Wow! Thank you so much for the guidance (and warning about Disk 10)

I wish that MakeMKV gave a little clue as to why it failed so that we could have figured it out.

Hi All - I borrowed a copy of this disk from a colleague who also had it and tried both from the disk and the ISO back up and still got the same error messages. Using direct disc access mode Title #1 was added (67 cell(s), 1:49:35) Title #2 was added (1 cell(s), 0:00:10) Title #4 has length of 7 sec...

Dear All, I was trying to make a backup copy of a disk in MakeMKV and while I am able to play in DVD Player app the disk, when I was trying to make the ISO backup I got the following message log using my Apple SuperDrive. MakeMKV v1.18.3 darwin(arm64-release) started Optical drive "DVD+R-DL HL-...

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/
