Makemkv multiple drives

#1 Post by rubiks1 » Sun Dec 07, 2025 10:30 pm

Hello
I have a large dvd and blu ray collection that I am converting to ISO for my plex server. I have 4 internal blu ray drives on my machine and the issue I am running into is when I open up 4 instances of makemkv one for each drive and it's dvd, makekkv just spins and will not see all 4.
Is there a setting I need to change for multiple drives to work? I have attached a pic of what I am seeing.

Thanks

MakeMKV Preferences > IO tab > check 'Ask for single drive mode' & Apply.
