Thanks, Cooper. I think it’s all about finding a good tradeoff. Unless you’re dealing with recent formats like UHD, it might be a solid choice to rip with MakeMKV and then compress with HandBrake. Using 10-bit H.265 with a Constant Quality RF of 22 delivers near-original quality with substantial siz...

OMG! VirtualDUB!
It was my preferred player since it would quickly skip back and forward on the video track, not to mention the smoothless frame by frame playback.
Good memories!

Back to my question, I strongly suspect that many people out there are simply upscaling stuff just to gain credit.

This community discusses about making mkvs, but how do you know if an existing mkv has been upscaled somehow or if it is the native ripped format?
Is there a way to tell?

Did my first BR copy, worked perfectly! Thanks!

Hello, attempting to rip using Handbrake, using MakeMKV as a proxy . When attempting to change the setting, I get an error stating MakeMKV cannot change system preferences.. https://i.ibb.co/61kZLxw/Screenshot-2024-12-15-at-14-26-56.png MacOS Sequoia 15.11 (ARM) Any hint?

What's your country of residence? Last sentence in the first OP post !! This works out of the box without flashing for UHD. https://www.amazon.it/Verbatim-43888-Blu-ray/dp/B07MTP9VKX/ref=sr_1_2_mod_primary_new?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fUnjU849aE7KnMQbj4_eHGtVUgtHygM9M6ysPLET4tO6epbupZC1REGSvMqHMOVyVG1mQO-9...

Well, I've bought the unit! How can I test, once delivered, if it works without flashing?

Only if it's not the LG BU40N version!! If so, it will require flashing.

I can I know this before buying?

Thanks. Assuming i would be interested to move copies of my DVDs and BRs to my NAS using Makemkv (no burning required), what portable USB-C reader could I buy ti rip DVD, BR &UHD for the future?

Hello , I am looking for an external unit reader which should be compatible with MakeMKV and any DVD, BR and UHD format, which sports both HDMI out and USB-C.
This would be a perfect unit also to play discs when attached to a TV. I don't need a burner. Impossible? I leave in Italy
