Re: Cost of MakeMKV

No, the OP is wrong. The price is $50 USD. No. It depends on where you live. No, it does not. The price is $50 USD if you pay in dollars. Sigh! You are right; it is $50 if you pay in dollars. However, only people living in the US (or, possibly, only people using an IP-address from a US address rang...

Re: Lots of duplicate tracks on new Blu-rays

Ah. This is interesting... I tested with a different title from the Looney Tunes BD. Title 18 this time. This title has two commentary tracks, plus two alternate audio tracks (music only and vocals only). The number of audio tracks are the same as the last cartoon, but this time, there are three cop...

Lots of duplicate tracks on new Blu-rays

Hi. I have recently ripped Tom and Jerry Golden Collection vol. 1 and Looney Tunes Plantinum Collection vol. 1, and in both cases, I've gotten several duplicate audio and subtitle tracks. Here's an example from Looney Tunes, disc 1, title 15: http://crusaders.no/~trondmm/makemkv_looney.png After rip...

Re: Cost of MakeMKV

The price is 50 euros so that is about $70. The OP is right on the price. No, the OP is wrong. The price is $50 USD. No. It depends on where you live. If you live in the US, the price is $50. If you live anywhere else in the world, the price is €50, which is about $70. It may also be 60 Euros (afte...

Re: Registration for Linux & Windows?

With single license you are supposed to use program at a single computer at a time. However MakeMKV has no checks to catch double usage and will never have Internet-based activation so it is more question of honesty. Just a quick question there. If I'm a single user, and I use it on several of my o...

Naming and ordering of HD DVD titles

Hi. I've finally started ripping my HD DVDs with MakeMKV, and I've noticed that MakeMKV gets the names wrong if there's a "play all" option that the title is part of. Here's a simplified excerpt from the VPLST000.XPL of the Galapagos HD DVD. <Title titleNumber="3" id="MainMo...

Re: [RFE] don't exclude menus

It was my understanding that MKV format doesn't define a "menu". This was mentioned earlier in the week in another topic. I think there is a way to pack content and mark it as "the menu", but there's no spec on what that content should be yet. Personally, I'm hoping for a HTML5/...

Re: "Cinavia" watermark protection

Right now, Cinavia is a non-issue, as almost no mediastreamers support Cinavia. I worry about the future, when it's likely that all companies that produce mediastreamers has been strongarmed into supporting it. And at that time we'll surely see "remove cinavia" tools on the net. Maybe eve...

Re: "exactly same content as DVD, all information is preserv

The thread you linked to is really polemic and not fact-based. I have asked on multiple forums how and if interactive DVD menus can be preserved (while transcoding to H264). I have either received no answer at all or the answer was "not possible", but when pressed how they would know, you...

Re: 3D Backups?

Are we saying MakeMKV cannot create the correct format files? Yes. But more importantly, that MKV does not support the 3D-format that's stored on a Blu-ray disc. So to create a mk3d file today, you must convert it from its native format to something else. This isn't a big deal when people pirate mo...

Re: I'd go ahead and buy MakeMKV if...

How do I use that with Plex then? Or what about Linux users? You don't. The point is that the Matroska spec is ready. Haali is the only available implementation, but there's nothing keeping the other players from supporting it too. So, if more tools to create seamlessly branched MKVs became availab...

Re: 3D Backups?

What is 3D mkv and how are you going to play it ( with what player) ? http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/notes.html#3D You do realize that it's not the way 3D video is stored on a blu-ray disc, right? Of course not ;) I was kinda hoping that one of the 14 stereo modes would be the one BD used....

Re: 3D Backups?

Cool -- thanks. Although, it doesn't sound (from what I'm reading at least) like MakeMKV can create a 3D MKV from a 3D Blu-Ray. Looks like dvdfab is the only company with the capability.
