Re: Stargate Atlantis Disc 1 Errors when opening and ripping

Clean the disks. They may look clean, but they need cleaned. Your drive is having trouble reading them.

Re: Do I need to change my firmware?

What it is reading isn't different, so firmware change doesn't help anything. What is possible is that the lens is getting dirty, or the mechanism is getting inaccurate, which firmware won't help. Cleaning the lens assembly is probably the biggest issue, but that's mostly when it stops reading ANY d...

Re: Do I need to change my firmware?

Question 1: Is it working?
Question 2: There really isn't a question 2.

If it is working, why update?

"Help" in what way? You're replying to a message about supplying a dump file for that title, not that he's ripped it.

Re: His Girl Friday .tgz

Did you submit a .tgz file, generated by MakeMKV, to svq@makemkv.com , so that a key can be created for it?

It is very difficult to tell from your post.

Re: UHD VID inside discatt.dat and discattd.dat

The files are used for MakeMKV to track information it needs for processing the disk. They aren't likely to "be" anything else.

They're created for the Windows version as well. Probably the Mac version too.

Re: Two Suggestions...

For suggestion 2, try right-clicking on the left-side menu, and select "Unselect all". For suggestion 1, the title length is available in the "Info" section, under "Title information". It isn't part of the left-hand menu, because it's from reading a different portion of...

Re: "The Menu" Deliberate Bad Blocks... [SOLVED]

No, MakeMKV will always try to give a complete copy of the files. If there are errors, the copy will be rejected.

If you are tolerant of errors, then cleaning the disk to remove the errors is probably your best bet.

Re: Default Subtitle Language Not Changing

MakeMKV isn't intended for working on "downloaded files". It's intended for working with DISKS.

Re: James Bond - Casino Royale, Spectre, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall

Depends on why it failed. If it has trouble reading the disk, cleaning it is the first step.

Re: The ring 4k trilogy

And you submitted the .tgz files for them to be processed? If so, listing the file names would be helpful, so that people would know which versions are "in process".

Re: Problem with Paprika 4k UHD

Ah, no reply is standard for sending the TGZ files. Mike responds by making the rip work, but that's sometimes a week or so later (it happens). In the future, when you do an upload, it's recommended that you check it's not already "in process" (looking on the message board), and posting a ...

Re: Problem with Paprika 4k UHD

Not knowing what error you are receiving, it is rather difficult to say how to fix. It could be as simple as a dirty disk.

Re: LG WH14NS40 2012-05-15

Your drive was built a full 3 years before the spec for UHD was finalized, so UHD is out of the question. It's also using the wrong chipset for updating beyond regular BDs (MT1939), so it's best to simply leave that drive to doing simple stuff. Now the search begins for the "perfect UHD drive&q...
