Instead or in addition to the read rate, can there also be a write rate?

When a new file is made can it be kept like this: The Matrix (1999) and not like this: The_Matrix_(1999)_t00?

What???

Wouldn't the write rate be equal to the read rate, in the grand scheme of things? After all, if the program can't write its buffer to disk, the read rate will drop to match the write rate as soon as the buffer fills...

As for using underscores instead of spaces... That's been a perennial request, at least to make it a preference. The track number is appended by default because setting an overall volume name can set all files to the same meta name, which influences the default file name, so something has to keep them from overwriting each other.

Have you enabled Expert mode to allow full editing of file names?

Read rate includes ALL the audio and subtitle tracks, including the ones you don't want plus the M2TS over-head. Write rate would encompass only those tracks you've chosen to keep and the MKV overhead, however, I do think the suggestion is superfluous.

I'd like 'file name' to equal 'name', if you edit a track name directly. But I understand the complexities of juggling that kind of naming option. Until then, I have a batch file that reformats the text.

Read rate will not be equal to write. If the source is a SSD and the destination is a server read/writes would be different.

Are you talking about the read rate of the drive or the working read rate? Without an endless amount of cache MakeMKV can only work at the speed of the slowest IO device.

Is this a serious question??????

The actual read rate of the source!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And write rate to the destination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not rocket science.

Its not rocket science.

That's true, if your source is an SSD and your destination is a server, MakeMKV will read from the SSD until the cache is full and after that it will have to slow down what it's reading from the SSD because the server wouldn't be able to keep up, hence, read/write speed will be entirely dependant on the speed of the Server and which tracks you've decided to keep. After reading everything I've posted on this thread so far, have I missed anything?
