That did not work for me. Whenever I select Handbrake, I get a notification that makemkv was blocked and the item in Application Management is switched off. I tried adding it while the root-launched application was still running and also after a quit and relaunch. The Application Management switch a...

My second Aliens UHD came and it also has read errors and won't RIP. I decided to try slowing down the drive to see if that would help. It didn't. So I set the speed settings to "0-99" and gave up. Yesterday, before I sent it back to amazon, created an encrypted backup (in case the third A...

I am using macOS. I will give that a try on my old Windows machine.

Thanks for the help.

I tried that. I made an iso of the encrypted folder and mounted it. But MakeMKV would not see it as a disk. I was able to open the discatt.dat and extract the movie, but there does not appear to be a way to create a backup of it.

I have successfully created an encrypted backup of a damaged UHD disc. The backup contains a working discatt.dat file and I am able to use MakeMKV to extract the videos.

Is there a way to create an unencrypted backup from this encrypted backup that I can turn into an .iso?

If I have 2 identical discs that both have errors on them (presumably not the same errors) can I do step 2 with the second disc? Also, I am doing this on macOS and the -d option in step 2 is saying "Direct disc access not available." even though I blessed it with makemkvcon first. If I dro...

True Lies arrived and the backup worked fine. Unfortunately, the dovi tools seem to be having an issue with the file, but that's a different thread. Edit: Weird. Same ripped file, tools and procedure worked fine the second time with dovi 7 to 8 conversion. I know what we are watching tomorrow night!...

Just received Aliens 4K today from Amazon and I can't do anything with it due to read errors. Tried both backups and a direct rip of both versions, but no luck. I tried cleaning the disc but I am still getting read errors and I don't have a player to test it. Such a let down. UHD Drive is a new LG W...

In case anyone else is trying to work this out, I pieced together this workflow from various forum posts. It seems to be working well (so far). If anyone sees any errors, or has any suggestions on how to improve it, please post a reply. Hardware: - MacStudio M1 - LG UHD R/W (USB3) - External SSD for...

I am trying to create a workflow for UHD DV disks and use the hardware accelerated encoder (VideoToolbox). Can I... RIP UHD with DV7 -> Extract DV7 to file -> Compress with VideoToolbox (10-bit) -> remux DV7 Also, I would need to convert DV7 to DV8 as well and would like to know the best place to ad...

I just upgraded to a Mac with M1 Ultra and I am also getting this popup. Privacy settings are already set to allow access to "Removable Volumes" (and Documents Folder) but the pop-up happens with each disk RIP. privacy_filesandfolders_setting.png The destination folder for the RIP is on th...

I just purchased an LG bare drive from Bluntman and it is working great. He was very helpful and the process was very easy.
