Depressing that we have to do this. No wonder the world has given up on media when the media companies can't be bothered to give you enough data on the disk to play the content in the right order. I look at CDs and lo, there's a CDDB with an ident and track listing for every CD (more or less). For v...

You were correct, tried cleaning but still no go, so I put the disk under my scope and took some pics of the damage: Weird burn mark? https://i.imgur.com/pz83SAO.jpg Not sure how the disc got that way, I'm usually VERY care with my DVD/BD collection. Cheers, Rob. The first pic is possibly delaminat...

Ok, a pro engine like Topaz spends a lot of generic CPU time doing things that, IMO, you probably didn't want to do to the data in the first place in order to justify its expense. I wouldn't call it "upscale" I'd call it an "enhancement" package, and tbh I usually turn those off,...

Your TV doesn't upscale to 4k for 1080p media already? How is your upscaling process so radically different from the on-the-fly conversion offered by most playback chipsets? Impressive though AI upscalers can be, some TVs have them now. And personally I can't get over the feeling that this is simply...

"Revision history MakeMKV v1.17.6 (20.1.2024) Improved handling for discs with mastering errors" .. dunno what this coding voodoo was, exactly, but a disk I've spent the last week trying to rip (due to a clear mastering fault, and on multiple drives) ripped first time after upgrading make...

I have one device that can play 3D MVC video from .mkv files, over HDMI as frame packed full HD 24p 3D to a suitable 3D TV. OSMC's Vero series (latest is the Vero V). And it can do this with files fed to it from USB sticks, NFS/SMB shares, uPnP file shares, you name it. https://osmc.tv/vero/ <--- sh...

Having done this on occasions it's only really practical if the drive tray is suitable, such that the disk doesn't simply fall off the spindle. Some drive trays have little hooks, some don't.

Hi @asmcom .. I've tried emailing a couple of times now and no response. I'm emailing from gmail, to your gmail account. I sent the last email on 3rd Jan, and just sent another one now. I wonder if my email is particularly spammy .. ?! I've not found any responses in my gmail spam folders either. Sh...

We assume you are playing the full bandwidth original files with no recompression .. do you actually have the available bandwidth to do this?

I did find some scripts online which can use ffmpeg to split out a single source file into per-chapter audio data, but again it's pretty tedious. What we have with all the auto-ripping and tagging stuff in audio CD land is sorely lacking in DVD/BD media land. There's not even a database that I'm awa...

TBH I think there's value in getting access to audio masters that are at a multiple of 48khz, just because it removes one step that a mastering studio can screw up - the resample to a 44khz medium. I've usually gone the tedious and slow route of extracting and processing with ffmpeg to pull two-chan...

Anyone getting responses from asmcom? I've sent two emails now..
