- HD-DVD support is limited - some discs may fail to open and not all audio and subtitle tracks will be preserved.

- Computer administrator privileges are required on Windows to run the beta version. This is limitation of Windows SCSI application programming interface. Eventually MakeMKV will not require administrator privileges to run.
