So that you know what you're asking your computer to do, the 'cd' command just changes your directory (with ~ meaning 'home'), the 'mkdir' command just creates a new folder and the 'ln -s' command creates a symlink (similar to a shortcut) to make these libraries visible in a spot that OS X would look. Ln -s /Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/lib/libmmbd.dylib ~/lib/libbdplus.dylib Ln -s /Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/lib/libmmbd.dylib ~/lib/libaacs.dylib The instructions (from this MakeMKV thread, also penned by Mike Chen) are to go to the Terminal and type the following (each of the 4 commands on their own separate line, followed by return): cd ~ This is the magic that will let Handbrake see your Blu-ray disks directly. Once you've copied MakeMKV to your Applications folder, you need to point the OS at a special library baked inside of MakeMKV. You can get an updated key at any time during this extended beta directly from MakeMKV (or, you know, you can buy it and support its development ). The first two are completely free, the last is a paid app but Mike Chen, MakeMKV's author, has said that all of its features will remain free while in beta.

To do this, you first need to download and put Handbrake, VLC and MakeMKV into your Mac's Applications folder. What many users don't realize, though, is that MakeMKV can be invoked on-the-fly to allow Handbrake to rip and convert/compress Blu-ray disks directly. MakeMKV is one such program that will do that Blu-ray conversion. Typically you need to first rip the Blu-ray into some format that Handbrake will understand and then you can convert/compress from there. If you also have VLC installed Handbrake will read DVDs and convert them directly.īlu-ray, disks, however, are not supported directly by this Handbrake/VLC combo, and that makes things frustrating.
