You can fix the aspect ratio metadata after ripping; I had to do that for some standard definition bonus features from the 2012 Indiana Jones Blu-ray. For 4:3 videos, just changing the display width to 640 in mkvtoolnix should work correctly. For 16:9 videos, the math isn't quite perfect if you do t...

I'd keep full disc backups of all my discs if I could, but I "only" have 4 TB. I keep unprocessed MKVs of a few works that I think meaningfully suffer from being decompressed (mainly anime; I can get live action stuff looking great down to 8-10% the size, but 2D animated stuff suffers even...

Thanks for all the answers and suggestions @SirYodaJedi Manual you can set ONE default language, but not TWO As a non native english speaker I surely like to get my own language, but often you only get best Audiotrack, if you chose English Thats why I would like to set 2 default languages See https...

+1 for a naming rule (also bump). Like Cipher, I always name tracks based upon what codec they use because VLC doesn't show this info; it's annoying to have to change from the generic "Surround 7.1"/"Stereo"/etc to "Dolby TrueHD Atmos"/"DTS-HD MA 5.1"/"Do...

when will i use a different profile than default AAC, FLAC (i saw it converts in this case the audio) WDTV AAC and FLAC profiles compress the audio, and can slow things down if copying directly from disc. I also personally wouldn't recommend them for non-stereo sources, due to various reasons. WDTV...

M, yeah, in that situation it'd make sense to extract the core while doing initial backup. I watch local offline files, so I just do a quick remux if I need to toss the lossless extension (it's fast on an internal SSD).

But do you know if you can create an ISO file through MakeMKV.

Disc backups of DVDs will create an ISO. For BD and UHD (and maybe HDDVD?), you'll need to put the generated folders from the disc backup into an ISO with another tool, such as AnyBurn.

IME (last checked a few months before OP), it doesn't actually convert them; it just writes the wrong metadata because it doesn't recognize DTS-ES Discrete. From my testing, if you use MKVExtract to extract the DTS stream from the MKV, then MKVToolNix-GUI to re-insert the extracted stream, the track...

Example: The 7.1 stream is DTS:X and the playback device supports only Dolby or supports plain DTS but not DTS:X. Having a fallback can be helpful in those situations. Due to how DTS-HD and DTS-X are encoded, you don't need to rip the core separately; the audio stream includes the core, and any pla...

Bit overkill, innit? It's pretty fast to just set the clock to July 2025, then revert to auto-time afterwards, even if you don't use a script like some people are. You don't have to re-enter the key as long as you don't accidentally open the application before time leaping. (FWIW, I leave the PC in ...

Bump. This is still occurring, and is a bit annoying, since it defaults to ENG instead of UND. It'd be nice if there were a UI option to change what it defaults to, since I like to change it to JPN for anime series (which I end up doing one episode at a time).

I've noticed this with the DTS cores from the DTS-HD MA tracks on the 2011 BD releases of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, the DTS core from the DTS-HD HR track on the 2007 BD release of Stargate, and the DTS-ES tracks from the 2005 DVD special edition of Ghost in the Shell (or rather, the 2017 rere...
