Re: Recording from streaming sources

spam In what way is my post spam? My mentioning some products that I used? It's no more spammy than posts recommending specific models of optical drives for ripping your discs with. And it's not like what I said is unalloyed praise of these products either. Because your post has nothing at all to d...

So the problem not existing on Windows is a limitation of Windows? That makes sense.
Calling it a limitation probably isn't the best choice of words. It's a difference in how linux and Windows handles filenames. It is not what I would class as a bug as it's working on both OSes as designed.

Re: Bug? Not showing all files (ISO vs iso extension case-sensitive)

Not so much a bug, as a limitation of Linux. You are completely correct in your observation except one thing: It is not a limitation of linux. It is working by design. If anything, it is a limitation of FAT/NTFS that they are case insensitive. Remember: Unix came long before DOS/Windows. And Unix h...

Re: Errors

Read the text closely, those are not errors, they are warnings.

If MakeMKV is working then you have nothing to worry about.

Re: Error Message

It could be the the DVD laser has died so only BD and UHD disks will work with that drive. Or, is the drive in an external enclosure? I have a drive that when used internally works fine for DVD/BD/UHD but when in an external enclosure DVD will not work.

Re: Make MKV from already ripped DVD folder on drive?

Thanks. I had tried this but for some reason I got errors on the first couple that I tried. It's working now. Not sure what I did wrong before or if I had some weird DVD structures. Not all VIDEO_TS structures are created properly. In particular I get lots of 'MactheRipper' warnings on some DVD ima...

Re: Splitting apart episodes

I tried MKVToolNix, but it seems even more completed. Thanks for the input. Daryl What's complicated? Using MKVToolNix to just split a file by chapters is easy. Usually DVDs that do what you described has the episodes as chapters in the 'movie' version that you ripped. Load the file up in MKVToolNi...

Re: DUMP not working

You probably need a valid output file name like -o firmware.dump instead of -o ./ (thats a invalid filename)

Re: Main site hacked?

This happens occasionally. I'd guess Mike will fix it soon. But since it's hosted in Russia I hope isn't not the Ukraine sanctions causing it.

Re: Subtitles for foreign language only?

I normally use MKVToolNix to manually set the 'forced' flag on the correct subtitle track once I know what it is. Doesn't take hardly any time at all to update the mkv.

Just curious but why are you complicating your workflow by even using AnyDVD when MakeMKV is all you need.
