NEW: MakeMKV Improvements

Sorry, I missed that. The "Mount" menu option described by Brad does the same as Open with Explorer, it's just probably added by some 3rd party tool like Virtual CloneDrive that simulates a physical drive.
Please note the rest of Brad's comment, try doing that instead of Tools->Rip:
--- Quote ---After that, if you go into Media Center, in the tree view on the left side, under 'Drives & Devices' the mounted ISO should show up as an optical drive.
You can select the ISO from the tree once it shows up there as an optical drive. It's important to note that if you already had Media Center open when you mounted the ISO, you might need to hit 'Refresh' in the view header for the ISO because the data might not be analyzed yet.
Once the data does show up, you can click 'Rip Disc' in the view header for the ISO, and from there, select 'MakeMKV Rip' in the action window.

If that fails, you can give Virtual CloneDrive or WinCDEmu (opensource) a go - they simulate a physical drive and can usually fool apps like MC.

Thanks for reminding me to read the rest of Brad's comment. Earlier, I had not gotten past the "Mount" part.
Yes, the sequence in Brad's comment (using "Open with Windows Explorer" instead of "Mount") worked.
After upgrading to the current version of MakeMKV (which the MC error message nicely pointed out I had to do), Brad's instructions worked. I wound up with the nn.mkv files in the video tree.
Having the .mkv files loaded in MC direct from MakeMKV makes it a lot easier to assign season/episode numbers to the files so that I can use "Get Movie & TV Info" to fill out the rest of the episode information (episode titles, images, actors, etc.).
Many thanks to zybex and BradATIMA for hanging in there and helping me work through this.

Thank you for adding that. It's most likely MiniTools Partition Wizard giving me that option. I also forgot to mention that the Tools->Rip route won't work in this case. In the future, it could be an entry point to ripping titles from an ISO, but I couldn't say when just yet.
I'm glad that this is working for now.

This allows users to take advantage of all the features on the disc, including menus, particularly with Blu-ray discs. The decryption option also allows these backups to be played without requiring a decryption engine running in the background.

This is great - thanks, but I may be missing something. Once the disc is backup up to the ISO, is there an easy way to play it in JRiver?
A suggestion for ripping discs (not backup), is there an easy way to play the videos listed in the ripping menu? I like to rip all the extras and can be hard to work out what they are, and hence issues with naming them correctly. A popup playback window for that track usually could show what it is.

You can play ISO files in Media Center, but to do this, you need to make sure it's mounted. The previous few posts cover this, but you would use the Play option instead of ripping.

This request you would probably need to make to MakeMKV.
