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.
