Re: MacOS Blu-Ray Icon Missing

I know this is old, but search for "steve jobs bag of hurt" to understand Apple's stance on Blu-ray licensing (which includes 4K UHD Blu-ray).

Having said that, it's just an icon. If you can get your work done and dial-down the OCD a bit, it doesn't really matter.

Would you mind explaining the steps that are needed to code sign and notarize the MakeMKV app? Thank you.
Worst case scenario:

1. Sign up for a $99/year Apple Developer account.
2. Use something like mitchellh/gon to handle the notarization bit.

It's not complicated.

Notarization is pretty damn easy, whether your project is in Xcode or not. I've asked for this before, and I've never gotten an answer.

[SOLVED] Trouble patching firmware for WH16NS40

This is less of a question, and more of a reminder for my future self. This is my third LibreDrive. They keep dying on me. Most recently, I bought an LG-branded M-DISC drive, WH16NS40. Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE WH16NS40 SVC code: NS50 Revision: 1.05 Firmware date: 2120-05-06 14:40 Manuf:...

Re: Drive used to work, now just spits out discs (macOS)

  • No 4K UHD (tested several)
  • No Blu-ray (tested several)
  • No DVD
  • No CD
Everything just spins for a moment, then spits the disc back out.

Went ahead and ordered a new ASUS BW-16D1HT, so we'll see how that goes.

Drive used to work, now just spits out discs (macOS)

I have an external ASUS BC-12D2HT in a NexStar enclosure that I successfully patched the firmware for to create a LibreDrive around 18 months ago (I think; quarantine has made all the days run together). I've format-shifted multiple discs from UHD to H.265 using this drive. Then I didn't do anything...

Nevermind. Watched the movie chapters and confirmed it's also 504.

Re: Latest version maximised fullscreen, can't change it.

I'm running macOS 10.12 “Sierra”, and Voiceover tells me that "this window cannot be moved". When changing the instruction to resize, I get "this window cannot be resized".

MakeMKV does not appear to be a Cocoa app, so the regular rules for Mac apps don't really apply. :/

More details: From Terminal, I ran `/Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/MacOS/makemkv`. This launched the GUI with the same error dialog I experienced before. Next, I ran `/Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/MacOS/makemkvcon`. This gave me some help text. Good, something works. Based on the message, I...

I'm running: * Mac OS X 10.7.2 (latest beta; final release is next week) * MakeMKV 1.6.15 (latest at this moment) * daspi 1.3 (part of the 1.6.15...
