One copy protection tactic that companies may use to make it hard to rip the movie is “playlist obfuscation.” When you load the movie up in MakeMKV, it may appear there are tens or hundreds of copies of the same movie. This metadata is usually not what you want and can be confusing if you try adding it to Plex later.īefore pushing a converted video to Plex, update the file properties to remove (or update) any metadata that was added by MakeMKV and Handbrake during the conversion process. I found that movies ripped with MakeMKV and later converted with a tool like Handbrake will sometimes bring along metadata like the movie title. I ended up paying since I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth. You do have to re-visit the forums occasionally to get a new beta key for the product, but that’s not too hard. MakeMKV has been in beta for a very long time and is free during the beta period.

It does no conversion like Handbrake but is good at preserving original content and cherry-picking audio tracks for later conversion. MakeMKV is a great free tool for ripping DVD and Blu-ray content. I bumped up those settings dramatically to take advantage of the horsepower in my server, since all it's doing is feeding me movies, and I didn't have any issues for the rest of the movie, but that's when I started researching why it was having to transcode anything at all.Toggle table of contents sidebar MakeMKV # I went to my server and found the Transcode settings on minimal effort, which was not enough to convert the DTS audio track to DD+ on the fly while ripping a disc, apparently. The thing that made me really dig in and check what was happening with the audio is that I was trying to watch Pirate Radio the other night, which is only 1080p, and it was stuttering.

I can't remember exactly what I grabbed from that one, I've ripped so many in the past month. When you ripped the disc, did you select everything on it, or did you pick and choose which titles to grab? Some discs have 'spoof' information in them, so it's possible you ripped the wrong title.

If you're streaming Wi-fi, it's also then probably down-converting the video to something it can push through your wi-fi. With the AppleTV, it's already having to transcode the audio somewhere, likely on your Plex server machine. How are the AppleTVs connected to the network? Wi-fi would be a stretch for UHD without transcoding.
