I can rip from MakeMKV but it doesn't play properly in VLC even with the integration features of MakeMKV turned on.

Re: Seeking Advice with my Pioneer BDR-212UBK

VLC in a recent (last few years) version should be able to play anything that MakeMKV can rip. That isn't a LibreDrive issue. Does VLC open a window on your screen?
