Need Help Testing Blu-rays on iMac with MakeMKV Trial Expired

Post by jestsweat »

Hi folks

I have an M4 imac, verbatim 43888.

I have some blurays I wanted to try to make sure worked before purchasing. I don't have a telly, so I don't have a regular blu-ray player, and have no choice but to use imac.

I downloaded the MakeMKV trial for mac, and it let me see dvds fine, great. But I couldn't figure out how to do the blu-ray, so I took a couple of days to research it. But by the time I have gone back to the trial, it says my version is too old and I cannot use it to test.

I am happy to buy MakeMKV IF it lets me watch these blu-rays on my mac. But with it expiring before I could figure it out, that is a LOT of money to spend if it's not going to let me watch these disks.

Can someone let me know, is there a way to contact MakeMKV and request a few more days with it to try to get these blu-rays to work? I just want to see if I can play or rip a single blu-ray disk-- if I can, I will happily purchase it.

I'm quite out of my depths here, I just upgraded from a 2011 macbook pro-- which still had the dvd player in it. A friend did some jiggery pokery and made it possible to watch dvds on it. But that computer is dead, and I don't know how to play my disks. I had NO idea it would be this hard to just watch an episode of The Twilight Zone!!

Any and all help would be welcome, I really am out of my depths here!!

Thanks for taking the time

You probably need to enter the current beta key. MakeMKV is free while in beta

FAQ about BETA and PERMANENT keys.
