Re: Office Space Special Edition with Flair

Are you trying to rip from a disc? "AACS directory not present, assuming unencrypted disc" is an unusual thing to see in a log for a blu-ray. The source file '/BDMV/STREAM/00001.m2ts' is corrupt or invalid at offset 3172196352, attempting to work around ^ messages like that usually mean th...

I confirmed that the disc is not faulty by using AnyDVD to copy the entire contents to a hard drive.

At least I don't have to return it to Amazon.
You can use MakeMKV's backup option to create an encrypted backup before a decryption key is available to make sure the disc is readable.

Re: TV series on Blu-rays often don't have titles in episode order...

I've been looking for some older posts where Radiocomms237 and I both commented on the usefulness of making decrypted backups as a beginning step to creating .mkv files.

Here's that thread: Most effcient method to Rip new Makemkv files with subtitle and forced subtitles

Re: Beasts of the Southern Wild Fails

Is your drive flashed to be a LibreDrive? On the first screen of MakeMKV, right after it starts up, on the right is some drive info. You can post that here.

Re: Why do TV series DVD/BD add both 1080 and 480 and joined versions?

Ah, from the first run of Doctor Who. I don't have those particular discs, but I suspect they're like Star Trek: The Original Series, which has two copies of each episode, one with the original special FX and one with the updated special FX. In Doctor Who's case, I suspect it is the least worst 'ori...

Re: So now what? Purchased flashed Pioneer BD, Purchased MakeMKV, so how to convert and playback?

I have a lot of MikroTik gear in my network. I've found that most SFP+ -> RJ45 transceivers get pretty hot. The ports where I run fiber run a lot cooler (and draw less power). As such, it is become my preference where possible.

I really hope that necroposting is not against the rules here, I did read the FAQ and didn't see anything explicitly prohibiting it.

I should clarify, the BDs have both 480 and 1080 of the same episodes, why both?

Rob.
I've never noticed that on any of my Doctor Who discs. Which seasons are this way?

My copy of Jumanji (1995) ripped okay, so I don't think there's a software bug.

Re: Blu ray rip crimes of grindelwald missing language

Hello together, I tried to rip the grindelwald blu ray with German and English language. But when I open the disk I just see the English audio. It's the German disk therefore it should be there. Ran into the same problem some times now. On the Language tab in MakeMKV Preferences, do you have a pref...
