It's a bit more complicated than that. Let's unpack all this so you have a better understanding of the process and what, if anything, you can do to protect yourself. Your premise is correct...once a drive "sees" an MKB v82 disc, the MKB is written to the drive as an update. That means all...

just use ddrescue to create an iso. With libredrive compatible drives, just let makemkv initialize it to libredrive state and you will get a non bus encrypted iso. At this point, if you start a regular encrypted disc backup (to get it to dump the encryption info to the backup dir), you an then abort...

it also doesn't support disc backups for regular DVDs, only supports making MKVs

That used to be the case, but modern versions of MakeMKV will now create a .iso backup of a DVD if the backup icon is clicked.

ah, interesting. shows how long its been since I used MakeMKV on DVDs.

For suggestion 2, try right-clicking on the left-side menu, and select "Unselect all". For suggestion 1, the title length is available in the "Info" section, under "Title information". It isn't part of the left-hand menu, because it's from reading a different portion o...

Doesn't MakeMKV support de-crypted Disc Backups of HD-DVDs? The Backup button is greyed out if I insert an HD-DVD (tested with several discs). Since MakeMKV still has an issue with HD-DVD subtitles (https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1905) you need the de-crypted backup to extract them...

i would love an option within makemkv where we could read the errored sectors from a secondary medium, say i have 2 identical dvds / brs / 4k etc, but they have both been damaged in seperate ways, neither will rip on its own, however, the read errors occur on a different sector so if i can somehow ...

you want ddrescue to image the DVD (perhaps with needing libdvdcss to authenticate drive to disc), one can then generally brute force decrupt the CSS protected DVD (dvd decrypter can do this with proper settings). (generally, as small VOBs can't be decrypted, but they are generally not needed to be ...

one doesn't need an enclosure for a 5.25" drive. there's a usb->sata cables (with external power) that work with optical drives (though note, not all do, some just provide a hdd interface). can just connect it as needed (or leave always connected, but I haven't tried that. In general an optical...

makemkv doesn't remove java protections (or hdmv region coding), so if the disc has java protections, it likely wont work if one just burns it to an ISO.

i believe the reasoning is due to the order of the files in the directory. When reading a disc directly, you get the files ordered as they are on the UDF file system that is the bluray. When you work from a backup, you are getting the files in whatever order your system's filesystem provides them yo...

old thread, but for libredrive compatible drives, one can have makemkv running, insert a disc, libredrive will be inserted and then do a raw copy of the disc. As libredrive prevents bus encryption from occuring. This is useful if one wants to make a playable ISO and there are java protections, anydv...

Old thread, but there will never be a 4K UHD Bluray 48fps hobbit release, as the 4k standard does not allow 48fps content. If a future standard would, it be incompatible with all existing drives and players.

as the subject says, if one selects 1 or more subtitles, makemkv sets the first one in its order (per priority) with the default flag set on it. This means that players that respect the default flag (say vlc) will automatically display it and require the user to disable it if they don't want the to ...

just use ddrescue with the drive that can read it. and let it run continiously till you see that for days it cant copy any new data. i.e. 1) insert disc 2) run makemkv to insert libredrive to disable bus encruption. 3) image with ddrescue. when you get 100% data copied, can do the disc discatt.dat t...

while makemkv could include it, its not fully in scope of what makemkv is. a preview expands the scope, and while it might be useful, the author might not want to spend his time on it.

it's as simple as that.
