Re: MakeMKV not recognised?

You're probably running into macOS's Gatekeeper. There are ways to make your Mac run software that isn't notarized: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445

The short, short version is open System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> scroll down and click the Open Anyway button

Re: Forced subtitles

You recommend selecting all available english, subtitle options (8 in the example I provided) when ripping a disc, correct? Yes Only one of the options is the forced subtitle track. However, there is no way to know beforehand which one it is. Also, some of the options may turn out to be nothing. Is...

Re: Forced subtitles

In your example above, what is really selected is 4 subtitle tracks. Also MakeMKV is set such that if in any of those 4 subtitle tracks it encounters some subtitles that are marked as forced to copy those into their own separate subtitle track in the .mkv file. The resulting .mkv file will have a mi...

Re: Verbatim 43888 Flash Help

Have you tried using MakeMKV to double check LibreDrive support? I'm wondering if the "Possible, not yet enabled" recognition is due to firmware or macOS restricting access to /dev/rdisk8? The drive identifiers on macOS look like /IOBDServices/D5D25996. The flashing commands won't work if...

Re: Flashing firmware on a Mac for LibreDrive

I tried following segfaulted post and just copy and pasting but it’s not working for me. I presume this post from @segfaulted . One can not just copy & paste those commands into Terminal to do the task. The same is true for the suggested reading from bachelorbob. At a high level, one has to fig...

This Rush BluRay is the only disc I've ever had fail on me. I think I watched it once, popped it back in the case. Pulled it out a couple of years ago, dead.

I just stuck it in my computer again and the drive is reporting 'No disc inserted'. Boo.
Try gently cleaning the disc.

Re: Forced subtitles

In the example below, for the film 2012, there are 8 choices of PGS English subtitles. There are 4 choices of forced only subtitles. How do I know which one to choose, or do I just select all 4 of them? If I choose all 8, I will get forced subtitles that will appear when dialogue is spoken in other...

Re: Niche problem with superwide MakeMKV window macOS 10.13

Interestingly enough, since I use a dual display set up, if I run MakeMKV on the primary display (the one with the Dock), it works fine, and the window is resizeable. It might be just that when it's run on the secondary display that it has an issue with the MakeMKV window width. I wonder if you re-...

Re: Niche problem with superwide MakeMKV window macOS 10.13

Re: Identifying Episodes after conversion to mkv

In cases where DVDCompare.net hasn't been helpful and the TV Show doesn't put the name of the episode in the show, I have found that matching the writer & director combo to the relevant TV Show episode info on Wikipedia can be useful. At least for the show's I've used this on, rarely does the sa...

Re: False AnyDVD error message

Has a solution for this ever been found? I don't even have AnyDVD installed, and I get this error on the Naked Gun 33 1/3 blu-ray. When I let MakeMKV run after closing the error message, it ran for over 20 minutes, filling the log window with read errors, before I closed MakeMKV. https://forum.make...

Re: Wan Pipel Cult Epics BD (2025) Issue

It might just need a gentle cleaning. Sometimes new discs can have left over lubricants from the manufacturing process or deposits from the plastic case off gassing. I gently clean discs with liquid dish soap, plenty of warm water, and light pressure from my fingertip. A light scrubbing, a thorough ...

Re: Rip to NAS or to PC first? How to multiple discs?

Also consider setting up a dedicated PC as a storage solution as an alternative to a NAS. NAS enclosures are surprisingly costly these days, unaffordably so. It sorta depends on how much you need to store and how much redundancy you'd like to have. Lots of people are sorta surprised that $500 will ...
