 Ga> Yep, all good, and I've got it installed and working.  Thanks.

 Ga> Next question...  I've ripped a DVD successfully, and then even transcoded
 Ga> it with Handbrake to get a significantly smaller file size, as you stated.
 Ga> Have tried to do a Bluray movie, and it doesn't find it. In both cases
 Ga> (DVD and BD), I'm using an external (USB connected) drive. Different

 Ga> drive, but doesn't find a movie on it.  The drive is good because I can

 Ga> some difference between DVD and BD in regards to MakeMKV?

DVD and blu-ray should work equally well with MakeMKV, in my experience. Normally if MakeMKV fails, it should output an error - Is there any error when you try to have it find the media on the disk?  Without the error message, it would be hard to tell you what might be wrong.
