|

|
Hello, this is archer 72 for hacker public radio.
|
||
|
|
In this episode, I would like to leave myself a reminder of how to fix a problem I had
|
||
|
|
before I had upgraded an NVMe drive and then I hadn't used MKV in a while, so I had to look
|
||
|
|
up the solution again.
|
||
|
|
I'm using version 1.18.2 as of this podcast.
|
||
|
|
Before coming to the conclusion that I did, I did a couple of troubleshooting steps.
|
||
|
|
One was to try a different drive, which was a much-eated drive, it was a pretty common drive
|
||
|
|
that you can get on eBay for about $20, and it did work with a Blu-ray without hanging
|
||
|
|
up the problem I ran into was a set of Blu-ray drive from HP, where it would start looking
|
||
|
|
like it was loading the disk and just hung there and stalled.
|
||
|
|
I read a couple of forums, and I checked the, what I thought was the fault disk with handbrake
|
||
|
|
and it read it just fine, and then I also checked to see if there was enough power and there
|
||
|
|
was because I was using it an adapter to provide 12 volts.
|
||
|
|
As of this recording on January 22nd, 2026, I needed to revert to version 1.17.7 to successfully
|
||
|
|
rip an MKV, because that was the one where it finally loaded up, and I will leave links in the
|
||
|
|
show notes of where I, in which form I found this information about the older release,
|
||
|
|
and also the repo where I would find it, and then links to the very specific ones of
|
||
|
|
1.17.7, the specific two files that need to be installed to make this work.
|
||
|
|
To install this version, you will have to go into the MKV-OSS directory and perform a dot slash
|
||
|
|
configure first, and then a make, and then a pseudo-making stall, and then go back into
|
||
|
|
the previous directory and go to make MKV-bin, and then perform make, and then pseudo-making stall,
|
||
|
|
and then the program will function as expected. I hope this tip helps somebody else to
|
||
|
|
and if you're interested in what I am recording this on, it is a Zoom H1 essential,
|
||
|
|
and I'm monitoring the recording with a sound core, open air earbud.
