I was working from the physical media.

To provide additional context, I tried this using my Apple SuperDrive and a BluRay Player on my MacBook Pro (M4 Pro)

Dear All Hope that you had a happy and healthy 2025. I was encoding Disk 3 of the Ken Burns JAZZ Documentary as a MKV file and got the following. I tried this multiple times and without any success. Disks 1 & 2 encoded without issue. Any guidance would be appreciated. Saving 1 titles into direct...

Great. Thank you. That is tomorrow night's and this weekend's project. You indicated that they have optimized Handbrake for the M Series processors? I have a new M4 Pro MacBook Pro. It has been so long since I used handbrake last, are there any tips or gotchas that I should be aware of?

TV is Apple TV
Mobile would be iPad (2020 or later) and iPhone (current gen) both in and out of home.

What would be the recommended settings for handbrake to accomplish these tasks? For optimizing for tv and mobile?

The only issue that I have is that these are Optimization Versions that Plex is transcoding, I am not running HandBreak manually on these so that I keep my high quality rips. So I am not sure how to solve this issue.

I used the MediaInfo App as suggested. It appears that the captions are in the Original MKV file. I see a "Text" section listed. However, I wonder if the Plex Optimized versions are stripping this out. I am not sure... hope that someone can help me review the data below, I don't see a Text...

This may not be exactly a MakeMKV question but here it goes. I had made MKVs of many BluRay Episodes, however it appears that PLEX is not displaying the subtitles/captions for them (not even as an option). Is there something that I possibly missed doing when making the MKV files? I am trying to figu...

Where do you see the option? For example, in the screenshot above, I would like to change the name to be more descriptive that would work with PLEX. Many of the disks I have just get named {Disk Name}_tXX.mkv where XX is a serial number for the tracks. Screenshot 2024-12-06 at 19.58.12.png Screensho...

Is there a way in MacOS 15 to stop having it ask to allow MakeMKV to access the Bluray Drive after each disk is inserted?

Each time I change the disk in the bluray drive and go to rip the disk, MakeMKV/MacOS prompts to allow access to external device/

Is there a way to in MakeMKV to specify the output file names per source item so that I do not have to rename them after the export?

How do I identify what items correspond to which special feature, movie or episode? Are there easy tools or resources that I could use to help simplify this craziness?

I have a collection of BluRay and DVDs that I am looking to Rip so that I can store them on my Synology NAS and play them via Plex to my devices. I had gotten a recommendation on using MakeMKV to convert the discs to digital files. Besides installing the MakeMKV software, is there anything that I ne...
