Re: Question on TV Series

@topgazza @tacocat I have questions about Curb Your Enthusiasm on DVD. The DVDs that I have have have more than 10 episodes, although the episode guides all show 10 episodes per season. CYE doesn't show the name of the episode in text at all when the episode plays, so one has to guess- or watch the ...

Re: Tried ripping a BR disc with V1.17.6- system rebooted

I wasn’t trying to cancel out a bad rip. The rip had ended showing “FAILED”. I clicked OK to Close the dialog and tried again. That’s when the Mac rebooted. Chances are it’s also a bug in the app- not checking a return value, not making sure a pointer is valid before using it. Makemkv has plenty of ...

Tried ripping a BR disc with V1.17.6- system rebooted

I'm on MacOS 11.7.10 (20G1427) with a M1 MacMini.

I tried ripping a BR disc, which eventually failed.
I then cleaned the disc and tried ripping it again- my system rebooted.
A crash dump wasn't displayed though.

Are there any logs I can post for the developers?

1.17.4 on Big Sur - looks like it's ripping but the DVD player has stopped

Hi, I'm ripping a DVD on MacOS 11.7.9, with 1.17.4 of MakeMKV. The lower progress bar is about 50% done, and the elapsed time is already 3 hours. (for a very small DVD). The progress bars aren't moving, the Remaining time is just getting longer, but the DVD player isn't spinning any more. Why doesn'...

Region Codes

Does it matter which region code a DVD or BR has, when I'm just using MakeMKV to rip it for use in Plex?
I've found a hard-to-find DVD set that is only for Region code 2. I usually don't watch movies from DVD-> TV,
I have mostly been watching them from Plex using a tablet.

Thanks

Makemkv dialogs not showing properly on Big Sur(ly)

MakeMKV 1.17.3, BigSur 11.7.4, M1 MacMini When Makemkv finished ripping, the dialog which shows that the rip had finished was hidden. It was actually shrunken, and on the other monitor from where the program was running. See screenshot. When I clicked on the "About" dialog to get the progr...

My experience with the Pioneer BDR-XS07S drive

Hi, I've only been using Plex for just under 2 years, and don't have as much experience ripping DVDs for use in Plex as most of you. Before I found this forum, I had arbitrarily bought an Archgon USB drive from Amazon, which has been pretty successful ripping 98% of all of the DVDs / BRs I own and/o...

I don't quite understand the LibreDrive thread in that forum.

I've tried sending PMs but the messages are sitting in my Outbox.
How do I send them?

Re: Picard Season 2 - DVD

It has been my experience that some optical drives just don't like some discs. I don't know why. I'm now have 3 different optical drives. Most things rip fine in my 'main' drive. When they don't I try the other drives. Often, but not always, they work just fine in a different drive. On the rare occ...

Re: Picard Season 2 - DVD

Well, Disc 3 plays just fine on a stand-alone DVD player. I've also tried using AnyDVD on Windows 10, it has the same problem that MakeMKV does. It scans the disc but eventually shows there is no disc inserted. I'm wondering if I just don't have a decent USB-optical drive (Archgon MD-8107-U3). I hav...

Picard Season 2 - DVD

Has anyone been able to rip Picard Season 2 DVDs with anything? Discs 1 & 2 weren't a problem with MakeMKV. Disc 3 just can't be ripped for some reason. I've tried MakeMKV, MacX DVD Ripper Pro, and MacDVD Ripper Pro. None can open the disc. I need to try that disc in a real DVD player. I have a ...

Re: Can makemkv make an .iSO image of a bluray disc?

My usual workflow is to make a decrypted full backup of a disc and then make .mkv files from the backup. It makes it easy to get the movie and any extras on the disc, all at the speed of one's storage, not the speed of the optical drive. Good idea. Mine has been making ISOs an putting them on my NA...

MakeMKV has both "full backup" and "convert to MKV" functions.

To use full backup and get the BDMV folders, DO NOT click on the big disk image after inserting. Click on the little folder icon in the toolbar.
Thanks, I’ve only used the mkv feature since I’m ripping for Plex

You can backup the BR to a BDMV folder structure. Then make an .iso from that with standard utilities.

On Linux I use mkisofs; I'm not sure about Mac.
Thanks, how do I make a BDMV folder structure with mkmkv? It always makes flv files.

This particular Blu ray disc has copy protection
