  Just re-download the install package from makemkv.com and run it, it will ask to remove old install then allow you to reinstall then the key resets. (do this until the new key is released). Then down the road if you like it you can always get the paid lifetime license. Source: 5 months ago

  If you're using something like MakeMKV to do the rip, you don't have to worry about the original protection, since it's removed as part of the process (and is a 1:1 copy of what's on disc, opposed to Handbrake, which always reencodes the video). Source: about 1 year ago

• Help with getting a dvd “show” onto my Plex server

  You'll have to use something like MakeMKV to make a copy of the disc on your PC (you'll need an optical drive), and if the episodes didn't already have their own entries when ripping the disc, you can use something like MKVToolNix to split the file into its individual episodes, then organize them according to Plex's naming conventions. Since it doesn't look like there's any online metadata available for that show,... Source: about 1 year ago

  From there, you'll have to decide what quality you want to save your content at. If you want the highest quality possible (a direct copy of what's on the disc) you can just run it through MakeMKV and call it a day. If you want to save some space, HandBrake is a popular tool for re-encoding videos, though there many options (including Tdarr if you want to bulk convert things, though there's a bit of a learning...

• Handbrake v 1.6 - Doesn't scan DVD

  I think most folks use MakeMKV for the ripping these days. I rip everything and figure out what tracks, etc. I am using in my encode. Then I use Handbrake after that. MakeMKV is effectively free (so far) as long as you don't mind re-entering their free registration key every couple months. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an “east button” for ripping Blu-ray’s?

  Do you have a Blu-Ray drive that a Linux distro like Ubuntu can see? If so, then you can proceed to learn more at https://makemkv.com/ — but I personally would not try to circumvent copyright protection since it’s against the law. Good luck. Source: over 1 year ago

• Changing the order of blu ray episodes

  Or you can rip using MakeMKV and google which title is correct for your disk. You can store the file on an external USB drive or similar so you don't use all the space on your Mac. Once the MKV is ready, you can use HandBrake to compress the file down a lot without losing too much quality if you want the size smaller. Source: over 1 year ago

  MakeMKV will be the easiest option for DVDs and Blu-rays. Copying Blu-rays is technically only free for 30 days, but it's free while in beta (and it's been in beta for over a decade now). If you don't want a 1:1 copy of the disc to save some space, HandBrake is a popular tool to reencode the file. Source: over 1 year ago
