My content never expires. Which is great, but can you afford to keep buying new content every time a new season or movie is released? I just bought 8 movies for $32 on eBay. That’s one streaming service for two months. I’ll have these forever and they include special features (something I do actual...

100!

I’m hoping he’s on vacation and having such a great time that he lost track of time.

I was referring to the product key. If it was just the beta key expiration, I wouldn’t be bothered about it. But given the problems with paid keys, it seems like a bigger deal. Like I said, I’m also trying to decide which media to buy. It’s not life-alteringly urgent obviously, but I have stuff in m...

I’ve had it with streaming and was about to purchase a bunch of discs so I don’t have to deal with it. The thing is that if MakeMKV isn’t available anymore, I need to buy DVD’s instead of blu-ray (and have wasted money on a few movies recently, but that’s a separate issue). Especially as a Mac user,...

Errors like this: Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM/00000.m2ts' at offset '19367522304' indicate that the drive is having trouble correctly reading spots on the disc. MakeMKV will retry reads until it either gets a correct read or the re...

I’m trying to convert a homemade DVD with no copy protection. I’ve converted a ton of them from the same creator, same machine, etc. On the first attempt to read the disc, Title 4 was skipped because it was declared to be a fake title. I understand that Structure Protection is only for commercial DV...

Disc cleaning seems to be the “reboot computer” of ripping, so it seems relevant. I’ve ripped or converted probably 100 DVDs in the last week: Almost all of The West Wing (to VIDEO_TS with https://mdrp.app ) plus a huge number of homemade DVDs (using MakeMKV first and MDRP if that failed). There hav...

I’m now having some problems with (at least one) of my West Wing DVDs. This is S5 Disc 2 from the complete season set, not the complete series set. I tried ripping it to VIDEO_TS with MDRP. It stalled out. I tried playing Title 1 (the “all episodes” title) in VLC. It crashed the app. I cleaned the d...

I failed to reply to thank you for all your help. Thank you!!

I don’t think I have any 4K UHD at this point, so I’m okay with that limitation. Later you can open the backup in MakeMKV and create individual .mkv files. Other than playlist obfuscation, where are you getting stuck? For some reason, I feel like I’m missing a step in the middle that makes this diff...

I know that some or all of what I’m going to ask is probably elsewhere. I tried searching, but every answer I found led to a question or a problem or stuff I had to install or it turns out I may have just opened my computer to Java attacks or Knives Out was *exactly* the wrong disc to start with... ...
