Multiple Instance Ripping?

I see that MakeMKV can have more than one instance running on Windows 10. Can it rip multiple discs simultaneously?

To facilitate this, check "Ask for single drive mode" on the IO preferences tab. This asks you to assign a specific optical drive to each instance of MakeMKV & avoids conflicts.

Hm...
I use handbrake as well, but I don't use it to rip. MakeMKV runs my 4 drives in parallel and all 4 drives are the same speed as 1 drive to complete, so I can complete my rips 4 times faster with MakeMKV then I could with Handbrake.
Since there is no processing the processor limits don't apply and while ripping 4 instances my computer is running 5-10% using MakeMKV. Of course if you want to rip and re-encode at once Handbrake may be better, but I want to separate those so I rip first then later, I run handbrake as you suggest.

This is really important and makes life much easier. Otherwise there can be thrashing while the second instance of MakeMKV attempts to read the disc from the first instance which can lead to the first instance failing.

This is one heck of a selling point!

Follow on question to this thread...
I have 8 optical drives in my system and MakeMKV does an awesome job ripping DVDs and BDs from them.
Is there a way to run a batch file (or similar) to have Windows 10 open 8 MakeMKV GUI instances, each assigned to a unique drive?
Thanks
