expendables 3

Post by MrQuay »

Hi,
Bought Expendables 3 from a well known used game and film shop.
I am trying to rip it to MakeMKV.
I am using a Macbook pro and it shows over 100 titles.
How, on a Mac, do I locate the correct file?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Chris

First of all, Expendables 3 has a LOT of topics on internet (and a couple here) with lists of potential titles vs. disk source.

As for finding it empirically on OS X, if you have a player that can handle BD, you have "lsof", "ps", and "grep" available to you for finding the file name.

A terminal window would allow you to run "ps" to find the process ID of the BD player software. You might not need that; Feeding the output of 'lsof" through "grep", looking for "m2ts" will tell you what file name is open, but the process ID would make sure it is the RIGHT task reading the file.

Code: Select all

lsof | grep -i m2ts

Hi,

I really appreciate the reply. However, I am not very good with the terminal.
I pasted in your command but nothing happened. I am running 'Free mac blu-ray player' and was trying to see which title was the right one, but couldn't find a way of seeing it?

Any additional info would be great, or I'll have to skip this disc and just have it off the shelf when I wish to watch again :0

Cheers

Chris
