• Beta Key?

  Just re-download the install package from makemkv.com and run it, it will ask to remove old install then allow you to reinstall then the key resets. (do this until the new key is released). Then down the road if you like it you can always get the paid lifetime license. Source: 5 months ago

• It is important that ebooks be sold without DRM

  If you haven’t already, you should check out MakeMKV. You can buy it or use it free with the beta keys, and it should solve your problem. https://makemkv.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Need help from someone smarter than myself

  You’ll need a Blu-ray or UHD Friendly Blu-ray drive. Visit https://makemkv.com https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/ to learn more about it as they can explain it better. Also there is lots of support on YouTube: the is Lon.TV, He makes an entire series on PleX https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCZHp4d1HnIvqJPAmMooCKOHieLdi3I7o. Source: 12 months ago

• I'm looking for software that I can use to categorise my audiobook and DVD rips.

  Or you could use Makemkv and Extract audio coppy. Source: about 1 year ago

• Completely new to this...please go easy. I want to be able to play my music and movie collection throughout my home and have a few questions to get me going.

  Plex doesn't support disc image formats like ISO, so you would have to extract the video itself before Plex could read them (e.g. With MakeMKV). Source: about 1 year ago

• What’s better for ripping DVDs than Handbrake?

  VidCoder (Here) is my go to app, it uses handbreak as its encoder but has much better handling of real discs. Source: about 1 year ago

• Virtualizing, colored log window in WPF

  A user recently reported that VidCoder would hang in the middle of a long encode. After dusting off WinDbg and some !clrstack and !eestack I found a thread in garbage collection for FlowDocument. We use this in only one place, the log window. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Best free video format converter in 2023?

  VidCoder uses Handbrake's engine and is very simple to use. Source: about 1 year ago

• The Last Resort

  If you need a specific size, which is why I guess one of the few reasons you’d want a constant bitrate, use vidcoder, which is just a reskinned handbrake with a target size option. For compression, I’d encode with H.265 or AV1 depending on what hardware you need it for, assuming you do need it light. I would still pass through audio, unless you’re really in a pinch.

• Any better alternatives to Wondershare Converter Factory?

  VidCoder is a different frontend for HandBrake with a more Metro-styled UX, and can be a bit easier to use for some workflows. Source: over 1 year ago
