Files unreadable.

Hello. When i use my desktop to make bdmv files it works perfectly with my uhd blu-ray players and media players but when i make the files with my laptop, i have only a black screen. Is there some settings that could resolve that?

Explain your process and what player you are trying to play files with.

Hi Marty. I have a Oppo player udp203 with jailbreak firmware, a Magnetar udp 800 and a Zidoo player that usually have no problem reading these files. It's only when i make the files on my laptop that it does'nt work. Are there some setting that i did'nt do on my pc. right now i have no clue. Thanks for answering

Explain your process and what are the differences (specs, OS etc) between the PC and laptop?

My pc is under Windows 10 home and the laptop is under windows 11 pro. Ihave an older laptop under Windows 7 that has the same issue. The players open the files but then i have a black screen. I have 2 drives with libre drive so this should'nt be where the issue is.

You still haven't explained your ripping/encoding process. I doubt the OS would have anything to do with the issue, nor the drives themselves.

Could you please explain what you mean by encoding and ripping? My main language is french and sometimes it's hard to understand. I use Makemkv to make bdmv files with full movies with menus. I also make mkv files but mostly bdmv files. Thank you

Well, MakeMKV is a ripper. It rips to either a disc to folder backup or to a MKV file. Some people also re-encode once ripped, usually to reduce the file size but sometimes to change video or audio codecs for compatibility reasons. For example, if a person's viewing equipment (TV, AV receiver, BD player etc) doesn't support DTS-HDMA, the person may re-encode the audio to DTS or AC3.


What do you do exactly, step by step from when you insert the disc to when you try to play it on a standalone player?
