You can skip the MakeMKV part and directly encode through Handbrake if you add the required libraries (libaacs, libbdplus) in your Handbrake install directory and grab decryption key database (which I won't link here). You can do the same with commercial DVDs and the libdvdcss library.

Then it's just a matter of opening the disc directly in Handbrake.




I've found MakeMKV to be much more reliable than Handbrake for ripping.


In my case I could never get MakeMKV to recognizey blu-ray drive, even when running the program with admin privileges.

And why run MakeMKV then run the MKV in HandBrake if I'm going to transcode it to x265 anyway. At this point I'll do both at once.


I use ffmpeg to batch convert ripped files. Decoupling ripping from transcoding is more efficient for me. I can get all the ripping done as fast as possible. Transcoding takes a lot longer.
