Any PC optical drive can scratch a disc if the drive is slightly off balance or the disc is slighlty warped. It is not recommended to play a disc. Better off ripping it so you are only reading the disc once and you can watch the MKV file as much as you like. Yes, no doubt agent4797 and I are far fr...

Any PC optical drive can scratch a disc if the drive is slightly off balance or the disc is slighlty warped. It is not recommended to play a disc.

After downloading the trial version of JRiver I used it to play a favorite DVD in my collection. When done and I clicked eject I noticed two somewhat deep scratches on the disc surface. The disc still plays okay, but I do NOT want a repeat of this! But are scratched optical media by my LG WH16NS60 a...

I was wondering why LG drives were so hard to find now even though Pioneer is the one who left the market. (As far as I know I haven't seen announcements that LG has left the PC burner market; I have seen announcements that they left the home theater BD player market.) Regardless, if there's demand...

I was thrilled when I found that makeMKV could enable VLC to play BD movies. That player has excellent and easily accessible slow motion control, though its zoom control, which I find invaluable for managing aspect ratio content issues, is unbearably clunky. I didn’t install JRiver player, but I rea...

I appreciated that DVD & BD ripping is largely what makes makemkv relevant, though I purchased the app out thanks last year when someone at avforum.com explained how to use it to allow BD movie playback on VLC and JRiver players. But the idea of paying someone or diying a massive server to store...

The app allows you access the rest with the usual downside of not having the ability to watch DRM protected movies (Not its fault since I don't think there are any apps on Android that can bypass DRM discs other than the 2nd method). I successfully copied files from DVD-R, VCD and BD-R, but I have ...

Because support ended long ago for my lovely Pioneer LX500 BD player I bought a second one to share DVD/BD movie playing, thereby extending their lives. But to further do so I also want to start using an external BD drive to send the audio and video via my pc video card's HDMI to my TV and have DVD/...

Direct UHD disc playback is not recommended for any drive as you will wear out your drive a lot faster. Because support ended long ago for my lovely Pioneer LX500 BD player I bought a second one to share DVD/BD movie playing, thereby extending their lives. But to do so further, can I USB connect an...

Hi forum, I'm new to the topic and hoping for a quick reply, thanks. I don't have a 4K BlueRay disc and would like to buy the BDR-X13EBK. Can Makemkv read normal BlueRay discs from this device? Yes, using MakeMKV it can read DVD and BD, jut not UHD (unless it happens to have older firmware that is ...

MPV has a decent slow motion/high speed capability that I use with some regularity. The documentation suggests there's a video zoom, but I've never tried it.

Another turkey player that can't support DVD menus? Humanity is indeed getting dumber.

I'm guessing you want the image zoomed within a full screen window, but it doesn't seem to do that. Yes, that's what I want, just like when I use my Oppo 203's or Pioneer LX500's zoom functionality to magnify up to twice the original image size-AND also using the four remote buttons to center any p...

As I discussed here https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=551275&sid=3c0cb5bb65518378309215d2f69886ce#p551275 , while fast/slow motion are effortlessly accessible via the [ and ] keys, using the Z key only displays that zoom mode is being accessed. But I can't zoom in or out, to any degree ...

... I will find most of them here. ... only standalone players like the Oppo, Marantz, Pioneer, et al ... Makemkv can't as far as I know. As far as bulk ripping, I seriously doubt anyone has a large enough SACD collection to warrant a loader application since availability is very low. I've ripped a...
