USB-C work okay? enough speed / throughput?

My positively ancient desktop appears to be giving up. I haven't bought new hardware in a while, and as I am shopping I am seeing that none of the replacement desktops (much less laptops) seem to come with optical drives. Or even cases that are able to support adding in my own optical drives. Or if ...

Re: Thor: The Dark World

Wow, thank you so much to those who have contributed to this topic. I ripped Dark World a while back and never got around to watching it. Normally my standard settings for subtitles work just fine, but in this case the Dark Elf dialog did not come through. I was going nuts trying to figure it out an...

Re: How to get individual episodes for tv shows

It is quite rare for me to find a TV show that doesn't already have separate files for each episode. I can only think of one case where I had to split by chapter, and I don't even remember what that was now. Out of curiosity, what TV show(s) are you trying to convert?

Re: Bad Setup File? (Virus Detected)

I got the same message. Deleted 1.14.1.exe from my system via the quarantine clean-up, then came back today and re-downloaded the file. As soon as the file completed the download (Widows O/S) I re-scanned it. No errors presented. Then I ran the installer. It went fine. So I don't know what was causi...

It runs the same process each time, yes.

Re: Episode order on disc

I've found that while tracks are often out of order, the mpls files are. For example, I have a disc of a particular TV series that I'm ripping now. For Disc 1, the playlists are 800.mpls, 801.mpls, and 802.mpls. However, they are track 5 (Game_Of_Thrones_Season_6_Disc_1_t05.mkv), 1, and 2. The vario...

Re: Feature Request: an "Uncheck All" feature

Uncheck All works only at the level of the click. If you go into an episode, you can right-click and "Uncheck all" again at that level to remove the marks you highlighted.

Re: How to choose between Duplicate files

On the "out of order" front, check the Source File name field in the Info section - usually, the number in that name will increase as you find each episode. If they're out-of-order in the list, if you name them IN order, you will usually be right. Frequently but not 100% at least in my ex...

Re: How to choose between Duplicate files

The most frequent reason I've encountered for duplicate titles is language tracks. In every case, both versions of the same file will include English. It's the secondary languages that are different. I see this most frequently on TV shows (rarely movies). I'm attaching a screen shot from Arrow Seaso...

Re: A few questions on audio settings and playback programs

Congrats on your family expansion. :) I'm not an expert, but the process of ripping to a file doesn't do anything to the audio or video quality. It's what comes next that does. For example, my workflow includes ripping the disc with MakeMKV, then encoding the file with HandBrake, tagging it with Ato...

My copy of Star Trek: The Next Generation was the same way (hand prints). Turned out to be counterfeit.

Re: jpeg files

If you browse the blu-ray disc itself, you'll probably find the jpeg is a background image for a menu or something. It's not a copy of the cover picture... that would make too much sense.

Re: Need a new BD drive, which one?

Here's my after-purchase report. I got the LG model mentioned above and installed it this past weekend. With only one exception, every disc that I had received "read errors" on before was ripped successfully using the new drive. That in itself made it worth the cost to buy it. A secondary ...
