NEW: Rip with MakeMKV

In this case it was disc read errors due to a scratch on the disc.

I realized last night that this does work, sometimes. It's the same behavior as MakeMKV I think where some discs are encoded differently and the tracks all show up with the disc title already in their filename. I had a movie last night that did populate the title as I described above, but many just default back to the generic title_0.mkv naming.
Thanks!

That makes sense. It doesn't really return success report at the end. We can try to improve the reporting at the end.

It would be awesome if you could. I generally spot-check everything I rip along every step of the way anyway, so if it's not something MakeMKV will allow it's not the end of the world. Could MC somehow enable and tail MakeMKV's debug log?
And I realized that I don't care as much about the file naming thing as I thought. I was thinking too much like my old process of running MakeMKV myself and having to manage all the resulting files. Since MC's library is so powerful, I can more easily keep track of what's ripped, what's transcoded, etc. without worrying at all about the filename until the very end.
However, I'm not having much luck with ripping TV episodes as I'd like. I need to experiment with it some more but it seems to always be more opinionated towards movies during the metadata lookup and doesn't return TV series at all. I always just skip the metadata lookup for TV series discs and worry about it after the rip is done. It'd be great if I could somehow tag the tracks in the selection window with an epidsoe number and have MC handle the rest form there with looking up data. Like if it could auto assign an episode number in order for all selected tracks, and then let you adjust them from there.
All in all this a fantastic addition! This will greatly streamline my workflow once I get the kinks worked out.

This sounds good, will give it a try.
I have been using MakeMKV for Blu Ray rips for quite awhile. I then use Music Media Helper that has a JRiver option that does the JRiver sidecar option for tagging, etc. Very useful on my Dolby Atmos Blu Ray music rips.
When an a Atmos album is ripped and you need gapless playback like Abbey Road, then the file needs to be ripped as a whole, not chapters as JRiver does not have gapless playback from the video rips (MKV Video (video:h264,audio:truehd) tab. The audio (audio only rips, DSD, FLAC, etc) tab does have the ability for gapless playback.
But for video playback, HDMI out to your receiver, USB out won't work.
It would be cool for the people who create JRiver to have gapless playback on ripped chapters to be put under the video tab, but so far the workaround is fine for me.

This helped me make quick work of ripping all of my girlfriend's DVDs. Awesome job!
Now I'm trying to rip some of my UHD discs and I'm running into some issues. For some discs there are no problems at all, others however give MakeMKV a bit of a hard time when building the list of tracks, and during those times MC's main window is completely unresponsive and eventually starts triggering the Windows "Close or Wait for program" dialog to pop up. If I use MakeMKV directly, even though it may take a really long time to read the disc, it doesn't trigger the same "unresponsiveness" from Windows POV, so I've been falling back to using that when this happens, but it'd be great if MC could handle this as I much prefer using MC for this task now that I've got my MakeMKV profile setup the way I like.
One other question/request: Is there any way for MC to detect a UHD disc and offer ripping options like we have for CD/DVD/BD now, re: paths/file naming?
Thanks guys!
