MakeMKV falsely detects AnyDVD when opening a Blu-ray ISO

[Marek Andrzej]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a warning message in MakeMKV v18.3 stating that AnyDVD is running ("Anscheinend verwenden Sie die Software AnyDVD..."), even though I do not have AnyDVD installed or running on my system.

Here are the details:

- MakeMKV Version: v1.18.3 win(x64-release)
- Source: Blu-ray 3D ISO file mounted / loaded directly.

Has anyone encountered this false positive before or know what might trigger it?


Thanks for your help!

How did you create the ISO? If you used AnyDVD, then there's your answer.

Update: I found out what caused the issue!

The warning is triggered because the ISO structure contains specific backup folders/files (like folders named "ANY!" or similar remnants). MakeMKV scans the directory structure and flags these automatically, even if AnyDVD isn't installed on your current system.
