VLC needs a symlink to the libmmbd library that comes with MakeMKV. Sometimes MacOS's security model messes it up. You might be able to create the appropriate link manually.

Is there a instruction how to do that?

Just a quick note: you don't *have* to rip with MakeMKV separately and then convert with Handbrake. You can make two copies of the appropriate libmmbd library (libmmbd.dll on Windows with 32-bit Handbrake; libmmbd64.dll with 64-bit Handbrake) in the Handbrake install directory, and name them ...

It seems libbluray has no env var or so that can be used to really disable loading of libmmbd, so the "best" solution I found was the following systemd drop-in config, which simply denies gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor access to libmmbd and makemkvcon (the latter ...

... seems the offender which starts makemkvcon is gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor. Looking at this it's linked against libbluray.so.2, so I presume it's libmmbd which somehow comes into play. Any ideas how one prevents this? Thanks, Jemima.

... instructions for putting libaacs and libbdplus on for running blu-ray movies apply only to MPC-HC. apparently, also, the instructions for using libmmbd [installed from MakeMKV] apply only to VLC, though https://www.makemkv.com/libmmbd/ says something about additionally needing bluray.dll [libbluray]. ...

Nah you've got the right idea, but your VLC is not loading libraries from /usr/lib64/ apparently.

AFAIK libbluray.so.2 needs to load libmmbd.so.0 dynamically. VLC itself doesn't load libmmbd explicitly, but implicitly via libbluray.

And yes, libmmbd is also just a front-end for makemkvcon.
