Is there support for BD+ ?

[Jordy]

Loving this software, does exactly what it says on the tin. I was wondering though if there was BD+ support, or is it coming in a future release?
Keep up the fantastic work!

Yes, starting from version 1.4.9 MakeMKV supports all BD+ titles released to date.

Thanks Mike, that's excellent news.

Actually I was wondering, are there any plans to make a 64bit version that makes use of Grand Central for multicore processing in Snow Leopard? I understand you are always limited by the speed of your Optical Drive and Hard Drive, but any speed boost elsewhere in the process is always a plus

Mike.....been loving this program to back-up the bluray discs I own and stream via my PS3MS.
A few quick questions as I'm currently using the Beta 1.4.9 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.
1) Is there any advantage to using a registered or full copy vs beta and is there such a copy?
2) It seems that when I make a copy of any VC-1 movies, the PS3 does not support, giving me a "corrupted file" message.......any way around this with MakeMKV?
3) Some recent titles do not seem to be supported with the security for me to make a back-up such as Night at the Museum 2, etc......is there anything I could or should do to get around this?

Thanks in advance for your help with these ?'s above.

Hi Mike.....I believe I answered question 3 by downloading the SVQ file and info from the website, ty!
If you get a minute, please help me with questions 1&2
TY.....John

MakeMKV is currently in beta - there is only one beta version and it has no restricitions.

2) It seems that when I make a copy of any VC-1 movies, the PS3 does not support, giving me a "corrupted file" message.......any way around this with MakeMKV?

I know for sure that one can convert MKV with VC1 video into AVCHD disc image with tsMuxer and it would play perfectly on PS3. I guess it is a bug or limitation in ps3 media server. I do not know any more details.

MakeMKV already uses multicore processing, it does not use GCD but has its own code, but still it would use all of your available cores

Great.....thx Mike.
I'll give it a try and hopefully soon find another media player to stream so this extra process can be avoided.

Cheers for the heads up Mike, nice to see there is multicore support. I have 8 cores to play with so hopefully MakeMKV should blitz the processor intensive sections.
