Re: Help with HARDWARE ERROR:TIMEOUT ON LOGICAL UNIT

To answer my own question ... You can pre-rip the DVD in question with dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 conv=noerror > Desktop/blah.iso The conv=noerror tells dd to ignore errors. And then mount this image for MakeMKVing. I don't know if all the errors in the image will break the MakeMKV part of the process, ...

Minor Bug: No audio selected on foreign language disks

Hi, Just a very minor bug report. I buy a lot of foreign language TV-series DVDs and then rip them. Typically on a DVD is a bunch of episodes (/N/ titles), where each title has Mpeg2 Video, and "[x] Subtitles English" already selected. But the only audio track "DD Stereo Japanese"...

Re: Feature Request - File Split by Chapter

Also would like to see this feature in MakeMKV, but until that I wrote a little script to do it for me. #!/bin/sh file=$1 timecodes=`mkvextract chapters -s "${file}"|grep "CHAPTER[0-9][0-9]="|sed '1,1d;:a;N;$!ba;s/CHAPTER[0-9][0-9]\=//g;s/\n/,/g'` mkvmerge --split timecodes:&quo...

Re: Any possibility of allowing "burned in" subtitles?

I'm probably being a pedant, but MKV is a container format, not a CODEC. MakeMKV takes whatever format the disc is in, and re-packs it into a MKV container, so say you are ripping blue-ray - your MKV would be packed with a MP4/h264 video, or perhaps VC-1. The subtitles are also packed into the MKV -...

Re: Unwanted Subtitles

1.6.3 works very nicely

Hi, I'm a purchased-key user of MakeMKV. I updated to the 1.6.3 (linux) version a few weeks ago. I just wanted to say that it's performing very well. I haven't had a problem using it with any of my titles, and it exhibits no bugs at all. Because of this, MakeMKV has become an indispensable addition ...
