Re: 1.17.6 DMG is Damaged

I suppose it could have been repaired in the last few hours, I just installed 1.17.6 cleanly on my M2 Air Sonoma 14.3.

Re: Life is Sweet UK bluray - huge number main title playlists

just giving this thread a bump, had hoped that 1.17.5 might do better with playlist obfuscation, but in spite of makemkv picking up my Java installation I'm still getting a massive number of playlists on this title with none indicated as a main feature. I did submit an upload as suggested, happy to ...

Re: Life is Sweet UK bluray - huge number main title playlists

thanks for a reminder about that post, I've sent in a link to an upload of the relevant files in case a future version of makemkv can handle this title.

Re: Life is Sweet UK bluray - huge number main title playlists

yes, makemkv is picking up my Java installation. Without the path specified in the Protection tab makemkv picks it up, I also set it manually and same result, I do notice that makemkv seems to hang for a while, and then eventually gives me an extremely long list of playlists with nothing that points...

Re: Life is Sweet UK bluray - huge number main title playlists

just to add to this, I have Java installed and VLC integration. VLC shows the disc menu instantly and I'm all set to play the main title, yet on the same machine makemkv seems to be terribly confused. Looking at the number of playlist posts on the forum, is fake playlist management something that's ...

Life is Sweet UK bluray - huge number main title playlists

just opened the UK bluray release of the Mike Leigh film "Life is Sweet" with 1.17.4 on Win 10, there is a bit of a delay as makemkv trys to work through BD+ processing, then eventually I get a very long list of main title playlists. Similar behaviour with 1.17.3 on macOS. Any suggestions ...

Re: Superman 2 3 Dumps

The pre-release posts I've seen report Dolby Vision, no sign of this on the UK release of Superman 2?

Re: Playback full quality UHD MKVs

Also the Vero 4K+, does HDR10+ and full HD audio pass through.

Re: How do you watch MKV files that have an ATMOS track?

In my tests Panasonic UHD and Blu-ray players have no support for any HD audio in mkv files. Last time I checked there was no 24p output either. Support for mkv files is very poor. I mainly use devices running Kodi to play my mkv files, and get full pass through of HD audio, eg from a Vero or a Shie...

Re: Possible issue with aspect ratio on anamorphic NTSC DVDs

I've also run ffprobe against various mkvs, some very old and some new, and am also seeing a potential oddity in the metadata for 16:9 NTSC DVD mkv files created by makemkv. 4:3 NTSC and PAL DVDs don't have this issue based on the files I've checked so far.

Re: No Forced Subtitles on The Bourne Identity, Captain America (Winter Soldier, Civil War)

as has been mentioned, there is no standard here, and some work to find out where the forced subs are will typically be needed. Of the Marvel films with forced subs, all that I can recall have them in a dedicated track that your disc player will default to after you've gone through the opening menus...

Re: How to rip audio only

When I’ve wanted to save audio only I’ve ripped with makemkv and then pushed the mkv through mkvtoolnix to drop the video and split by all chapters, creating a set of mka files. I’ve then processed these downstream using gMKVExtractGUI to convert to wav, then converted to FLAC. Might be an easier me...

Re: Direct Blu-ray playback with VLC player NOT WORKING Ventura

I acquired my first Mac over the holidays and have been evaluating to see if I would consider a Mac desktop as a "daily driver" in place of Windows. I too had a lot of trouble to get the makemkv App Management approval to stick in Ventura, every time I enabled it, it would spontaneously di...
