Re: Beta key not working - v1.18.3 Linux

Did you restart MakeMKV after installing the key? Does the user you were logged in as have rights to overwrite the file the key is stored in?

Re: zootopia 2 bluray wrong language after ripping

If it displays in a different language, it is possible that the wrong one is set as default. If you open the MKV file with, say, handbrake or MKVtoolnix, what does it display as the default language?

(this assumes that you ripped both languages originally)

Re: MakeMKV FAQ inaccessible

It's actually a FAQ as to why the FAQ isn't accessible on this site... one which the owner hasn't addressed in several years.

Re: Feature Request - Clear all check boxes at once

Have you tried <right-click> and select "unselect ALL" yet? It's relatively new... only been there for a dozen years or so... :)

Re: How to Purchase MakeMKV

The difference between "beta" and "full" versions is whether or not you have a key that doesn't expire every 60 days. The link show above takes you to purchasing a key, that will make whatever version you have installed work without the clock complaining... :) The link itself is ...

Re: maximum lenghts ?

Not within MakeMKV. It's been one of the suggestions for improvement going back a dozen years or so, but the author hasn't expressed any opinion one way or another. There have been some Blurays where they put entire series (50+ half-hour episodes) in one long file, and you have to use separate progr...

Re: MakeMKV rips all episodes as a single large file

And what you receive can vary with the disk set; the series Bleach has several sets, which have different configurations. Some have all episodes as individual files. Some have each disk (5-7 episodes) as one file. Some disks were authored both ways. At least the Ranma 1/2 disks were all authored the...

Re: Aide pour les HD-DVD

A quick search with Google shows no new HD-DVD drives available to purchase, so you are limited to "old stock" if you can find it. The disks are not readable by DVD or Bluray drives, so, without an HD-DVD drive, you cannot read the disks.

Re: Bourne: The Ultimate Collection (UHD)

It may be brand new, but did you clean it? The longer a disk sits in its packaging, the more often it needs to have the chemicals of manufacturing cleaned off of it. Any disk issued more than a few months prior to your purchase will accumulate a chemical haze, some bad enough to need washing to be r...

Re: Which UHD movie would you rip first?

First disk in the pile. Move on to the next. Unless you're watching them AS you rip them, getting them on your system as quickly as possible seems to be the best way.

Re: Options for failed discs?

The problem is that you have to get the disks to "readable". MakeMKV isn't gong to tolerate failed reads, but playing software (generally) does. If BOTH are failing, the disks need to have their surfaces cleaned and scratches removed.

Re: Forced subtitles track #7 turned out to be empty and was removed from output file

MakeMKV assumes that tracks have forced subtitles flagged separately from normal subtitles, so, for every subtitle track found, they create 2... An "Everything" track, and a "Forced only" track. If the "forced only" track turns out to have no subtitles (none were flagge...

Re: Cannot send private message

Yes, PMs stay in your outbox until read. It's a feature of the board, allowing the sender to delete anything that was never read, as well as letting the sender know when it IS read.

Re: FAQ Page Down

Been down for several years. The program's author is, apparently, aware of it, but he hasn't done anything to fix it. We get a new post telling us about it every couple of months, because "FAQ" is too short for anyone to search for it.

Sorry.
