PoTC: World's End Dolby Vision

I'm trying to figure out if this is a bad rip, or if I still need a settings change to use Dolby Vision. So far no matter what I've tried, I can't get this file to display the proper color space. It's watchable if I adjust the hue all the way into the green side on my TV, but I'm trying to make it &...

Feature Request: scalable UI for large resolution monitors

I've seen this mention about OS X Retina, but not about the Windows version. My laptop has a screen resolution of 3840x2160. At that resolution, MakeMKV icons are much smaller than on a lower resolution display. The display scaling is at the Windows recommended 250%, but the MakeMKV icons don't scal...

Re: Episode order on disc

Another variation on the "watch a few minutes" theme is to open the disc in VLC and select the episode from the DVD menu. then select Playback, Title and see which title corresponds to the particular episode. You can then switch over to MakeMKV and enter the correct filename in the file dr...

Re: I only get normal read speeds in MakeMKV by running AnyD

I'll add a "me, too" here requesting support to disable silent mode. I just purchased an LG external DVD with Silent Play, which slows down DVD reads to 2-3x. I'd rather have noise and fast reading. Apparently this used to be disabled through explorer by right-clicking the DVD, selecting h...

Re: MKV files frequently end early

I haven't had a chance to look at this until today. The most recent file with a problem is reporting something different in VLC: mkv warning: Dummy element found 7465922547... skipping it mkv error: Dummy Element at unexpected position... corrupted file? mkv error: Dummy element too large or misplac...

That's a good idea, thanks. I'll do that and see what turns up.

Re: MKV files frequently end early

No, the RAID is formatted ext4 so AFAIK 4GB files aren't the problem. The files are anywhere from 900MB to 25+ GB. I'm pretty sure the problem lies with my Thecus NAS and its inability to preserve data. The fact that a title will work once and fail later indicates the data is becoming corrupt someho...

Re: MKV files frequently end early

Is there any way to troubleshoot this besides buying a new NAS and seeing if it works better? Any point in comparing the good and bad versions of a file to see where it went bad? I'm glad to hear it works perfectly for you. The amount of errors is making the wife approval factor decline for me.

MKV files frequently end early

As the title says, my MKVs seems to be susceptible to minor corruption that causes an early EOF as reported by VLC, causing the movie to end early in XBMC. The only way to get past these parts is to skip past them or re-mux the movie. I think I know where the answer lies, but just in case I'm asking...

Brother Bear LIBMKV_TRACE: Exception: Error while reading...

I'm trying to rip the main title plus English and Spanish audio tracks. The disc plays fine in VLC and I was able to make an ISO containing the tracks I wanted with DVD Shrink. However, Whether from the original disc or the DVD Shrink ISO, the copy fails. Below is the log from several copy attempts....

[REQ]Auto disc lookup

After years of ripping DVDs I just discovered that some commercial DVDs can be automatically identified when inserted. I've been using YAMMM the past few days and it has more than 50% success in identifying DVDs automatically. The way I've got it setup, it creates a folder in my MKV rip directory, a...

Re: Feature Request "Output Filename"

Long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for adding in this feature. Would you please consider not altering the file name input by the user to replace spaces with underscores? It's great that I can input a file name, but I still have to go back and rename the file manually because I prefer not to...
