Will this work to rip Blu Rays using MakeMKV? null

Personnally I'd prefer DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper to rip and convert Blu-ray discs. It's quick and convenient, and it also outputs great quality.

Yes, I use this drive to rip Blu-Rays on my Mac with MakeMKV. Just plug and play.

Yes, I've used it for over a year with MakeMKV while still in the case (where you plug it in via USB like normal) and then I cracked open the case after any warranty was gone and installed the drive inside my laptop to replace its DVD drive, been like that for a couple years now. Now I'm not limited by the little bit of USB 2.0 bottleneck. Either way yes it works fully with MakeMKV, no "riplock" that slows the rip down.

The LG 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black, Model # BP50NB40 will write to BD-R (DL), BD-R (SL), BD-RE (SL/DL/TL), BD-R (LTH), BD-R (TL), BD-R(QL), CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R (SL), DVD+R (DL), DVD+RW, DVD+R (SL), DVD-R (DL), DVD-RAM, M-DISC DVD(DVD+RSL), DVD-RW, and M-Disc BD (BD-R SL) discs. It comes with a Blu-ray Drive Install Disc for Windows (Power DVD, Power 2 Go, Power Producer, and Media Espresso). MKV is a container file format, capable of holding an unlimited number of video, audio, and subtitle tracks, along with any metadata. It is open and free so it is supported by nearly every software player and many hardware devices. Many hardware players do not play MKV directly - for that MKV files need to be transcoded into a format that particular hardware player understands. Since all meta information is preserved in MKV and compressed media data (video, audio, subtitles) and is not changed in any way, it is always possible to transcode MKV files into the original format. For example, MKV files produced from a Blu-ray disc may be transcoded back to a Blu-ray image or set of M2TS files without any losses by freeware transcoding tools. However, the discs are protected by technological measures preventing unauthorized duplication (including, but not limited to, "Cinavia" technology). MakeMKV doesn't remove such measures, so MKV file produced from a commercial Blu-ray disc will not play on a Blu-ray player, even when converted back to M2TS format...^IFV
