convert iTunes, Amazon, Netflix, etc. streams to DRM-freeMKV

Is there a way that MakeMKV can convert streams and downloads to DRM-free MKV files? That would make a terrific app a Killer App! ;-)

Re: What is the best media player for MKV and 3D rips?

There does seem to be a small Popcorn following, but even they admit that it's been very buggy. Two things I *really* like about the Boxee Box: The remote control is the best ever! QWERTY keyboard on the back, and it's RADIO, not IR, meaning no BS line-of-sight required. :-) It plays EVERY format fi...

Re: Bond 50 - Die Another Day - Which angle?

I'm doing the same thing--it's a LOT of ripping, not to mention wear and tear on the blu-ray drive. It's too bad there isn't some way to pop in the disc, and check the 'net to see if someone else has already ripped it, and just share and share alike. :-)

What is the best media player for MKV and 3D rips?

I've been pretty happy with D-Link's Boxee Box (particularly the RF--not IR--remote control with the QWERTY keyboard! notwithstanding some really annoying "features" like crashing and audio dropouts and losing connection to AFP shares.... :-/) but I'm discovering that 1) I didn't properly ...

Re: DTS-Lossless usually unchecked?

Ok, so I found http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4386 but I'm not sure what to put into the configuration line under Advanced to turn on: 1) Always select the HD audio (and NOT AC3/stereo/etc if they're in the HD stream) 2) Always select the Original Language audio (in HD if ava...

Re: 3D Blurays

Sweet! Now, where is this 3D tick box? I have to go back and re-rip a few discs. :-)

Bummer that there does not appear to be some trick to playing back the resulting files via Boxee. It looks like something like this http://www.amazon.com/iconBIT-XDS1003D- ... 005O29F1O/ will be required.

Re: v1.8.0 not working properly

Mac OSX 10.8.2
DASPI v1.3 is installed (I even RE-installed it just to be sure)
MakeMKV 1.8.0

My screenshots would have looked pretty much the same as above but I'm now back to MakeMKV v1.7.10 darwin(x86-release) and working fine.

Re: v1.8.0 not working properly

Same here. Blu-Ray discs show up as DATA only, and won't even progress to the track selection phase.
Restored to 1.7.10 and all is well. Whew! :-)

Re: site down (hacked?), and spam

It would be nice to have some way of contacting Mike should the domain makemkv.com vanish again. Is there a gmail address, or something?

Re: I would like to buy a license, but not through Avangate

Just wait until you actually (try to) complete a transaction with Avangate. Boy howdy, it's a nightmare! They'll claim "Something isn't quite right. Please send your full name, physical home address, SSN, DOB, thumbprint, iris and retina scan, and DNA sample to complete your transaction." ...

site down (hacked?), and spam

So, what happened to makemkv.com over the past few days?

Who is this idiot Ada078 spamming our forum with "corset" crap, and can we delete all the spam, please?

Glad makemkv.com is back! Whew. :-)

Hooray! makemkv.com is back! :-)


I had this problem with "Vicky, Christina, Barcelona" blu-ray, and I recall it being a VC-1 problem, not a makemkv problem.

Great ideas, thanks! Now, if only I knew HOW to use such things....
