Question about Speed of DVD Ripping

I have been using an external Blu-ray drive to rip DVDs and Blu-rays with an older laptop using a USB 2.0 input. I was spending quite a bit of time ripping a boxed set I have of DVDs. Each "season" of DVDs has five DVDs that are dual-layer 7 GB discs. And each "season" of DVDs ha...

March Beta has DVD problems

I was recently trying to back up some DVDs I own using the March beta. But, there was an interesting problem I ran into that could be repeated each time. If I simply tried ripping the DVD and walked away from the computer, everything was fine. But, if I tried using the Internet (I use Chrome) while ...

How to make Java work with MakeMKV?

In the past, on a different computer, I was able to get Java to work with MKV so the names of files on the Blu-ray were titled properly from Java. Unfortunately, on a new computer, that no longer happens. It seems to be as if Java no longer works at all on this computer. Please tell me what needs to...

A/V Sync Issues are very real in TV Shows and Movies

I purchased the Twilight Zone Boxed Set of Blu-rays over the summer. Unfortunately, two of the discs had video problems and could not be ripped perfectly without errors that were identified with numbers.
