Re: DOlby Vision only shows as HDR and many newbie questions
Dolby Vision is a surprisingly complicated thing. It has a concept they call profiles. When you watch a streaming service that has Dolby Vision, that's a profile 5 kind of DV. Lots of TVs and streaming boxes can decode and display profile 5 Dolby Vision. A UHD with Dolby Vision is profile 7. Decodi...

Re: cannot load disc - 8k Ultradigital HD?
As el-nebu suggests, this appears to be a regular 1080p blu-ray. https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Baraka-Blu-ray/1055/
The 8K reference apparently refers to a restoration process.

Re: Can MakeMKV retain ALL streams, even those it thinks are "empty"?
It should work as Woodstock describes. However, I think it should be possible to make a decrypted backup of the DVD with MakeMKV, which will make a .iso file. I think that will be able to be opened in MKVToolNix GUI where you can make .mkv files of the movie with whatever audio & subtitle tracks...

Re: Drive flashing - Linux command line or Windows?
I've never flashed on Linux, but I have flashed using the command line on macOS. It's fine. As I understand it, SDFtool is just a GUI for the command line flash utility included with MakeMKV.
In the end, regardless of platform, we're all using the same flash utility.

Re: version expires?
If you buy MakeMKV it'll work without expiration. You can use it on any platform MakeMKV supports (Windows, macOS, or Linux). I purchased MakeMKV a few years ago and haven't had to update my license key since. The only reason I notice that the beta key has expired is because folks start complaining ...

My ISP does not block my access and I was able to download new HKs earlier this week.

Re: Suzume (2022) Bonus Disc Debug Code
Not necessarily true.I've had discs that gave me debug codes that ultimately successfully ripped with no error message, but were broken/corrupted during playback. Were they DVDs or a blu-ray? As I understand it, MakeMKV uses the content hash table that's part of the blu-ray specification to verify ...

Re: MakeMKV Fails to Open Discs on BRAND NEW DVD Discs
MakeMKV's only purpose is to copy the bits from an optical disc into a file on your computer. If you choose to make a backup, which creates a .iso file in the case of a DVD, or make a .mkv file directly from the disc, the outcome is the same; a 1-to-1 copy of what's the on the disc. It is only after...

Thanks for the reply, @MartyMcNuts. I've never used Terminal, and I know you listed the commands at the top of the post, but is it possible to share more detailed per-step instructions with exactly what I need to type for each step? For example, I'm not sure how to interpret step 4: "copy sdf....

Re: Strange corruption issue - MakeMKV's fault or bad HDD?
It seems a lot of these third party PCIe USB expansion cards could be cheaply made junk prone to failure and corruption as well. Not sure I want to risk 2 years of archiving to some $30 PCB made to a price. Maybe I just have to get used to the idea of scanning everything with ffmpeg. Maybe that is ...

Re: DOlby Vision only shows as HDR and many newbie questions
I haven't tried it myself, but a Ugoos AM6B+ with recent builds of CoreElec can supposedly do it all.
