Re: Play M2TS / play ripped movie VLC 32 bit

Where are the decoders? I tried one time without the MakeMKV option "Decrypt video files" and VLC could not play them. But if I rip with the option "Decrypt video files" enabled, then VLC can play them Above I enabled in MAKEMKV, the integration with VLC 32 bit. What step(s) are ...

Play M2TS / play ripped movie VLC 32 bit

(Please pin this one on top in forum, thank you) In case people do not know, playing the movies ripped is actually very easy in VLC. - Download only the VLC 32 bit, 64 bit won't work (I have not tried extensively to configure that) - After installing VLC 32 bit, re-start or open MakeMKV - In MakeMKV...

Re: Blu-ray rip convert into iso (imgburn)

ISO has it's benefits: - 1 file only - dvd / bluray menu intact - movie files sometimes cut into a billion pieces and you can hunt down the order of things DVD is by default ripped as iso, perfect. Bluray not. It just creates the folders and files. So I use IMGBurn to re-create MakeMKV output as iso...

Re: General questions about the purchase of keys

Thank you also, I also bought the license. My old laptop will be reformatted back to factory state, that means I can easily register my other copy, on my new laptop with just the key. That is nice and easy for us honest consumers. EaseUS for example, you have to contact the customer service every ti...

Blu-ray rip convert into iso (imgburn)

I did not read MakeMKV posts about this, but did you peeps know that you can convert the bluray ripped files right back into a iso file again? Pity MakeMKV does not do this automatically at ripping, as with DVD. Bluray always get saved a folders and files on the computer. But, Imgburn program conver...

Re: 50% success rate with older drive

See if you can get a drive mentioned in these forums. It does help to have a drive that uses Libremode. That means you have to flash it. Another way, slower, is to use a program that records screen and audio, those exist as well. I don't recommend that way. Before I used Makemkv I used such program....

Re: LG BU40N firmware 1.05

If the drive is not detected. Do not attach too many USB drives onto your computer. PnP (plug and play, aka plug or pray) might not work very well. Attach what is working, power down, attack 1 more, power up, see if it works. Some devices are not full PnP. - so plug 1 device at a time try if it work...

LG BU40N firmware 1.05

Drive production date was in 2024. Had to buy a normal sata male (22 pin) to Sata female (13 pin) converter for my standard Chinese USB 3.0 to SATA (22 pin) cable. As someone else mentioned somewhere on this forum. I had the "sam" uab-to-sata cable twice. Used 1 for my SSD for weeks. Then ...
