Forced subtitles are usually handled two ways: Separate track (most often). Main subtitle track, with FORCED flag set (not very often, but Avatar uses it, amongst others). Star Trek movies use... different means. Klingon audio is often simply inserted in the video, and "subtitles" appear w...

Does the offset change when you rip again, or always at the same spot? Same spot usually means a disk error. Moving around often means the drive runs out of power trying to spin that fast, which is a different error, which means you need to limit how fast the drive can go, or give it more power. Thi...

Handbrake tries to find forced subtitle tracks by simply counting the # of subtitles... A track with 10% or less of other tracks in the same language is "most likely" forced. But that does not always work, and it doesn't do the counting until it starts encoding, so... not a great option if...

Debug log did not attach, because of limitations in the software here. Try putting the log between [ code ][ /code ] tags (without the spaces) in your message, if it's less than 64K in size.

That's a Pioneer drive, which should NOT be updated with "modern" (from Pioneer) firmware, due to their anti-piracy stance. But, I'll let others go into the details on that.

The BW-16D1H-U Pro has different hardware depending on when it was built. Older ones do not do UHD, newer ones can (with firmware updates).

What does MakeMKV show for your drive information?

As for why you cannot upload... MakeMKV is hosted with limited upload capability. Unfortunately, we hit that limit about a year or so back, and no one seems to want to clean up old uploads. I haven't had time to go and do that. It's been a decade since I had to clean up a forum that way, so my mind ...

From your log, it looks like you are trying to rip a Lionsgate title, with the pieces of the movie spread out among dozens of titles. Only one is correct. When MakeMKV lists the titles to select which ones to rip, are there notes next to them about "Main title" and such? What disk are you ...

Snapshots would not do any good, in any case. Yes, there is a size limit for messages of about 65K, so each of those files exceed what a message contains. However, the key is getting around your system's blocking the download. It really only has to happen when you are ripping a disk that isn't in yo...

When you start MakeMKV, are you being asked which drive this particular copy will listen to? If not, bring up the properties, and on the IO tab, click "As for single drive mode". Then, assign each copy of MakeMKV you run to one of your drives. (edited to add, you must restart MakeMKV after...

I have no idea what Mike may have thought about you, but I have not seen him make such judgments in the past.

There should be no reason to pay again, but Mike will have to be the one who re-sends the key. I'm not even in the same country as he is.

Some information on error messages you're receiving would help.

DVD is limited to PAL and NTSC standards, so those are going to limit you to 525/480 lines of video. The BBC broadcast in PAL, so getting an NTSC disk from them already means their video has been modified. To some extent, that carries over to Bluray, although the video is manipulated quite a bit to ...
