Best way to move MakeMKV to another drive?

[jkauff]

My C: drive is an M.2 NVMe SSD, and I think it's throttling from the heat when I convert a very large Blu-ray. I have another drive I'd like to move MakeMKV to, but it's a licensed copy and I'm not sure how to do it and retain the license info.

Any advice?

Pretty sure moving the app itself will not change anything, but you could try changing where MakeMKV output is written?

Options > Video tab > Default destination > SemiAuto

& set an alternate output path (to the other drive).

Thanks, but I'm already using an alternate path for output. Still have the problem.

Fair enough... I still doubt it'll matter, but if your key is not written down, you can recover it from the current install buy accessing Help > Register & copy/pasting current key to a safe location. Then you can uninstall/reinstall/re-register anywhere you wish.

Thanks. That's the answer I was looking for.

On further thought, however, I probably need to change the temp file location to another drive. Wonder if I can do that in the registry or if the default is hard-coded?

I don't think MakeMKV bothers with a temporary file, though.

Well, for whatever reason, moving the MakeMKV application allows me to rip the title with no slowdown. It was a very big title, over 40GB, and it would bog down at around 34GB read.
