Did you backup to a folder first? Or are you trying to do this from the disc itself? (I don't usually end up in the "open DVD manually" step is why I'm asking). I just go to open file, to the folder where the backup is, and then within that folder is a file called "BDMV" which I choose as the item to open and then it does (this "file" is actually a package that has various components inside of it, but on MacOS you have to right-click and choose "show package contents" in order for it to show the contents). I'm doing this on MacOS so its possible there are some slight differences if you're doing this on Windows or Linux, which I can't help with.Janssen wrote: Sun Aug 02, 2026 11:58 amOkay... made the back-upDrOct wrote: Sat Aug 01, 2026 2:21 pm Yes, you just backup to a folder using MakeMKV (make sure to uncheck the decrypt checkbox for these ones!), delete the AACS folder in side of that folder that it will create, and then point MakeMKV at the BDMV file in that folder and it'll load up like any other disc and you can create MKVs from it like normal. Though it will probably be way faster than when you create MKVs from a disc.
Tried opening different .bmdv files (File > Open Files or File > Open DVD Manually), but then nothing happens.
I have tried:
- /certificate/id.bdmv
- /bdmv/MovieObj.bdmv
- /bdmv/index.bdmv
[Edit] Looking more closely I think your problem is that you're going to "Open DVD Manually." Don't do that. Just choose Open File and then select the file called "BDMV."
