Re: Chapters don't work in Armageddon

Try the different mkclean options and see if you can get it to work with any of these. Worst case you'll have a single command to execute after processing your file with MakeMKV to create a fully working MKV in your environment. It's still likely to be faster than Handbrake and you'll have the advan...

Re: Chapters don't work in Armageddon

When you say you play directly off a NAS, are you playing directly off a NAS to a BR player or a DVD player - if so which model? I mount one of my SMB shares from my NAs directly on my media players, which are Popcorn Hour models. So there is no streaming involved; they play the files directly from...

Re: Chapters don't work in Armageddon

I've got several hundred DVDs and BluRays ripped so far and, with the exception of one, the chapters work on all of them on my media players and in VLC Player on Windows. There is only one DVD that the chapters aren't being written correctly on and that's a known problem with a handful of poorly-aut...

Re: Chapters don't work in Armageddon

I'd suggest emailing the support email address so Mike can take a look at this and/or tell you what info he needs to properly investigate it. Chapters 'just work' on pretty much everything that supports chapters in MKVs so it's really odd that you're finding that MakeMKV chapters aren't working on t...

Re: HD DVD RIP Crashes

Did you put in the beta key? Mike said in another post that 1.7.0 should still work for the time being with the current key. If not then send him a message because he's aware of the problem but thought there was a workaround. It worked okay for me a couple of weeks ago when I needed to rip some more...

It won't make any difference. He's using 1.7.2 and HD DVD ripping has been completely broken since 1.7.1.

You need to go back to 1.7.0 until Mike fixes the problem.

Re: Aspect Ratio issue..

See the third post in that thread. DVDPatcher can be used to write the correct aspect ratio into the mpeg stream, so when MakeMKV processes it you'll end up with the correct aspect ratio in your MKV file. Please also add your comments to that thread so that Mike can get some more test files if neces...

Re: Editing MKV file

Often you'll have to do this anyway when there are multiple versions of subs in each language and you can't distinguish them before ripping, so it's worth knowing how to do it.

But, yes, if you just want English to be ripped then simply deselect the other tracks in MakeMKV.

Re: Editing MKV file

mkvmerge, which is part of MKVtoolnix is the easiest way.

Load in the MKV file, uncheck the streams you don't want and then hit remux.

Re: English subtitles always appear when I play my MPV

Thanks you but I'll go by Mosu's explanation of how MKVToolnix handles flags. Fair enough, but this is about VLC Player and MakeMKV, not MKVtoolnix. Whether Mosu is correct or not is moot since his product isn't a ripping or playback application and therefore it doesn't matter how he considers the ...

Re: LPCM issue

In the meantime just use eac3to to extract the LPCM track as FLAC and then re-mux it in place of the LPCM track in mkvmerge. You'll have the LCPM track compressed losslessly (i.e. no loss of fidelity whatsoever) and a space-saving to boot.

Re: Question concerning subtitles in English Language films

Check the MakeMKV GUI, each stream has a forced stream below it that extracts only items marked as forced into a separate stream. Select this one and set it to forced in MKVToolnix. This is true in most instances but a lot of films also seem to do forced subtitles the DVD way, which is to use softw...

Re: examining subtitles b4 ripping

Not easily. And also bear in mind that forced subtitles can be in a non-forced track that is switched on through software, so you really want to take all English tracks and then check the contents to determine whether they should in fact be forced. I rip all subtitles to MKV and then use eac3to to e...

Re: Merging 2 disc movies

Use the chapter editor in MKVtoolnix. You need to ensure that the chapter numbers in the second file you want to join are higher than the chapter numbers in the first part. So, for example, if your files are as follows: File 1: Chapter 01 -> Chapter 10 File 2: Chapter 01 -> Chapter 12 then you need ...
