Hey everyone,
Great forum and fantastic little program. I'm having one issue. MAKEMKV sees my bluorays fine.. i can select which video track / chapter to rip and even the audio. rips just fine with no errors. I can open the MKV files with VLC player and view them with perfect quality (can't stably play them without it jittering though) but.. odd thing.. when i view them in QUICKTIME or anything else (mpeg stream) it looks as though the encoding was not removed (ie: every second there is digital noise, heavy or greyed out white screens) but NOT in VLC. I use MKVTools to re-contain it to an M4V file (for my PS3 or whatever).. but when it's complete.. it views with what looks like no-protection removed.. ie: white screen flashes, grey and blocky noise)..
Does MakeMKV (version 1.4.12) not remove encoding? Am i not using it properly? When i rip the blu-ray, do i need to direct MKV to some certificate folder on teh blu-ray disc or something?
HULP! sorry, i'm sure this is a simple fix for users here.
Email me directly or please reply.. thanks so much

What's the specs of your Mac? Probably anything less than 2.0Ghz Duo Core you'll have issues with stuttering although audio will play smoothly. If you rencode it to h264 with handbrake then perhaps you can play it fine with a slower Mac than that even. Can you stream it in VLC directly from the bluray disk without stuttering?

this is the top of the line MAC.. newest MACPRO OctCore - 12gigs of RAM and 1gig Nvida graphics card.. the issue is not trying to play it in VLC.. it's transcoding for something that i can use (ie: blu-ray, mp4, etc) when i do that it comes out like this.. as if the protection was never removed from the file..
i'm assuming MAKEMKV removes the copy protection as well? Do i need to point MAKEMKV to some kind of certificate file? etc? Something i'm not doing by simply loading in the disc and hitting GO!

I can not open any mkv in quicktime on my mac it won't let me. Also only viewed them in VLC. Once tried Perian but that is a joke as it tries to load the entire mkv if on my network before playing it (fail).
Once you rip it to .mkv to your hd with makemkv the copy protection is removed. If it plays fine with VLC then which is should then it's your transcoding / encoding that your using or most likely decoding. Use handbrake and just encode one chapter to test it out.

Alright, so handbrake worked and made a file that didn't have that noise. Odd. Ok.. so more advice.. this creates a nice quality MP4 file (or m4v)... any ideas as to how to get the MKV file back into a format i can simply burn to a BLU-=RAY disc and play on a PS3?

Use tsMuxER , a free and a very good quality app. It can create AVCHD fileset from MKV, PS3 plays these from any USB harddrive with no need to burn a disc.bonovox11 wrote:Alright, so handbrake worked and made a file that didn't have that noise.

thanks.. i've tried that.. but every MKV file i've made from MAKEMKV doesn't come up in tsMuxer.. it keeps saying, "unable to read stream type" , very odd. I AM using a mod'd version of it since i'm on SNOW LEOPARD.. could that possibly be it?
