**BUG** MakeMKVs FLAC BPS tag is WRONG

It's a tenth of what it should be. The silly thing is the duration and the stream size are correct and BPS is nothing but stream size divided by duration. I'm not even sure why Mosu added the BPS tag in the first place, I thought the consensus was BPS was open to interpretation. (...should BPS be de...

Re: Anamorphic DVD Is Forced to 4:3 Ratio

MakeMKV takes it's AR info from the stream, not the IFO. If not corrected properly, some programs will still obey the stream headers and play 16:9 as 4:3 regardless of what the Matroska Headers say, which is why it's best to use restream on the affected videos. Windows Media Player is an example of ...

Re: Difference between MakeMKV and MKVToolNix

In which scenarios can the audio be longer or shorter than the video, if they come from the same source? An NTSC film frame is 41.708333.. milliseconds long. An AC3 frame is 32 milliseconds long. That makes it highly unlikely any given AC3 audio track will be of exactly the same length as any parti...

Re: Difference between MakeMKV and MKVToolNix

MakeMKV decrypts optical discs, re-encodes audio, makes sure video tracks are in sync with the audio and are fully constant frame rate with no gaps. MKVMerge makes no attempt to sync audio, if the audio is a little shorter or longer than the video it will leave a gap in whichever is the shorter. It'...

Re: Fun with Powershell And TV on Blu Ray

I've actually run out of hard drive space, but the script in its current iteration actually does a bloody good job. I still need to put more work into determining segment durations, and I haven't really touched the sorting of tracks yet but mostly I need to see about sorting out discs with the Play ...

Re: Anamorphic DVD Is Forced to 4:3 Ratio

That's what happens when the AR in the stream doesn't match the AR in the DVD IFO. Correcting the AR in the Matroska headers is a partial fix for the problem, but it still doesn't change the AR in the stream headers, which can still cause problems. To fix the problem "properly" you need to...

Re: Default selection rules and a kind request for a rule-ge

I should point out that selecting only forced tracks isn't such a great idea. Far too many forced tracks are initiated via Java rather then by the forced flag. If you do use that selection you'll miss any of the Java style forced tracks that you happen to come across.

... Here's a thought ...

Is it possible to limit the number of threads a new user can create?

To be honest, I don't see any reason even the most seasoned forum member should feel the need to create more than five in a single day.

Re: Converting for Apple TV with SOFT subtitles

I used MKVExtract, DVD SubExtractor, eac3to, avisynth, x264, mp4box and some custom batch/powershell scripts to make mp4s for my iPhone, they should work fine with an apple TV too...

Feature Request Add "No Drives" as an option in 1 drive mode

Some of us mux files occasionally, and I'm getting rather tired of stopping to wonder if there's a disc in any of my drives before choosing one I'm pretty sure is empty.
