Re: Best programs for editing subtitles?

I came across software called Subtitle Edit. I've used it to compare subtitle tracks when there are multiples. Don't know if it will do what you need but it is free, open source.

Multiple Audio Tracks

Is there any benefit to getting all relevant audio tracks? For instance one of my first rips has Dolby 7.1, 5.1 and stereo. VLC seems to handle them all fine with only the 2 speakers at my computer. I assume most any halfway decent modern software will do the same. I think the Dolby 7.1 stream sound...

Re: BD Drive for non UHD Ripping

I ordered a Pioneer BDR-212V, which looks like it should work for the movies I own and can be flashed to enable libredrive functionality, if I need it. One thing that wasn't answered is what exactly does it mean if the drive becomes revoked? It will no longer read data? Can it be restored by reflash...

Re: BD Drive for non UHD Ripping

If I understand this correctly, the only way to know for certain if a disk uses MKBv82 is to insert it into the drive so I can examine its AACS/MKB_RO.inf file.... which, if it does use MKBv82, is going to revoke the AACSv1 host certificate for the drive, and disks can no longer be decrypted?

Re: BD Drive for non UHD Ripping

Pioneer drives are still preferable, if you can get one. You can rip/play BDs without needing LibreDrive only so long as you have both an unrevoked device key and host certificate for AACSv1. But bear in mind that inserting a disk that uses MKBv82 will also revoke every publicly-known AACSv1 host c...

BD Drive for non UHD Ripping

I need to get a blu-ray drive. All the hoopla seems to be about UHD. If I will be ripping a handful of Full HD (1080p) Blu-ray in addition to a couple hundred DVDs, does the drive used matter?
