Preferences (the wrench icon if you want), General tab, turn on "Expert mode". That will enable to Advanced tab, which will allow you to select the Default profile as "FLAC". With FLAC selected, when you next open a disk, you should see (upon expansion of the title to view the tr...

My only option is to "Backup" So, you did not click on the BIG ICON with the disk on it, that moved when you had the drive open and inserted the disk? MakeMKV does have a FLAC profile you can select when you have the advanced options turned on. But the backup option doesn't really offer t...

Not the assembly - and it would depend on what the actual drive inside the assembly is as to whether it would be useful in your computer.

When I ripped Shogun eons ago, there was a warning that the only Japanese that would be subtitled was that which the main character learned to interpret. The majority was un-subtitled, with NONE subtitled at the beginning of the series.

As the disk area being read gets towards the outer part of the disk, the speed will increase. "16x" only refers to the MAXIMUM speed you will see, not TYPICAL. There is a maximum RPM the drive will go; there is more data available to read, per rotation, as you move further away from the ce...

As I mentioned, I have one drive (Z:) on my Windows system where new rips go. That's all that is in my customized line, with "SemiAuto" checked. If a disk has a title, the path becomes "Z:/Title of Disk/", example "Z:/Danmachi S4 Part1 BD-1". This could work for many pe...

But, just out of curiosity, why 6 versions of MakeMKV? Two reasons: Defensiveness, and laziness. Can't say which is the main reason, though. When a new version is posted, I'll install it, but not as my primary immediately. There have been versions that were screwed up in some way, so that's a defen...

Just a note to say I have (currently) 6 versions of MakeMKV installed on this machine, and 8 on another, from version 1.14.1 through 1.17.5 (haven't installed .6 yet). You do NOT have to install a new/different version in the same directory as the original install.

Just saying.

Not sure what you mean - MakeMKV has something "moving" when it's busy, and it's static when it is waiting. Start the program, and it has bars that move while it's checking the system, then a static screen when it's waiting. Open the drive bay, and the window changes to show the drive is m...

Those indicate read errors, one of which (625668096) was eventually read past, which could be because of the disk being scratched or dirty. Have you tried cleaning the disk? Even "clean, new, never been used" disks can have read issues... trust me, I've encountered them. It's especially an...

The logs are available from your home directory (depends on your operating system), and show the progress through the rip. We would need to see what is happening to tell you what the fix is. You can post the logs in your message, unless they exceed about 60K in size. But at least a portion of them w...

And you seem to be unwilling to let anyone know what those issues are. Were you expecting people to guess?

From the description on the page you linked to, the type of disk wouldn't matter. Although, 4K disks are more likely to have issues with keys when new, so automatic ripping may be a problem with fresh disks. Whether you trust it after that warning is up to you; No one here has any control over that ...

"Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed." usually means something is blocking you from getting the update file. This is more and more common as anti-piracy people start blocking hosts.

You should submit the two files mentioned to be processed. MKB20_v77_Witchfinder_General_UHD_49E8.tgz MKB20_v77_Blood_on_Satans_Claw_UHD_D604.tgz The email address is the fastest. Then, assuming nothing is blocking access to the key server (nothing was mentioned in your logs), you should be able to ...
