Naming Templates - One preset for TV Shows, another for Movies

Maybe this is a feature request, but, does there exist a way to create a preset naming template inside of MakeMKV? To elaborate, I would like to store TV Shows under "Show name \ Season # \ Show Name (year) Season ## Episode ## - Episode title.mkv" I would like to store Movies under "...

[Feature Request] Windows shortcut to target a specific drive

Can I set a command line parameter to tell MakeMKV to use a specific drive in my Windows 10 computer? I would like to use single drive mode, but tell MakeMKV which drive it's to use through the shortcut target instead of manually picking a drive from the list. (My drives are of the same type, so the...

Re: "But the disk is perfect and plays in my DVD/BD player!"

The main culprit in rip failure with those are the anti theft device that they stick to the disk. Those tends to unbalanced the disk making it vibrate while spinning. Most of the time we want to rip as fast as possible. But I wonder if it is possible to set MKV to rip at 1X speed? (Or lower?) It mi...

Re: Please make a portable version

That would help me too.

I use a slightly different file naming convention between movies and TV Shows. I also use multiple drives.

The different settings can step on each other between multiple instances of MakeMKV. It would be nice to distinguish them from each other.

Re: Building a computer for bluray ripping

Count each DVD movie as 8.4 GB, and each Blu Ray as 50 GB. If they want the extras disk, count those as half-full disks. That's just to estimate your storage needs. If your friend has TV Series which they want to convert over, you'll need a count of the number of discs in the series. I have about 19...

Re: "But the disk is perfect and plays in my DVD/BD player!"

I used MakeMKV on over 190 discs to this point. I found trouble with a brand new TV series (Quantum Leap, on Blu Ray for North America) with a bad season 2 disc 1. No visible surface defects. This played in my PlayStation 4 drive and on my PowerDVD plyer on the PC. The error pointed to http://www.ma...

Re: Quantum Leap - BR - Season 2 E1 & 5, Season 4 E2 & 4

TL;DR: I used AnyDVD top rip the videos to hard drive. Then used MakeMKV to put them into MKV files. Problem solved for this disc. Details: The shows in question played back fine in my PlayStation 4 drive as a Blu Ray disc. I was getting frustrated that I could watch the disc, but not shift it's for...

Quantum Leap - BR - Season 2 E1 & 5, Season 4 E2 & 4

I'm having troubles copying these episodes from new Blu-Ray discs. I returned the collection to the store and exchanged the discs with a new set. And I'm running into the same error. I tried two different BR drives, and two different computers. I also tried to copy the disc as an ISO to my computer,...
