Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?

This is my topic:

Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?
viewtopic.php?p=151942#p151942

where I wrongly talk about rewritable dvd’s. That should be recordable dvd’s.

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?

I posted a similiar topic on this forum regarding DVD-R’s of the Warner Archive Collection. In my case it was Amelia Earhart, Final Flight that I purchased through a partner of Amazon US. The artwork on the cover and the disc look ok, but I could do that myself with a color copier. MakeMKV and DVDFa...

Re: DVDFab/MacTheRipper Error

I reported the matter to the vendor but they didn’t respond. Amazon US refunded the purchase without further questions and without specifying the reason. End good, all good, I would say but I still don’t definitely know the box was genuine or not. If the industry is serious about discouraging illega...

Re: Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?

Curious - what makes a "DVD-R" "RE-writable"? It's officially "DVD-Recordable", so it doesn't have a re-writable quality. You’re right, I mixed things up. I wrote rewritable, but I meant recordable. My mistake. Still wondering whether these DVD-R’s (i.e. recordable DVD...

It is technically not possible to have CSS on burnable media. I don't know what the others are.
And there is no alternative protection method that works on DVD-R?

Re: Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?

So, the DVD-R’s from the Warner Archive Collection don’t have any copy protection [CSS, APS, UoP) because it is technically impossible or because the publisher doesn’t bother to protect them?

Re: Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?

So, there actually is no way to tell it's a counterfeit or not.

Can rewritable DVD's have copy-protection?

I have three simple questions about rewritable DVD's, but cannot find a definitive answer on the internet. I recently bought a DVD of the Warner Archive Collection. These are written on DVD-R (or On Demand as they say) and I have my doubts whether I received a legitimate copy or not. The vendor clai...

How to purge double captions in an .srt file?

I have a tv-series (Banacek) with these terrible rolling captions. Usually there are about 2 till 3 lines of subtitles at the bottom center. When an actor speaks the words are appended to the end (right bottom) and the existing words are shifted back (to the left and upwards). At the front (top left...

Re: Why can't I upload images to the MakeMKV.com forum?

Thank you for all the information and examples, it is clear to me now how to do it.

(I tried testing this out, but I don't get it to work at this moment. The image is not coming up in the post. The url itself works in the browser.)

Re: Why can't I upload images to the MakeMKV.com forum?

Just use imgur or similar if you link to photo directly and put in the makemkv img brackets it will embed with the post OK, haven't heard about imgur before, but probably enables me to put an image online and get a url for that image. Good solution, only disadvantage: yet another account. And it do...

Why can't I upload images to the MakeMKV.com forum?

I have been struggling a few times to upload images to the forum. They seem to upload, but somehow they don't come up as attachment.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Does the site refuse filenames with spaces?
