This isnt an makemkv problem but has anyone noticed and fixed the fact that MacOS (im on Ventura) doesnt show a an icon for blu-ray discs? See the image. Ideas?

The previous version of macOS had a similar problem.

I reported it to Apple but given they don't "officially" support blu-rays of any kind, I wouldn't expect any solution in the near future, if ever. I'm just happy the discs mount at all.

Apple...this is incredibly childish. To still support Blu-ray but not provide an icon.

After they started soldering memory and other components to the motherboard to prevent users from getting them cheaper elsewhere, I don't ever want to see anyone at Apple pointing a finger at Microsoft.

I know this is old, but search for "steve jobs bag of hurt" to understand Apple's stance on Blu-ray licensing (which includes 4K UHD Blu-ray).

Having said that, it's just an icon. If you can get your work done and dial-down the OCD a bit, it doesn't really matter.
