Re: Flac discrepancies

This is a bug :( Please share the following: - full MakeMKV conversion log, when using flac profile (i.e. log file written by MakeMKV, should contain additional information). The conversion log - the extracted dtshd.dtshd from default profile. The resulting file is ~4GB which is larger than dropbox...

Flac discrepancies

I have found that the directors cut on my Aliens bluray (part of the 4 volume anthology) causes makemkv to produce flac output that is inconsistent with eac3to and mmdtsdec. In addition, the makemkv waveform "looks wrong" at the point of discrepancy. For the makemkv flac, the procedure is ...

Re: mmdtsdec wav file limit?

I take it back. My problems with the on-the-fly flac conversion must have been solved in recent versions of makemkv. I have verified that the flac stream it produces is bit-for-bit identical to that of eac3to with the same dtsdecoderdll.dll using a 5.1 and a 7.1 sample. I'll keep checking and repost...

libmmbd

I'm pleased to hear about the progress on libmmbd announced here and described for Mac OS and Linux . I notice there aren't any specific instructions for windows, although the same idea seems to work: C:\Users\me>copy "C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\libmmbd.dll" "c:\Program Files (x86...

Re: mmdtsdec wav file limit?

I would be interested to see how the tcp socket method affects seekability. I've found that while the flac mkv generated by makemkv itself plays fine in vlc, the demuxed flac (using mkvextract) file can be kind of sketchy.

Re: mmdtsdec wav file limit?

It seems that mmdtsdec is only capable of outputting to a .wav file. No, it also can output to a localhost-bound TCP socket in a simple format that has no size limit. That's how it is used by MakeMKV. If you need it for a freeware tool then I'll gladly provide you with details and permission to fre...

Re: Two settings.conf questions

On windows this information is stored in registry. It is per-user. Why do you need to specify different settings for different runs? That's what I thought. And that's a good question. I don't currently have a specific need to do this. I'm just sussing out the capabilities of the command line program.

Re: Track selection with makemkvcon

Suggest the following addition to usage.txt : --profile=path_to_profile_xml_file Read ripping profile from file. This can be used to specify how various track types are handled (e.g., copy or compress). This file can also be used to specify which audio/video/subtitle tracks to keep or discard based ...

Two settings.conf questions

  • On linux I have the file ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf which contains all the settings saved by the GUI preferences manager. Where does this information go on Windows?
  • Can I specify alternate settings.conf to makemkvcon?

mmdtsdec wav file limit?

It seems that mmdtsdec is only capable of outputting to a .wav file. However, my understanding is that .wav has a size limit. Does the file output by mmdtsdec compensate for this in any way?

selecting attachments by default

I've been looking for a way to automatically select the attachments attachments. I found this post: http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6259 from mikeadmin which sounds discouraging. Is this still the case with the GUI? If so, is this something that could be done using the command...

Re: MakeMKV picks wrong LPCM codec-id

The problem here is that the matroska spec ( http://matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html ) does not specify a tolerable format for multichannel pcm. The "best of bad options" is "A_MS/ACM". Although this codec has the dubious association with Microsoft, and is "un...
