Re: 3D blu-ray is dead, may it rest in peace.

It never helped that they released a bunch of movies that weren't actually filmed in 3D with 3D added in post as a gimmick to sell copies to the 5 people with 3D TVs, and anyone who saw those immediately went out and bought a TV without 3D support. :mrgreen:

Re: 4K Blu-Ray doesn’t rip properly due to a scratch

Brand new 4K Blu-Ray doesn’t rip properly due to a scratch, seller wont accept a return ”as the disc should play properly on a Blu-Ray player” I bought a brand new 4K Blu-Ray movie, but it keeps failing to rip the movie. I took a look a the disc under a bright light and there’s a tiny, but deep scr...

Re: Can't get rid of the "Trivia" notes

There's a different feature of blurays that's rarely used called a secondary video stream that shows PiP-like boxes, it's probably not subtitles (since they'd want it to be usable with the subtitles / closed captions). BD+ can also draw things like this but it's highly unlikely. If you want to get r...

Re: Let's try this again from the top

The disk has no protection so you don't need MakeMKV for it, and there's no official standard for a 4k writable movie disk which is what this is since you can't get a UHD stamped in the normal movie format without being an AACS member, whoever this is just burned a bunch of them. It's highly likely ...

Re: Weird color separation

Nobody had better post the setting in VLC that needs to be changed to fix this and make the thread USEFUL or anything, just keep treating it like a state secret and saying YOU found it. Lord.

Re: What does this error mean?

Hi,so I used tsMuxeR to make a video file ready for burning but got this error: H264 warn: Unexpected pic_order_cnt_lsb value 1. FrameNum: 175840 slice type: P_TYPE Since I had a BD-RE available I burned the image anyway and it seems to work fine in my bluray player. Anyone knows what the mentioned...

Re: DTS HDMA audio muxing question

Righto, gotcha both, thanks. I never even considered that the player would decode, but of course it would. Cheers Oz Oddly enough, since it's the only one not documented at all, FLAC is the only lossless track type that's usable as a primary audio track in MP4s for LG's built in player (needed if y...

The error messages track with what you'd see if the drive shut down due to power issues...<snip>
I've also seen these from a loose or defective SATA cable. Something else to check if the unlimited speed thing worked in the past and more recently stopped.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.

Hi everyone. I recently bought a new PC with Windows 11. To my surprise I found that drag and drop on the command prompt doesn't work and as a result I can't use the script at all. Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it? I've never used the script, but I'd recommend just learning to use ...

Re: John Wick 4

Mine failed a couple of times an hour ago (the most it managed was 1.4MB) and I tried again. The download failed at 1.7MB this time but apparently one of the files in there had the key for my disc in it because it's decrypting... so the server is still being flaky but if you get lucky and pull enoug...

Re: John Wick 4

Since I don't know exactly how MakeMKV determines whether a new _private_data.tar is needed and it pulled one on Tuesday, I decided to give moving it out of the makemkv data directory a try to force a new download a try (there's a registry key that seems to indicate it tracks how long its been since...

Re: UHD John Wick 3 Issues

Going into View -> Preferences, and enabling "Expert mode" (and possibly "Log debug messages") should give you more useful output. Are you backing up the entire disc, or just a certain title? John Wick 3 (as a Lionsgate title) may have been one (I haven't backed my copy up in aw...

Re: ASUS BC-12B1ST "Freezing" While Saving

I had exactly the same behavior on an Asus BW-161HT internal drive when the SATA cable was just a little loose on the drive side. As far as I could tell the vibrations when the drive got going were enough to start causing intermittent contact on one of the pins. With the internal drive, this would r...

Re: Return to House on Haunted Hill

Well, the Rifftrax of it is pretty good but they only sell an on-demand of the DVD resolution version or the live show version there (but do have an audio-only track for sale too) so that'd be good enough reason for me. Thanks for the info
