Re: MakeMKV not writing Dolby Vision

DV rips fine for me on Mint. I'd suggest building it yourself.

How are you verifying that the DV layer is present in the MKV?

Re: install makemkv on Debian without snap

Installation is covered in the pinned post here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224. I use those instructions for installing on Linux Mint and they work great.

What problems are you having trying to install?

Re: Speed Control Registry Key Missing

I'm not sure on Windows, but on Linux if start MakeMKV, open preferences and then close MakeMKV it creates the entry in the .MakeMKV.conf file. Maybe the same trick works to create the registry key?

Re: Getting MakeMKV Working with Guix

Normally MakeMKV saves the settings in $HOME/.MakeMKV/settings.conf

As a test, try creating that file with this line:

app_Key = "your_secret_key"

and see if it works. Or, just search your system for the .MakeMKV directory to find out where Guix thinks the users home is.

Re: IFO File Corrupt on Recorded DVD, and can't rip all titles

When opening my burned from DVD-Recorder disc, I'm getting a IFO corrupted error. Disc plays fine in VLC, and will rip everything for the 2nd title. However it only rips the video for the 1st title. Any ideas? If you recorded the disc yourself and didn't finalize it that could cause this error. You...

Re: UHD Drive won't read DVDs

I had this happen sometimes with my older LG drive in an enclosure. I never really worried about it as I just used the internal DVD drive when that happened. I later got a new PC and put the LG drive directly in the PC connected via SATA. DVD read problems went away! Later, I got a new ASUS UHD driv...

Re: Zack Snyder's Justice League (USA Retail Version)

I tried taking a microfiber cloth to it in between drive swaps too. It may need a better cleaning than just a cloth. Some dish soap or alcohol. Sometimes when I have this problem a simple wipe with a cloth takes care of it. Personally I have found that eyeglass wipes (several times on occasion) wor...

but it just keeps stopping (that is the say the progress bar stops & the time to complete gradually increases).
That sounds more like a disc problem. Either dirty or damaged. Try cleaning the disc.

Re: VLC Bluray playback with MakeMKV snap

It's the same. But the first build is the one where you have to install all of the dependencies, so it can be the difficult one to build. Once you've done it the first time, you now have everything you need to build new releases. So it's the same procedure minus installing dependencies.

Re: VLC Bluray playback with MakeMKV snap

I'm just trying to spend some effort now to avoid some later. Since the snap auto updates I only need to figure this out once instead of having to rebuild makemkv every time there's a release. Once you have built MakeMKV the first time, it's trivial to do it on a new release. It seems to me that th...
