Re: Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark
I rented from Netflix and I was disappointed that 261 was not an option that was available. So, I simply selected the "Main Feature" from Java. I ripped the movie, because I did not have time to watch it at the time. Unfortunately, when I went to watch the movie a couple weeks later, it wa...

How to Contact Paramount - Paramount does NOT Reply to Emails
QUESTION: Does anyone know how to contact Paramount regarding a defective Blu-ray? I purchased the boxed set of The Twilight Zone on Blu-ray about a year ago. Obviously it takes time to watch five years worth of episodes. I have now found two Blu-ray discs that have problems. They clearly are defect...

Re: 3D MKV Solution Apparently Found - But Not Sure Why
ADDITIONAL INFO (HOW TO USE MPC-BE TO PLAY MVC MKV 3D MOVIES): I now know of a way to modify MPC-BE to play 3D MVC MKV movies, as well. I will explain how to do this here, and explain "how" I found out how to do this. This means I now know of two reliable PC players - MBC-BE and MPC-HC - t...

Re: Can MakeMKV properly rip 3D Blu-rays?
When I use MPC-HC with madVR to play 3D MVC MKV files, it is seen as a Side-by-Side image on the laptop and on the HDTV screen until I "Manually" select "Side-by-Side" on the HDTV. Then, it becomes a unified 3D image. When this method is used with MPC-HC and madVR, does the reso...

Re: Can MakeMKV properly rip 3D Blu-rays?
3D Blu-rays are not encoded SBS or Top Bottom, they are encoded as frame-packed. QUESTION: Above, you previously said that "3D Blu-rays are not encoded Side-by-Side or Top Bottom, they are encoded as frame-packed." When I use MPC-HC with madVR to play 3D MVC MKV files, it is seen as a Sid...

Re: 3D MKV Solution Apparently Found - But Not Sure Why
These are really questions for the makers of the playback software, not for MakeMKV. Short answer: playback software simply doesn’t support 3D MKVs. And yes, you do need a certain amount of processing power - and compatible Windows version, graphics card, and viewing device - for MPC/madVR playback...

3D MKV Solution Apparently Found - But Not Sure Why
MAIN SUBJECT: I have found that using MPC-HC with MadVR allows your Windows 10 PC to display a Side-by-Side 3D Image whenever it sees a MVC MKV 3D Blu-ray that has been ripped. You simply right-click, and then select "Options." Then, under "Playback" go to "Output." The...

Re: Can MakeMKV properly rip 3D Blu-rays?
Short answer, yes, MakeMKV works properly with 3D Blu-rays. It copies the data exactly as it is on the disc into the MKV container. What you do with the MKV afterwards for playback will depend on the requirements and capabilities of your playback software and hardware. 3D Blu-rays are not encoded S...

Can MakeMKV properly rip 3D Blu-rays?
QUESTION: Can MakeMKV properly rip 3D Blu-rays? I have tried to do some research online before giving this a try. Based on what I have read online, it sounds like there is a difference between the Side-by-Side 3D Format and the Top-Bottom 3D Format in terms of whether or not they can be played back ...

Twilight Zone Boxed Set - Season 1 Problems
I recently purchased the Twilight Zone Boxed Set of Blu-ray discs. This includes every episode of all five seasons. Many (but not all) of the episodes have a radio commentary broadcast version of the episode. You can easily select this option when it is available for that particular episode while wa...

Why are Blu-ray 2:35:1 when they should be 16:9? - There's Proof
I recently watched The Maze Runner trilogy of movies on Blu-ray. I then watched The Maze Runner movies on Comcast. It was very obvious to me that the Comcast versions that filled the HDTV screen with 16:9 Widescreen were showing me things that were NOT seen in the 2:35:1 Ultra Widescreen version on ...

Re: Playlist obfuscation: The Whole Truth
I watched the Netflix version of The Whole Truth on Blu-ray simultaneously with the Track 190 on my laptop. 100% of the scenes were identical. It appears that the "Track" is different in various versions, but the "Segment Map" is identical. The Segment Map in Track 190 was Segmen...

Re: Divergent Bluray
I watched the Netflix rental Blu-ray simultaneously with the 810 version. I can confirm 100% of the scenes in the 810 version are identical to the Blu-ray. Therefore, this is the correct information: Source file name: 00810.mpls Duration: 2:19:40 Chapters count: 16 Size: 20.0 GB Segment count: 15 Se...

Re: Blu-ray movies inferior to Starz Movies
It is a choice. DVD and BD have defined aspect ratios and pixel resolutions. You can use anamorphic settings to "stretch" pixels, but, at the end of the disk, you are stuck with 640x480 and 1920x1080 pixels of information. Few TVs/monitors have resolutions that aren't a multiple of 1920x1...
