Advice for Macbook Pro owner.

#1 Post by simonpickard » Tue Aug 25, 2009 2:38 am

Hello all,

I've been using MakeMKV on my macbook pro (via windows 7 bootcamp) for a while now and love it!
I've only been using it to rip my DVDs for now but will start converting Blu-ray soon and was wondering if anyone knew of an external drive that works under OSX with MakeMKV?

Any advice on this matter would be great!

Regards,
Simon

Hey Simon,

I use an OEM Panasonic USB Bluray drive with my Mac Mini. Here's the listing for it on eBay. There are two versions, one that reads only and one that also writes. I got the read-only one but I'm sure the one that writes should work, too.

Great stuff, thanks! :)

So you don't have any issues using this under OSX? Do you have any problems with region locking?
I take it this drive will work with OSX and Windows?

Regards,
Simon

I'm only using this in OSX and have had no problems so far. I've ripped a ton of Bluray movies using this drive with virtually no issue. Only issues seem to be non-hardware related, more software which I'm sure will be remedied when OSX fully supports Bluray.
