Re: Support for 16+ drives

So, in order to get around the 16 device limitation in MakeMKV, I installed AnyDVD and ImgBurn, both of which support > 16 devices. Now, I can create ISO files from all 25 devices on the computer using ImgBurn, and then convert the ISO files to MKV files using MakeMKV. As the last step, I just delet...

Speed writing isn't an issue, though - the disks get loaded twice a day, so even if it takes several hours to write the files, it's ready when the next load gets done.
Exactly this! 8)

Re: Support for 16+ drives

If you have a second computer you could split your 25 drives between the 2. Yes, but that would require more resources and additional space at my end. Not a deal-breaker, of course, but only if I become desperate enough. :wink: In the end, I was hoping that the current hard limit of 16 devices, was...

Re: Support for 16+ drives

I'm curious why you have 25 optical drives connected to a computer? I feel like I'm in a rare group of people with 3 optical drives connected to a computer in 2023. While I can imagine why I might have a 4th or 5th optical drive, I seem to lack the imagination for 25. The best I can come up with is...

Re: Support for 16+ drives

I have now added additional units and have a total of 25 drives confirmed working in Windows. I use MakeMKV in command line only, but even in command line, MakeMKV can only see and utilize the first 16 drives it finds in Windows. Would really appreciate an update in a future version to support > 16 ...

Support for 16+ drives

Any chance MakeMKV could be updated to support more than 16 drives anytime soon? I currently have a confirmed working setup, with a mix of 20 dvd/bd drives, and currently use the command line to convert discs in a single swoop (sequentially of course). Suggestion; support for additional drives could...
