I have been using MakeMKV for the better part of a year by now, in the process of backing up my family's DVD library (over 800 titles so far). It's been going well outside of a few stubborn titles.

What I would like, more than anything, is an option in MakeMKV to play a sound effect when an operation is complete. At roughly 20 minutes per disc (depending on protection), my attention is not constantly on the program, and it would be nice to at least hear a ping (or whatever sound I choose) when the current disc is done.

Hello, here is a python script that i run that plays a sound when the makemkv beta popup comes up. it will wait for you to click ok and then be ready for the next popup.

rename file to .py and I run it with the command prompt. you should be able to change the sound by modifying the SOUND_ALIAS = "SystemAsterisk" line.

Hope this helps.
