Re: Multiple Output file choices

No. Depending on whether it's a DVD or a Bluray, you need to determine the correct Title or Playlist. You can use VLC to determine the correct Title for a DVD, but I'm not sure it would work for a Bluray. For Blurays you could try using BDInfo to make a report and see what it thinks the correct play...

Re: Feature Request: Contact Online Database for Movie Info

Of course it's possible. Something like CDDB.

Re: Chasing Amy

If you scan the file with MediaInfo, what is the video codec(you can paste the whole video section if you aren't sure)?

Re: To Compress or not to compress?

I transcode and most of the time I can't see any issue.

If I had a 12TB setup, I wouldn't bother.

Re: how to change the pixel height and width of mkv?

Re-rip the movie and when you transcode it, disable the cropping. You will get no benefit and will waste space but you will have a 1920 by 1080 file.

This forum is not for the general support of the Matroska container format, but is for the application MakeMKV.

Re: Now You See Me jumps all over the place

This is not a new kind of copy protection, and studios have been using it for sometime. Do a back up and then compare the playlists against the actual video streams. When you find the one that is the right one, you can use MakeMKV to rip that one. If you're using Windows, I've heard that AnyDVD HD c...

Re: Can these settings be changed?

You can use the Header Editor in mkvtoolnix and change the display properties.

Re: Aspect Ratio is always 16:9

If it isn't a feature of the Matroska container, then you are better off taking this up with the Matroska people rather than a software company that uses that container.

Re: Aspect Ratio is always 16:9

That would be because all of the HD content on a bluray is 16 by 9.

You could try messing around with the settings in mkvtoolnix, but I think that will just end up ruining your content when you play it back.

Re: Question about Blu-Rays and Titles

I would venture to guess that MakeMKV is ripping every program, which includes a "Play All" program which will give you all the main titles together. As for the two nearly identical titles, that would be it. Something like Disney content, where there are multiple versions of each movie wit...

Re: Illegal Request: Media Region Code

There are no region codes in the Matroska specification that I am aware of.

As far as I know, as Woodstock said, some drives really do their best to enforce region codes.

Re: Not Finding Files

What OS is your computer using?

What package did you use to make the Bluray?

Re: Makemkv only using one cpu

You're coping media from a slow device to a faster device.

Why would you need to use more than one core? Your optical drive won't read the media any faster if all your cores are used, or just one of your cores are used.
