srt in TSmuxeR and couldn't get past the notorious 'Error 254 Can't Find TTF font for Font A' warning. And let's just say that I tried muxing the original ripped MakeMKV file with a separate.

All good.īut let's just say that now I want to go back and make a back-up of (or actually replace) my original blu-ray with another blu-ray, this one including my burned-in English subs.

srt file via Handbrake, and now I've got a pristene digital copy of my original movie w/subs as a back-up. So, through the help of the fine folks here, I ripped the film with MakeMKV and burned in an. Heck, back then I didn't write everything as a 'blog post'-that was labeled as an 'article' :P It's been more than a decade since I wrote Ripping Movies from Blu-Ray, HD-DVD and DVD, Getting them onto Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, etc.Just bought a 4k remastered blu-ray of CYRANO DE BERGERAC in French, but learned on receiving that it contains no English subs. And in many cases, older movies can only be found as used and/or pirated DVDs on eBay! In a surprising twist of fate, we went from a somewhat more centralized online media situation back then (basically, Netflix) to a hellscape of dozens of streaming services today. Thus, I'm writing a fresh guide to how I rip DVDs and Blu-Ray discs into my Mac, then transcode them with Handbrake. Heck, some people who are deeper into the r/datahoarder rabbit hole even have dedicated transcoding servers so they can generate optimal archival copies in 4K, 1080p, etc. Rip the physical disc's main title (usually the longest) to an MKV file using MakeMKV.akin to how YouTube and other online platforms set up their files! (I bought a license years ago, since I use it so darn much, but it's also shareware that can be used for free.)

Copy the file to my NAS's Media directory.Īfter that last step, Jellyfin automatically scans the new movie and adds it to my library.
