Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6th April 2025.

6th April, 2025.

Right … 

I’ve had issues, over the past few days, with the blu-ray ripper, MakeMKV.

After it had issues ripping a 4k disc, it then got thrown further off-piste … by an update from Apple!

Not something I was expecting!

But it was something I was expecting to do what it did: generate a lot of discussion on the relevant MakeMKV forum.

However?

An updated version of MakeMKV has been issued: hopefully, it will work.

Just as a last thought … ?

My nephew, Jude, was over, yesterday.

Yep: there’s another video done!
