What type of movie file do you have? Is it a .mkv? A .mp4? Something else?

It seems like OpenedFilesView ( https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/opened_files_view.html ) is a Windows program. MetalDave was asking about how to do it on a Mac. MacOS has something called fs_usage ( https://ss64.com/osx/fs_usage.html ). You can make it show you all the file system events that a progra...

Play blu-ray rips how?

I have a Pi 4 that I use as a Plex server. As long as my client(s) don't need things transcoded on the fly, it plays blu-rays and 4k UHDs fine.

Or, do you mean playing a rip directly on the Pi with a display attached to the Pi as if it were a traditional PC? Or some other way?

There's nothing magical about an enclosure for an optical drive. If you're handy you could build a box out whatever you've got lying around. Or just get some foam tape and tape them together in a stack. Then use a SATA to USB converter to power and connect them to your computer. https://www.sabrent....

When I look with mediainfo at a MKV file I have with a Dolby Atmos audio track, it looks different than yours. Audio #1 ID : 2 ID in the original source medium : 4352 (0x1100) Format : MLP FBA 16-ch Format/Info : Meridian Lossless Packing FBA with 16-channel presentation Commercial name : Dolby True...

VLC doesn't seem to differentiate between DTS and DTS-MA. A tool like Mediainfo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaInfo) can tell the difference however.

The example given is 106 characters. I doubt the redacted portions are long enough to make the whole thing more than 255 characters. Most likely, there's a permissions problem on the volume which is bubbling up with the posix error. Try to make the backup on your iMac's internal drive or some other ...

With VLC 3.0.11.1, on a Mac, if I do File -> Advanced Open File -> Disc -> Open VIDEO_TS / BDMV folder and then point to a BDMV from a backup from MakeMKV, it'll open it up and load the menus, FBI warnings and all that stuff. I'm a VLC novice, as it is not my preferred player, so there's probably a ...

Finder interprets BDMV as a package and makes it look like a single file. If one right-clicks (or control-click on a 1 button mouse) and selects "Show Package Contents" you'll be able to see all the things in there.

I think that part is trying to use the Nvidia hardware encoding, which requires a modern Nvidia card with Windows drivers. That's not going to work on a Mac.

Try just picking the 1 title that is the movie.

That error is almost always indicating that the drive had difficulty reading the disc. I sometimes use dish soap and water to clean the disc to remove any invisible oils on the surface and then carefully dry with a microfiber cloth.

https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=18856 is a good place to start to understand what LibreDrive is. I haven't had any difficulty with keys since MakeMKV manages that in the background and I'm rarely ripping a UHD in its first week of availability. The resulting MKV file from rip...

I only have a loose understanding of this topic, so take everything I say here with a grain of salt. Hopefully folks with more understanding that me will tell us where I'm wrong. One has to understand a bit about how movies are assembled onto a Blu-ray or UHD. Often, a title on a disc is an assembly...

In order to skip the backup step, after you launch MakeMKV and insert a disc, click the disc in the left side pane. MakeMKV should start reading and interpreting the file structure on the disc and eventually present you with a list of checkbox items. From here it is just like opening a backup in Mak...
