I bought 2 units, LG WH16NS40 drives that of course shipped with ver. 1.05 firmware. I followed the instructions on here for flashing them to DE_LG_WH16NS40-NS50_1.02.bin <-- Using a Windows computer. The flash went fine on both of them and I even tested a 4K rip of one of my StarWars discs. Both ra...

I can't begin to thank you enough for all that leg work you put in, it greatly helped me. But there were a lot of variances that I had to figure out. They must have rearranged many of the episodes from different printings. I just very recently bought mine off Amazon/USA, and I kept a strict log of w...

Thank You very much!

I am using MKV to backup my library for my Plex server. When I rip "The Invaders", there are 3 episodes on each disc, but the layout is such that there are 2 files around 1.7GB, and 2 files around 5.3 GB. The 2 smaller files are of 2 of the 3 episodes, and the other larger files have all 3...

There are a lot of factors that go into how fast an optical drive can read data from a disc. Modern versions of MakeMKV use built in ' speed control ' to actively slow down reading in various situations in order to increase the odds of a successful rip. That same speed control also lets MakeMKV rea...

Thank you for that reply! I am aware of the file extension part, I was more interested in knowing the _txx. aspect of it, and I guessed as much, but wasn't absolutely sure, sometimes there are more extenuating reasons that you may come upon on your own.

Cheers,

What is the purpose of MakeMKV adding the "_t00.mkv" (or progressively t01, t02... with multiple files from the disc as in TV episodes) at the end of the file created?

TIA




PS I tried doing a search on this in the forums here but with no luck.

Dear wmcclain, I tried your method about 4 months ago, but my simple mind (being new to Linux) just didn't understand how much I had to know or navigate for this. HOWEVER, today I gave it another whirl, and finally found the solution, as it is not as simple as it is in Windows. I am posting this in ...

That is the first place I went. However in Linux MInt 19.3, there are no other drives available to choose from, other that the system Drive.

Unless it is either more cryptic to navigate to, or not available.

Is there a way to direct and save the output file to an alternative Drive, other than the default system drive.

For the record:
I am using Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64bit.

Thanks in advance

Is it a serious problem that I should look at fixing? I don't know what SDF is so some context would be helpful. It is still a little secret, but having this file is good for you. You can always download SDF.bin manually from https://www.makemkv.com/svq/sdf.bin and put it into MakeMKV data director...

Gotta have the highest respect for this paizon, (Alex Coluzzi)!! I knew that after a great deal he did with me on a new drive, that he could offer some very helpful assistance in directing me to flash my LG drive. I had a few issues but they were quickly overcome thanks to his expertise!! It is sooo...

Thanks woodstock, In my current setup, I have an ASUS P8/P67 pro MB, with an Intel i5 2500k(4core), and 8GB RAM. I have kind of figured that the ripping wasn't important as the drive really dictates that, and I have a couple top notch 4k UHD drives. I am leaning toward the MSI X570-A PRO Motherboard...

Can anyone say as to which CPU on the market is best for ripping, and encoding video discs?
Cheers,

:D Just got my drive from Alex, though he was very over burdened, he never failed to keep his customer apprised of his progress. I understand he had just recently recovered from a nasty illness, and worked double time to get his orders out. Shipped from the west coast to the east coast on Monday, I ...
