Re: Blu-ray frozen video/active audio

Billcar11 is right, the processor in your TV is likely not powerful enough to handle VLC playing a high data rate BR movie. Try: 1. See if your TV recognizes your easystore as an attached hard drive and will play the MKV files on its own without VLC. 2. Compress the MKV files mildly to about one thi...

Re: Pioneer firmware update February 2023

Writable Blu-Ray discs are not suitable for long term storage. M-Disc is marginally better but a hard drive is best. Your original printed disc is also reliable. Many MKV users use a networked hard drive system for playback and keep the original discs for backup. If you want to be doubly secure, kee...

Re: Video files disappeared?

MakeMKV gives you exactly what was on the Blu-Ray disk. H264 is the compression method commonly used for Blu-Ray disks and the player apps will decode it. What did you expect to find?

Use the large spinning disk button to create an mkv file from the Blu-Ray disk.

Re: External Hard Drives

It depends on the size of drive you need. For large HDDs search for "Backblaze" which gives reliability of many HDDs. The price of SSDs has fallen like a rock recently so for 1 to 2 TB these are a good choice.

Strangely, https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/ seems to still work to get to the forum but this won't help those using www.makemkv.com/forum/.

Re: Magical Disappearing Playlist(s)

Now on v.1.17.4 and it's still doing this. It's really annoying too... The disc I'm ripping at the moment has two playlists for the main feature, the 'normal' movie (00001.mpls) with 16 chapters, and another playlist (00006.mpls) with 56 chapters, which relate to the "Blu-Pop" Picture-In-...

Re: Regular user, but not a power user...

Handbrake has a setting to boost the audio level - click expand when looking at the audio settings. On my version it's a two step process to retain this boost in a profile. First save the audio settings then update (or save) the profile.

Re: Open a Blu-ray Manually or show ALL segments?

The decrypted backup gives you full access to everything on the disc including each segment. Don't blame MakeMKV if the publisher of the disc does not make an individual playlist for each episode.

Re: Open a Blu-ray Manually or show ALL segments?

Woodstock and dcoke22 have given good answers to your question in the first two replies in this thread. 1. Use mkvtoolnix to break the large combined MKV file into separate pieces at the chapter boundaries (Woodstock). 2. Use MakeMKV to create a decrypted backup and use your file browser to access t...

Re: Why is there no option to preview any given title before you rip it?

Since you cannot view any .m2ts file until it is decrypted, you must decrypt them all. Then you can view and select the one you want. The slow part is just reading the data from the optical drive. How would any preview function in MakeMKV help? Once the disc is backed-up to your hard drive, you can ...

Re: Why is there no option to preview any given title before you rip it?

dcoke22 gives a solution https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=133965#p133965 if you are looking for individual episodes in a series. Have you tried that? One of the .m2ts files may be the part you want. A preview would not be helpful for discerning the correct mpls out of several hundred....

Re: Tabbed Window for Multiple Drives

This would benefit commercial users but just add more complication for the average user. A better choice would be to develop a separate program that would monitor and display the progress of each instance of MakeMKV. You should offer some prize to entice a developer for this new application. Other i...
