Ah, I guess so. I must be mistaken, because I thought that mkv files don’t contain menus. (I haven’t been at this for very long). We don’t even know that he has your mkv files anyway, since he said “njvc’s mkv files”, and I don’t know that those even exist. No idea what files he’s actually working with.
Was blown way by njvc’s SW v2.7 release (MKV) and downloaded in hopes that burning this may be an easy task on a Mac.
Why on god’s earth is the menu never included in any of my 2.7 burns?
.mkv Files don’t have menus. njvc’s releases are .iso files, ready to burn with menus. If you are calling something “njvc’s .mkv files”, you are most likely trying to burn Harmy’s .mkv files on bluray, not njvc’s .iso files.
myspleen invite request thread
I thought that thread was defunct. Am I thinking of another one? Are you talking about the one on Myspleen Forums? The invite thread on there has a notice:
UPDATE: Recruitment on this forum CLOSED for good. Look elsewhere.
I’ll see if a little more information helps. My TV is 1080. As far as different color setting or “game mode”, those can’t be the issue, because all I have to do is change the resolution to 720 and it looks great again. When I change the resolution in the PS4 main settings, of course it affects everything, so instead I looked in the Bluray app settings, and found one called “Output at 1080p/24 Hz”. By default it is set to “Automatic” which looks bad again, but when I choose the only other option which is “Off”, it looks great.
It definitely does affect the color though, or at least how it’s being perceived by me. I would describe it as when you turn up the gamma on a photo. It’s not unwatchable, but pretty noticeable when you’re used to seeing your beautiful color work the way it’s supposed to be.
So maybe it is an issue with the PS4 upscaling, but I don’t really know how that works, or why no one else would be talking about it if it is an issue.
If you do pull this stuff out to take a look, would you mess with the option when you hit “Options” while the disk is playing, Settings> Video Playback Settings> Output at 1080p/24 Hz = “AUTOMATIC” or “OFF”, just to see if there’s something there that strikes a chord?
At this point I’m more curious than anything, because I have at least found a setting that works, but I’d be interested in seeing if this is an issue in anyone else’s player.
Did you create an .iso disk image, or just put the files as-is on the disk?
I’ve really enjoyed these since I downloaded them and burned them, but I’ve had some developments with the playback that I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on.
I played back the first disk that I burned successfully, and it looked great. I used my less than a year old samsung tv, hooked to my PC via HDMI. I used VLC and played the disk in my PC’s Bluyray drive. All good. Then I put the same disk in my PS4, and it looked pretty bad. Lots of noise, and the colors were garish. Same disk, same TV.
Digging around, I finally looked at the resolution, and saw that my PS4 resolution was set to “automatic”. I figured that would be OK, but when I manually changed it to 720p, the picture was perfect. So I guess playing 720p media at 1080p looks bad, and that’s what my PS4 was doing?
So what I’m wondering is whether or not there is something on disks themselves that is supposed to tell the PS4 what resolution it should output at, or if it’s just determined by the TV it’s hooked to. Does the PS4 (and other stand-alone players) just assume that any bluray will be 1080p? I’ve got this to where I’m watching them fine, but I’m curious how much tinkering they will take to look good if I try to take them over to someone’s house to play or something.
Any thoughts on this from you guys would be an education for me. I’ve learned a ton through the burning process so far, and anything else you guys can add would be much appreciated!
I bought a Bluray burner and burned one of the njvc .iso files that I got off myspleen. I used ImgBurn and had “Verify” checked, and during the verify process, got a ton of “Miscompare at LBA” errors.
Anyone know what the “Miscompare at LBA” errors mean, and if they will matter in the long run?
Just an update incase anyone else is having a similar issue. I don’t know exactly what it is that was interfering with the burning, but I did finally get to where I could burn perfect disks by booting Windows in Safe Mode and burning them there. Out of Safe Mode all I was making were coasters, but in Safe Mode they are verifying perfectly every time.
For reference, the disks are Optical Quantums (which I hear now might kind of suck) and the burner is an LG WH14NS40, firmware version 1.02.
She is in a stable condition, report comes from her brother.
Sadly, it seems that is not the case:
He also addressed an earlier comment attributed to him, in which he was alleged to have said his sister was in “stable condition.”
“I don’t know where they got that word from. That is absolutely not even close to the truth. We don’t know. We hope for the best. We certainly do not know her condition, that’s why she is in ICU. I’m sure everyone wants to speculate but now is not the time for that.”

Oh, I didn’t even think of the brand as being a problem. They’re Optical Quantum.
Is that bad?
I bought a Bluray burner and burned one of the njvc .iso files that I got off myspleen. I used ImgBurn and had “Verify” checked, and during the verify process, got a ton of “Miscompare at LBA” errors.
I eventually aborted the verify process and let the disc eject, but the disc I burned seems to work flawlessly in my PS4. I’m burning a set for a friend for Christmas, and I would like to make sure I’m sending him something that will work in his stand-alone bluray player as well.
Anyone know what the “Miscompare at LBA” errors mean, and if they will matter in the long run? Google seems to be split, with many people telling me to ignore them, and others saying the disc wont last long.
Any advice, or a place I should look for some? Thanks!
I think an image editor is your best bet. paint over the text you don’t like.
That’s what I ended up doing, thanks! I had just wondered if someone had done something spiffy already. I just don’t have access to 50gb disks before Christmas, and the cases I have only hold one disk a piece, so I wanted the cases to match what was in them. It all worked out though!
It’s not down, just somewhat overloaded. If you try back in a few minutes, or on off-peak times you seem to get through.
I have a question for you guys about the artwork. I really love the artwork pack, but I was wondering if there is a modified version available that would suit my needs. I’m giving a copy of each of the three 25GB Film only versions to my brother for Christmas, but the added special features disk would be a waste on him, as I know he wont watch them. I just noticed that the artwork has the Special Features listed on the back cover, and since I am not including those features in this set, I was wondering if there is a version that doesn’t list them.
I know it’s an odd request, so don’t worry about it if it’s a hassel to find. I’ll figure something out, but I do love the artwork you guys have presented, so it would be ideal.
Thanks!
Dunno what you’re talking about since I just, like right this minute, logged into myspleen.
I think he may have meant his particular account.
