Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair UHD rip not progressing

[Tok72]

There is an issue when MakeMKV tries to interleave the BL and EL hevc streams for these "Lionsgate 2298 frame RPU" discs. With info from chalaheadchala's posts, I am using this work around for the time being:
1. Use MakeMKV to backup the disc Decrypted
2. Use ffmpeg, dovi_tool, and mkvmerge to create a MKV with DoVi information intact.

The issue might be related to this warning I get from ffprobe at the 1m31s mark:

Code: Select all

[in#0 @ 0x2a4e1f40] Invalid Block Addition value 0x0 for unknown Block Addition Mapping type 68766345, name "Dolby Vision enhancement-layer HEVC configuration"
[in#0 @ 0x2a4e1f40] Unsupported encoding type

MakeMKV could be getting tripped up by this during the BL and EL interleaving.

So are the steps detailed above avoiding the error that makeMKV encounters when doing a straight rip and keeping the DV Profile 7 intact?

Another title with a similar issue was Lionsgate's UHD of The Ninth Gate. I ended up remuxing to use DV Profile 8. When I did a straight rip of that title it would fail but I was able to do a backup and then rip it, but playing back the rip from that method caused my players' video output to go blank with in the first couple of minutes of the movie. I ended up remuxing that rip to use DV Profile 8, but I'm assuming I lost the FEL data.

I was able to successfully rip KBTWHBA with your method and I watched the first few minutes last night with no video dropping.

So what worked for me on disc 2 was making a decrypted backup using MakeMKV and then creating the MKV from that backup using MKVToolNIX (GUI v100 on a Mac). Trying to use MakeMKV on the backup copy just stalled at the exact same place as attempting to rip the disc directly.

I had the same issue with the recent Lionsgate "The Arrival". I did NOT have this issue with "The Ninth Gate" copy I have.

I also successfully appended the two MKV's using MKVToolNIX

That is correct. The steps avoid using MakeMKV's BL & EL interleaver and uses dovi_tool interleaver instead (keeping the DV Profile 7 intact). The resulting mkv is what MakeMKV ideally would have produced; minus adding extracted DTS core audio tracks or adding force subtitle tracks (if any detected by MakeMKV). This workaround should work for any of these troublesome Lionsgate 2298 RPU frame releases.
