Re: Possible to rip MKV with only the DV BL (HDR10)?

Can't you just upload a non-DV EDID to Zidoo to disable DV out?

Re: Why are these titles not appearing as a able to rip?

The missing extra could be JAVA-based and not plain video. MakeMkv can only rip video to MKV.

Backup the entire disc instead of rip to MKV files to be played back via Oppo clone, Dune, Zappiti, or Zidoo if those non-video extras are important to you.

Re: Adaptation 4K - Which file?

I compared the playlists. The longer one just added one more production company logo at the beginning of the movie.

Re: Is ripping 4K Blu Rays Practical?

Now with 4K Blu Rays, I believe the amount of space would triple! That would mean you would need about a 15TB drive for a collection of 200 titles. I don't even think a single drive comes that big. So, I wanted to ask how people do it and why. I would not be interested any compression since that wo...

Re: Vertigo 4k UHD Only Ripping With Commentary

Media info of the MKV file would help. My guess is that your player cannot play DTS:HD or Dolby TrueHD track and defaulted to the DD stereo commentary track.

Copy the entire disc encrypted with Windows Explorer. Use ISO Maker to make the backup into ISO. Use MakeMkv to open the ISO.

Re: Convert manually file backup into encrypted MakeMKV backup

Make the backed up files and folders into an iso. Mount the iso. Then you can run MakeMkv against the mount to create decrypted backup.

Re: ripping uhd 4ks

You need to install LibreDrive firmware to make it capable of defeating copy-protection. The easiest way is to hire someone to write an executable to flash the drive for you. See this thread for example - viewtopic.php?f=20&t=17831

Re: Learning MakeMKV and I'm confused (Devil's Advocate Blu-Ray)

Studios can sometimes use the same disc for release in multiple regions. The second playlist with Japanese options was probably meant for the Japan region. Different menu options for different regions based on the region setting of the BR disc player. You will see this a lot on Disney discs. Sent fr...

Re: Really strange hdmi sync ONLY with The Martian UHD rip.

Other 4K discs with same issue
  • Hellboy
  • F9
  • The Natural
  • Halloween Kills
There may also be others. The issue is with Plex and not MakeMkv as the same files play fine on my Zidoo device.

Re: Really strange hdmi sync ONLY with The Martian UHD rip.

I assume that you were watching the extended cut of the movie through Plex. There is an ongoing issue with Plex and TrueHD track in extended cut MKV file made from a disc with dynamic branching (1 disc contains multiple cuts). The sound will get out of sync at each branching point as you described. ...

Re: Average UHD File Size

I understand you should never exceed 80% of the drive. Why is that? 80% is a general recommended best practice for Synology NAS volumes with SHR. The reason is that the extra headroom will make the array rebuild faster in case of repair (changing drive) or expansion (adding drives). Some people say...

Re: The Natural/Black Hawk Down

I'm really just curious as to what the issue might be. thanks Plex has issue with the TrueHD track on dynamic branching disc (multiple cuts on 1 disc) in general. I have the same issue you described on both the Shield Pro 2019 and Apple TV4K 2021. Audio on the extended cut MKV will start getting ou...
