The MKV format has settings to set a crop on the video track which can be changed with mkvtoolnix. However, in my experience most players either ignore them or handle them in very wrong or confusing ways. If it worked, it would be perfect for that, but I just end up re-encoding. Thank you! You made...

The black frames uses not much space in the file, because there is no action or difference between the frames. The codecs detects this and compress this to some few bytes. Anyway, DVDs are encoded in MPEG2 (like JPEG) whch produces a lot of artefacts surrounding objects. The other problem is that o...

After "playing" with the Independence Day DVD to get it to display correctly, I believe that I can manipulate the settings in the MKV file (through the toolbox) to display properly through the WDTV Live device, which I use. I will be testing The Abyss, which is available on DVD only in Le...

Thank you that's great info.

So I've read about the 5.1 core being extracted from the 7.1 track by MakeMKV. It's sometimes said you can keep it to maximize compatibility. I'm just wondering if there are any real-world experiences where the 7.1 track can't be downsized by your equipment. After all, when playing the film on the b...

Hey sacdman, I've just sent you a question via PM as a fellow Canadian, if you have time to look at it. Thanks!

Hello asmcom, Just letting you know I've just sent you an email inquiry at uhdfriendlydrives@gmail.com. Thank you! Hopefully we got you? Asmcom :mrgreen: Yes! Your emails mention you're on vacation but you've been replying with the information I need anyway and now just sent me a quotation with shi...

Review: Pioneer BDR-S13UEBK This is an excellent drive and worked fine right out of the box. Arrived in perfect shape and was the right item. Customer service was excellent, although the price was a little more than I hoped to pay, but these are quality drives and are not easy to come by. Hoping th...

Hello asmcom,

I'm in Canada btw.

Hey asmcom, Do you offer recommendations on which drive to get on the ones you offer? I'm writing here as I do not have the option to send a PM yet. I'm planning to rip a thousand movie collection. Only about 15 4K Blu-rays (not a lot but I want to rip them), over 500 DVDs and the rest are blu-rays....

Thanks Billy. I will try that out.

Did that work well for you? I'm thinking of getting the same thing.
