Re: Leonard Bernstein: Reaching for the Note (American Masters)

My personal choice for DVDs has been a non-aerosol equivalent of Lemon Pledge, but most generics work as well. Others you dish soap in a solution. The main thing is that it cuts through fingerprints, and fills in scratches. For scratches, it sometimes does not have a permanent cleaning ability. Rip ...

Re: Leonard Bernstein: Reaching for the Note (American Masters)

Looks like the errors I'm seeing from several of my disks over the last few weeks... There is a spot that cannot currently be read, and MakeMKV is complaining about it. Best advise is to clean the disk carefully (soft cloth and a cleaner that doesn't attack plastic), and try again. Do not wipe it in...

Re: Can anyone help me?

It would be rare for them to subtitle the movie with Italian as one of the options, unless it was being sold to Italian-speaking people. It will be (generally) added to the common language track you're using, i.e., if you are watching with English subtitles, they'll add the Italian there, possibly m...

Re: Can anyone help me?

"Downloaded" typically refers to "finding a file online, and retrieving it." Taking the file off of a disk you own is typically called "ripping it". This is something that MakeMKV does. So, I'm guessing you mean ripping... Subtitles can be a pain to deal with. Many olde...

Re: Verbatim 43890 - Pioneer BDR-UD03

What I can't understand is that someone would "prove" they're "honest" by posting links to what they stole, and where they'd posted it.

If this behaviour continues, yu-yevon will be banned for piracy.

Re: Verbatim 43890 - Pioneer BDR-UD03

These guys post links on where to download them after you pay them!, I do it for free! So far, I've seen you link to a single file before you removed your links. I do know that there have been several different files necessary to upload different versions of the various drives you say you're provid...

Cannot help with downloaded versions - this forum is supporting a program that rips video you own on DVD and Bluray, not downloads.

Re: Changing title_001.mkv

I find that it's best to rename the files during the rip, but I typically am ripping disks with 5 or more titles to be saved, and multiple disks per series. MakeMKV tries to make sure you get different file names for each, but it will start each disk with names that end with "_t00.mkv" on ...

Re: Is it difficult to make the episodes separately instead of merged together?

MakeMKV won't help - it's got large files, and the software wasn't designed to split them, just rip them. MKVtoolnix can break them up according to their chapters. Also, if you process with handbrake, you can tell it which chapter range to include in the output file, which is my usual way of dealing...

Possibly, but... Part of the problem seems to be Cloudflare, and a big part seems to be that thousands of individual IPs sometimes seem to attack the forum. For example, currently, there are 3600 "guests" (unlogged in users) accessing the page. In terms of people, we're talking maybe 50 to...

This drive platform went obsolete when UHD became available. Cannot say why it claims to have been built in 2023.
