Can I specify a default USB 3.0 BD Drive?

#1 Post by mkvgrub » Thu Sep 28, 2017 8:11 pm

I have two BD drives (external, in USB 3.0 enclosures). I want to run two instances of MakeMKV and specify each instance uses only one of the BD drive by default. I had it set up that way on my 2009 Mac Pro (died), but do not seem to be able to do that with my new iMac. If I don't when I open the second MakeMKV it starts scanning the BD that's being uploaded vie the 1st MakeMKV...

In Preferences->IO, make sure that "Ask for single drive mode" is checked. Restart MakeMKV, and it will ask you if you want this instance to monitor "all" drives, or specific ones.

Thanks! That did the trick. Amazing what I'm able to forget if I don't do a function for 8 years.
