Why would Voyager need 1GB of storage???

This is like giving Hitler a thumbs up because you saw him lean down and pet a stray dog…

That can be solved by opening the disc using VLC when makemkv is scanning. VLC will free up the lock.

I’ve been wrestling with something similar for a week lol.

There’s a thread about the error on the makemkv forums. And I’ve personally salvaged discs this way only yesterday.

Also, makemkv can open a DVD as a raw data file. Mine were old TV shows so I was able to pull the individual episodes avoiding the errors or at least getting some if one was corrupt. I saved an additional 3 discs this way.

One last method if you can set the speed of the drive to 1x; rip slow and set lots of retries (5) to maybe give it a slightly better chance. 1x was always the most reliable. Any speed over and you have mixed results.

Lastly, there’s a list on the net about best drives. If you really care and want to throw $100 at it, pick one up. The drives for $20 you find on Amazon won’t read anything a few years old. Theirs lasers are garbage compared to ones manufactured 10+ years ago.

There I fucked up your entire codebase.

Installed Linux first year of Uni. Made themes and graphics for KDE (they even rolled some upstream). Then moved to GNOME and made lots of GTK themes and OS assets. Still have my name on GIMP’s list of contributors.

The cool thing about open source is you can just jump right in.

Do it mf. DO IT!!!!!

Yeah this. Last cable had fray was nearly 20 years ago and it was cheap junk, known to buckle under use. But these days, even $5 cables from 7/11 are quite decent.

I guess stop trying to hang elephants with them? 🤷‍♂️

Windows 2000 🫶

Decades.

No company will. Apple is the same. 5GB base. But for just $1, you get 50!

It’s a nice bit of reoccurring revenue for big tech right now. No one is getting rid of it. Not in this economic climate.

Because the entire internet is one big Amazon link back. I’m not even joking. Ran DDG earlier on a dvd burner model and the first two pages were Amazon links. The next were other competing stores. WTF.

But I mean we gated it all behind like 3 companies. Can’t believe it didn’t turn out good.

Rushed, that’s just how they roll lol

I’d prefer not to lump the stupid with the smart. If people are stupid enough to install willy nilly that’s on them.

I’d prefer the choice.

Also, smh for thinking every app out there is some nefarious bit of code.

How are you finding Air in comparison?

TL;DR: yes.

I love the entire process. I love that I can send them cash in an envelope with an account number on it and they'll just top it up lol. I wish every online retailer had to do what they voluntarily do.

My guess is Apple has already bought out most states if it gets to that. So you'll get a few that will squabble and just get nothing done.

Hope I'm wrong.
