Re: Unencrypted Blu-Ray iso, why must makemkv fail?

Thanks for the confirmation that it can be done. I was getting consistent failures and updated to the latest version of makemkv (I am using the MAC OS version), and now it works. I have a few iso's that failed before and none of them fail anymore. Strange that I had these issues earlier, maybe I had...

Unencrypted Blu-Ray iso, why must makemkv fail?

Hi, I have either a question or a feature request. If I have a Blu-Ray ISO image, which has the protection removed (let's say by AnyDVD), why can I not use makemkv to produce a .mkv? It simply resolves to failure because the volume ID or something is unknown. It seems fine when tried with dvdfab. Co...

Pioneer BDR-206DBK Optical Drive - Anyone else use it?

This drive is frustrating me to no end. I've gone through several of my Blu-Ray movies to make back-ups. In 100% of my cases, the read speed gets pegged to exactly 9.0 MBps (2.0x), on the large files. This is a new drive and came with firmware version 1.06. This is the case with makemkv and several ...

New Pioneer BDR-206D Drive - SCSI Error

I just received and installed an internal SATA drive (Pioneer BDR-206D) in my 2010 Mac Pro Workstation, to try out with makemkv. This Pioneer drive is their current model, but the firmware version posted on Pioneer's website is version 1.05. I have also an older LG drive (WH10LS30) in the lower bay ...

Re: Complete failure with ASUS BW-12D1S-U

Very strange ... it's odd that anydvd in a vmware windows 7 could do the backup to completion on the same drive. Did you try MakeMKV in vmware as well? No, I did not try loading makemkv on the windows vm. I should have tried that. It's too late now, the drive has been returned. The one thing I did ...

Re: Playback with OPPO BDP-93 (Subtitles)

For anyone interested, I have learned a few things about mkv files and subtitles on the BDP-93. First of all, according to the forums and my experience, PGS subtitles are currently only supported in m2ts (mts) files. They will not play in mkv files. So it's the player that is lacking in this case. I...

Re: Complete failure with ASUS BW-12D1S-U

Thanks, your description is very informative! I think I'll just return this and purchase a different solution (I'd like to use my laptop). Hopefully this will help others who might get into my situation avoid this issue. P.S. When I removed the DASPI extension (by removing the system directory), I l...

Complete failure with ASUS BW-12D1S-U

Hi, I just unpacked and tried out my new external ASUS Blu-Ray writer. It has a USB 3.0 port which is supposed to be backward compatible to 2.0. I have tried on both a MAC Pro w/s and a MBP laptop. On a machine without the Daspi v1.3 extension a blu-ray rip works but runs very slow. With the Daspi v...

Minor Disc Errors

Hi, I have a blu-ray disc that has a very small scratch on it, and it causes my blu-ray movie player to skip a few seconds. It's barely noticeable in terms of playback. Using makemkv to rip the movie, I get the infamous error message relating to bad sectors. Makemkv eventually aborts. It's very good...

Playback with OPPO BDP-93 (Subtitles)

Hi folks, I have tried to get Blu-Ray subtitles to appear using makemkv on my BDP-93 player. Using the MAC version 1.6.15 of makemkv, the subtitles are always there (according to the player), and the menu allows me to choose the subtitles, but the actual subtitles never appear. This is the case with...
