Re: Extracting only 1 stream from Blu ray disc ?

Not really - the Backup feature is "whole disk".

Remember that a "main title" can be more than one m2ts file. Watching MakeMKV rip Rogue One to MKV files earlier this month, the main feature was pulled together from MANY m2ts files.

Re: Issues with audio

I've had problems with VLC playing some DTS audio. I would think they would have fixed it by now.

Re: Application failed to initialize (Windows 10)

Most likely cause is Windows Defender. It has a tendency to quarantine parts of MakeMKV after some updates, because the MakeMKV update server is in an "unsafe" location.

You can enter an exception for MakeMKV. At least, I'm told you can - I don't run Defender.

Re: Backups and Encryption

Not a silly question. But some people, for some reason, might want to keep the encryption.

I cannot think of a GOOD reason to do so, but maybe I'm just not playing in the same box that they keep their thoughts in. :)

Re: Newbie Questions

MakeMKV can run completely without an internet connection. If you purchase a key, it's for "lifetime", and you avoid having to enter a new beta key every couple of months. I have no clue how often AnyDVD updates. You can view the update history of MakeMKV here: /download/ You be the judge....

Re: The Void

MakeMKV should detect it if the disk is already decrypted, but that is almost unheard of in a commercial DVD. The debug messages received, though, should be meaningful to Mike, the software's author. The quickest way to get his attention is to email him at support@makemkv.com with a link to this top...

Re: The Void

Without seeing the debug information, it is VERY hard to say.

Re: Things to Come (2016)

What happens if you allow MakeMKV to open the disk automatically? It is possible that the manual choice points to an invalid collection of chapters. It's also possible that there is an error in the directory structure, either from a disk defect or something as simple as a fingerprint. Please follow ...

Re: The Man With The Golden Gun

The fact that the MakeMKV gets past so many of the bad areas, they seem to be transient, or, more precisely, marginally bad, and retries gets through them, most of the time. But, sometimes, it can't, and so the title is skipped. Have you cleaned the disk yet? Damp, soft cotton or microfiber cloth, n...

Re: Successful video rip: but variation in volume level

MakeMKV is ripping the audio tracks "as they are", unless you tell it to convert them to FLAC (free lossless audio codec). Without knowing what software you used for the other rips, I have no idea what that software did with the audio tracks. I have found that some players do weird things ...

Re: DVD's not saving?

If VLC can only play half the movie, there is likely a flaw in the disk, or a fingerprint. VLC will skip over minor errors (one or two sectors) when reading directly from the disk (it doesn't need any conversion to play DVDs). And handbrake will stop converting when it receives a bad sector error.

Re: DVD's not saving?

back in '14 when I posted my message, I had less experience with Disney disks, but, generally speaking, there are 2 or 3 copies of the movie present, identical except for the titles and credits, which will be in English, Spanish, and French. On Bluray, the "800" file is the English version...

Re: Remove subtitles from mkv?

Unfortunately, with JUST MakeMKV, it can't be done. If players actually used the "default" flag, it would be a different story. I've even thought about putting together a text-based, EMPTY subtitle track I could merge into files as the "first" subtitle track, to get around it. Bu...

Re: AACS 2.0 is cracked?

Until someone publishes code to do this, it would be hard for MakeMKV to "update" to do it. For all we know so far, they managed to obtain ONE key and crack ONE disk. Yes, that's a remarkable change from "No keys, no disks", but still not a general cracking.
