corupt or invalid file

I've been using a registered copy of MakeMKV to put all my dvd/blurays to my Synology nas. All has been fine until today. I was copying "Bicentennial man," and got the following error. The source file '/VIDEO_TS/VTS_03_1.VOB' is corrupt or invalid at offset 73728, attempting to work around...

which file

I've been using MakeMKV, "registered," for about a year and I'm probably going to get yelled at. However, I usually just rip one file, "the movie," and not all of the other files. I'm doing one now that has three 37.5gb files, is there a way to tell which one is the actual movie?...

wrong display size (widescreen)

I just used Makemkv to rip a copy of I Robot which polay in a dvd player as widescreen. However, the disc is labelled full screen and the Ripped mkv file is standard, a square. What did I do wrong. TIA

Re: MKV versus handbrake

i mean you dont really need to shrink a dvd any more they are so small just use makemkv without handbreak 18 TB HDDs are at $12 a TB when they are on a good deal. i would rather the original quality and take up more space. I definitely have enough space at 40tb. Same here with quality. Thank you!!!!

MKV versus handbrake

I've been ripping DVDs for a little while using Makemkv and then handbrake. In handbrake what is the best preset to use for say Top gun Maverick.

Also is it an advantage to use handbrake over just using Makemkv. TIA

Noob!

aspect ratio

Good evening hope all is well. I just got my Plex setup going again. I had left these files mkv's and placed them into my /video folder, added the folder as a library to Plex. Some things I noticed, the viewing aspect ratio isnt the same as the dvd. One particular video will play full screen/wide sc...

Re: New to makemkv

Thank you, Woodstock, and Dcoke. I should have said I'm running it on a Synology DS920 which supports hardware encoding. I'm guessing mkv is the way to go. Luckily, I kept both versions.

New to makemkv

New to makemkv and am using it to rip my home dvd collection for Plex. I also have been running it through handbrake. I recently discovered that Plex can play mkv files. If so, why am I converting them to m4v files with handbrake. Any advantage to this?

Re: What Backend/Frontend Encoder Do You Use?

Nube here. Why doesn't the author add a handbrake to mkv so we only need one program. Or did I miss that in one of the faqs?
