Re: Combining multiple titles to one movie.mkv file

I have the movie Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) which is too big to fit on a single disc, consequently, I have two .mkv files that make up the entire movie. I do most of my movie watching via Plex. Plex has a feature that allows for a movie to be split across multiple files. ( https://support....

Posix & Scsi errors lead to failure - is this "structure protection"?

While attempting to process a DVD w/ MakeMKV on my macOS Sequoia, the failure was preceded by a number of entries in the "console area" of the screen: Saving 1 titles into directory /Users/seamus/Movies/V FOR VENDETTA Immediately followed by this error which repeats 5 times: Error 'Posix e...

Re: Double trouble... is LibreDrive the answer?

I have a Pioneer drive, and an ASUS drive. I've used them interchangeably with my macOS 15 Sequoia iMac ... I've been keen to try LibreDrive, but haven't done so because I don't know where to find/download the firmware. And now I'm motivated to try it to see if it will "fix" this performa...

Double trouble... is LibreDrive the answer?

I have a Pioneer drive, and an ASUS drive. I've used them interchangeably with my macOS 15 Sequoia iMac (Apple Silicon). I updated the firmware on my Pioneer drive to a 2024 version (before I learned of LibreDrive). Yesterday, I began ripping a collection of brand-new, out-of-the-box BluRays. I inst...

Re: John Wick 2014 4K

I am a MakeMKV newbie. I just encountered the issue that I think is under discussion here... trying to rip "John Wick" from a disk that's said to be: "4KUltraHD, BluRay, Digital HD". All I wanted was the BluRay (1920x1080). There were over 200 titles listed, they were all pre-se...

Re: Combining multiple titles to one movie.mkv file

I've just read this post, and there seems to be much confusion. I might make it worse, but I'll try to explain the feature that would be useful - or perhaps (??) it's already embedded in MakeMKV: I'll use two examples of a single movie that is split across two BRDs (BluRay Disks): 1. Lawrence of Ara...

Re: Gatekeeper Mac Sequoia 15.5

I installed MakeMKV ver 1.18.1 on a macOS 15.5 just a few days ago. The "Gatekeeper" stuff has gotten pretty convoluted in Sequoia, but I didn't have any real issues.

Re: Has anyone been able to test MacOS 15.5 yet?

I successfully installed MakeMKV ver 1.18.1 on a macOS 15.5 just a few days ago. It was an iMac with an Intel processor - not the ARM processor.

Re: “Fatal Error Occured” with MacOS 15.4 Developer Beta 1

This is all "IMHO", but: I've been using Macs since 2012. It's been my observation that Apple's annual software releases have been getting worse, sloppier and more ill-behaved with each annual release. Recently, it's gotten truly abysmal. That said, I was able to install ver 1.18.1 on a ma...

Re: Total MacOS v15.5 Newbie Running MakeMKV v1.18.1 with Annoyances

From the other posts I just glanced at, I think I am somehow (and accidentally) luckier than most... Last week, I bought Pioneer drive from Billy Carr... The MakeMKV software seems a bit quirky, and I am trying to figure out when the issue lies... - When the file extract is done, several thing happ...
