Plex does indeed allow for organizing movies into individual folders. This is how I organize my Plex server. Naming and organizing your Movie files Plex also allows for putting individual files for the 'extras' along with a movie so they can be accessed in the Plex app interface. Local Files for Mov...

MKV is a container. It can contain lots of different things. When MakeMKV is used to rip a blu-ray, most commonly the resulting .mkv file contains h.264 encoded video ; a direct copy of what's on the disc. If MakeMKV is used to rip a 4K UHD, the resulting .mkv file contains h.265 encoded video ; ag...

Have any of your drives gotten stuck or broken or anything?

Physically, no. I do have a couple of LG based drives which get confused from time to time and need to be power cycled. Having them in external enclosures with their own power supplies makes recovering from a confused state pretty easy.

My Pioneer BDR-S13UBK is probably my best drive. It is in a Vantec enclosure and connected via USB. Since I have multiple drives sitting on my desk, I prefer a tray loading drive.

There are different DVD Opening modes. Maybe MakeMKV is getting confused with the default opening mode.

Hey I'm also confused! Noob here. So Make Backup makes a DVD image that I guess can be burned correct? Sure, if you like. You can also open the backup (or the disc directly) in MakeMKV and create .mkv files of the contents. You can create one .mkv of the movie and additional .mkv files for any 'ext...

So I will give this new theory a try, as soon as you let me know what "DD" is??? dd (Unix) can be thought of as a low level copy command in Unix. I think one of the complexities of trying to have MakeMKV create .iso files of blu-rays and UHDs is the UDF filesystem used on optical discs. M...

ASMCOM - I have purchased from them twice now and their service is second to none. How do you go about buying a drive from him may I ask? The website has nothing but a eBay link which doesn’t go to a eBay seller page. Here's their thread on this forum: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?...

Marvel Studios has gone down the crapper since Disney took over.

Didn't Disney buy Marvel in 2009?

It is my understanding that MakeMKV uses the hashes to make sure that what's read from the optical disc is correct. This is probably the most likely source of error. Decrypting the files, combining them and writing them out to disk is unlikely to be problematic.

I am still unable to do so. I am getting the same as in the first post as this thread. can anyone suggest a reason why this may be? Thanks in advance.

Can you copy & paste your MakeMKV log here?

Probably the optical drive is having trouble reading the disc.

The standard advice is to gently clean the disc and try again.

If the drive is powered by USB, it might not be getting enough power. Make sure both USB plugs are plugged into high powered ports.

It looks like Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio came out in December 2023. I would expect someone has submitted to the dump in the past and a key to be available, but perhaps you've got one from a new pressing with a different key? It is also possible that your MakeMKV is not able to reach the key serv...
