Tell MakeMKV to grab ALL the audio tracks, then find out which one is the movie audio. It isn't always the "best quality" audio track.

When you rebooted, was it a "reset" type reboot, or just shutdown/restart? I ask because sometimes it is the hardware interface that is the issue, and that doesn't get reset properly unless the motherboard sees a reset signal. It gets the reset on power up, or when you press the reset butt...

Are there any errors at "loading disk" stage, before you ask MakeMKV to scan it?

Logs would help - see the FAQ link in my signature.

There are a lot of reasons this can happen. Right now we only know that it is happening. The debug log will show if there are any errors causing it.

I cannot speak for Mike on why various things are tagged as "advanced", but there are good reasons to not enable expert mode automatically... There are a lot of things in the advanced section that can make MakeMKV "malfunction" if you don't know what you're changing. A good examp...

And if you just copy the disk to a directory, MakeMKV can't read the information necessary to find the volume key, so it will be interesting when Mike pops up to tell us how this is supposed to work if backup doesn't work...

I think the key part is in this sentence: The simple workaround is to copy all files from the disc to the hard drive manually, without MakeMKV running. If you succeed in this , there is a fast and simple way to convert such copy into encrypted MakeMKV backup that can be opened by MakeMKV later. See ...

Actually, that quote is from Mike... it's a new error report link in 1.10.4. It points here: http://www.makemkv.com/errors/read/

But I'm not sure what he means by "see the forum", because I've not seen anything like that come up before.

Have you looked at using Expert mode, and changing the default selection rules?

My settings have everything except 3D MVC being selected automatically...

My experience with Kodi is that it does too many things I don't like when presented with a lot of choices, so I have to manually clean up those choices beforehand. It your description would indicate to me that it is playing back the "closed caption" titles, which are part of the video trac...

While I have experimented a couple of times with using MakeMKV as "translator" for other programs, I don't recall it working well in that role. There are issues with your buffer settings, such as having to make them small or you get time-out problems when the disk spins down while the buff...

Quick note - it's a lot easier to read messages if you insert line breaks every once in a while... It's the visual equivalent of taking a breath while talking. :) "What is feature and what is extra?" Varies with the disk. I tell MakeMKV to rip everything over 30 seconds long, and sort it o...

That requires a program to do transcoding. I use handbrake (see handbrake.fr), but that isn't the only tool out there.

Rip with MakeMKV, and you have lots of options for post-processing to your final needs.

That's actually a VERY good question.... one I had when I saw the errors page. Suspicion (only that because I haven't tested it) is that you would use the same procedure as opening a backup, i.e., use the File-Open Files menu, navigate to the directory that was created by the copy, and selecting the...

Windows has the "Event Viewer", which you can find in the start menu, assuming you have it enabled. You can access it directly, if you have admin privileges, with this run command: %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s You're looking for events that occurred at the same time as the crash, unde...
