It also could be RipGuard or ARccOS where there are intentional bad sectors on the disc itself.

Does the MakeMKV software automatically save cover art within the .mkv file? For blu rays I believe I see that "cover art" is listed amongst the different titles you can choose to rip or not rip. However I have not seen that listed for DVDs. So is cover art automatically saved within the ...

I feel you :-/

Hmm not sure if it can be a Mac thing, knowing their security settings can be quite difficult. Do you have a way of putting the BDMV and CERTIFICATE directory into a ISO and try opening the ISO? The BDMV directory would be the one the index.bdmv file is inside. I'm not sure if the CERTIFICATE is sti...

I mean to open the index.bdmv file with VLC.

Or: in VLC press CTRL+D, to go Disc -> BluRay -> Disc Device -> Browse and there select the directory

Something seems to be wrong with your BluRay structure there, but if no log is written, then it is difficult to pinpoint. Is VLC able to play the disc? Btw have you enabled "Log debug messages" in MakeMKV options? it's at the General tab. If yes, then it should create a log file in your %u...

So I can play the M2TS files which I guess means it's decrypted and I don't need to run it through MakeMKV at all?? I film I'm trying is Godzilla (2014) and I can see an M2TS file which is 33GB which I assume would be the full untouched film which I can then load into Handbrake? Yes and no. M2TS fi...

You can try to play one of the M2TS files from the stream directory. If you have a clear picture, it probably is decrypted. Looking for bigger files would be better to actually find a video clip and not a still picture.

Is your movie decrypted? Does MakeMKV show anything in the log? Are there all other directories beneath the one, where the index.bdmv is located? (like Auxdata, Backup, BDJO, Clipinf, Jar, Meta, Playlist, Stream)

But I somehow doubt, that they would have to sell DVD players which are able to play these things. If you read the videohelp thread it says Warner Bros hacked the DVD-R spec to make it only play on "play only" devices, and here is the back of the case I be damned... now I'm curious how th...

I don't know anything about this copy protection.

But I somehow doubt, that they would have to sell DVD players which are able to play these things.

Besides, on Amazon.com and eBay the discs are cheaper than $30.

now I’m forced to purchase a key

Someone is standing with a gun behind you and forces you to buy? Might need better locks on your home.

Otherwise, buying is an appreciation towards mike for his work.

MakeMKV won't help you there. It only rips videos from DVDs and BluRays, and can handle MKV files.

DivX is really old, so is AVI. You might use a transcoder light Handbrake to convert it to something your devices can understand.

That depends on what kind of files/folders are on that USB drive.

now let's see how they look as a default OS icon with 48x48:

Gone are most of the details.
