Re: Recommendation for BlueRay External DVD ROM

I looked for the BDR-XD08TB and they are priced around $120. I'm just not in the position to pay that much. I also search for the other older model but it appears to be no longer manufactured. Found it on eBay but it was for $170.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Re: Recommendation for BlueRay External DVD ROM

Hi. Thanks for sharing the info about the BDRs. It is a bit pricey for me and I don't live in Australia. I live in the U.S. I usually shop on Amazon, but there are so many BlueRay DVD/CD units listed in their store and I am not sure which one is the right one for me that will work with MakeMKV. So, ...

Re: One Corrupted Disc of Band of Brothers Set

I didn't mention this before, but I guess I would need a Blue-ray dvd player on my computer in order to read it, right? I only have a standard cd-rom.

Re: One Corrupted Disc of Band of Brothers Set

Hi. Thank you for taking time to answer my posts. I did a full rip and it appears to be just that VTS_1_1.VOB file. Not sure why the two I mentioned didn't work when I tried to copy it over to my hard drive. My log is below but I have a question: Is it possible to rip the Blue-ray files if I were to...

Re: One Corrupted Disc of Band of Brothers Set

In regard to error log for MakeMKV, no. They are different and I'm not sure why that is. Any thoughts?

Re: One Corrupted Disc of Band of Brothers Set

I tried as you suggested with no success. I tried copying the files from the disc to my harddrive and two of the files did not copy over as it was not readable or is corrupted. The following two files that did not copy over are: VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB I guess I am going to have to buy another set...

Re: Dad's Army Season 5 Disc 2 Title 3

I have a similar error with the first disc of Band of Brothers. The other 5 disc (including special feature disc) were ripped just fine with no issue. It's just that one disc. I could not see any kind of blemishes that might have caused it.

I hope someone can shed some light on this.

Re: Pearl Harbor 2-Disc Question

I ripped both angles and did about 10 minutes of viewing for each one. I haven't noticed anything yet. They may be very subtle for me to notice. If I do find something that is quite obvious, I will try to mark the time where it happens.
Thank you.

Re: Disc not Displaying Widescreen

That disc was bought in 1997 and so I wonder if that might be processing old deprecated format?? I don't know much about the specs for these dvds but I did find another one that states it's widescreen but when I ripped it it end up as 4:3. The difference with this one versus the 'Firm' disc is that ...

Re: Disc not Displaying Widescreen

I was able to resolve the issue. I used the MKVToolNix to set the aspect ratio to which took the 'squished' ripped version of the movie from 4:3 to appear as 16:9. It's now displaying as perfectly.

Disc not Displaying Widescreen

I have movie called The Firm starring Tom Cruise. It states on the box and on the disc that it is a widescreen format. I have done over 80 discs that have widescreen format and had no issues. However, the Firm disc is squishing the left/right screen into what appears as a 4:3 format. I have ripped t...
