Re: New Intel Chips

To confirm, the new Intel CPUs work well with MakeMKV, correct?

Re: Decryption On The Fly

Just tried this out, MPC-BE plays back 4K discs, but without the menu. It jumps straight to the movie. Any way to enable the menu?

Anyone know the correct playlist for the Amazon Canada BD? UPC is 7-7421211312-3.
Had to do a re-rip. For anyone interested, it looks like "The Last Witch Hunter_secondrip_t108.mkv" (00350.mpls) is the correct playlist for this one.

I have 5 x 8TB HDDs. All of my blurays are re-encoded with Handbrake (I'm now re-encoding w/ H265 @ 10-bit which provides superior quality with reduced banding, and re-encode all non-Atmos and non-DTS:X audio tracks using AAC at high quality), so my average file is between 5GB - 8GB per movie. I also rip all of my 4K blurays, most are 1:1 copies, but sometimes I use Handbrake to re-encode titles to get them down from 50-80GB to 15-25 GB without any perceptual difference in video quality.

I have about 1300 movies (350+ are 4K) and still room for more.

Holy crap, that must take a seriously long time to encode! Curious what your PC setup is like, you'd need something like the Threadripper CPU to crush through those 4k files. I have a 5950X and am able to get a 4k file done in Handbrake anywhere between 1 to 4 hours. I wouldn't be doing it if it took any longer.
I only have a 3900X, so it's slightly longer. I bet a 5950X cuts through it like butter! 😀

Re: Is ripping 4K Blu Rays Practical?

I tried nVidia GPU encoding, but didn't like the quality it was giving me. It also doesn't do 10bit, only 8bit iirc.

Re: Dump Submitted for Quantum of Solace 4K (Canada)

There must be multiple keys for Quantum of Solace 4K. I saw in other threads that some worked, others didn't. The 4K for the dump I submitted was purchased from Amazon Canada.
