Enabling handbrake decoding for protected BRs?

[Jango]

Hello, attempting to rip using Handbrake, using MakeMKV as a proxy.
When attempting to change the setting, I get an error stating MakeMKV cannot change system preferences..



MacOS Sequoia 15.11 (ARM)

Any hint?

BTW, could this mean I could rip and encode a BR skipping MakeMKV extraction?

See this thread: makemkv was prevented from modifying apps on your mac

At some point, you'll have to take the time to get the bits off the optical disc. Wether you choose to that explicitly with MakeMKV or implicitly in Handbrake, it'll still take the same amount of time.

Besides, you should consider saving the uncompressed rips. Whatever you encode them to today using Handbrake will probably not be what you want in a few years. If you have the uncompressed rips, you can easily send them through Handbrake again. If you have to rip them again, waste a lot of time doing it.

i highly recommend against live encoding not sure how handbreak does it but another ripping program would keep the drive active the whole time on a really slow pc encoding a movie for days killing the drive in just a few days replaced that guys drive 2 times before i asked what he was doing.

makemkv does not do this
so just rip with makemkv then do handbreak if you want to but i dont use it at all i keep them full quality.
