![]() ![]() And, more fundamentally, how difficult to remove / upgrade. Still will like to know about them 12.5m height 1TBs though. Recover storage space and the most efficient way to deal with the optical disk side of the equation. Store the ISOs on inexpensive 500GB 2.5" drives, mount the ISOs, and voila! ready to go!! Delete the ISOs of movies you didn't like so much and don't ever intend to watch again. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, you can convert / downsize Blu-Ray movies from 50GB or whatever to a more manageble, less overhead, but still very good quality, say, 8GB. I have it primarily for archival purposes anyway moreso then watching movies. My external Buffalo Blu-Ray drive not only handles Blu-Ray but is also backward compatible with DVDs anyway. Done! Given the fact I have the server model there is no slot to accommodate the internal for one. Nonetheless, the higher data density I think will sufficiently offset the somewhat loss in rotational numbers.Īs for the optical drives, there is a very easy solution (at least for me). it surely would be nice to up the ante on the internal space from 1TB to 2TB, albeit a drop in speed from 7200 to 5400rpm. I have the exact same question about 12.5mm 1TB drives fitting or not. So I'll probably stick with Win 10 on my desktop, and the new M2 MacBook Air as my laptop.I just purchased the MacMini (mid-2010) Server edition. Overall I would say that I can pretty much do most things I need on a Mac, but it's harder to get everything set up, and the experience is a bit glitchy. mkvtoolnixGUI seems ok so far, which is essential for me. no button for quick access to the disc menu, I have to get to the disc menu via the VLC menu, which is a bit tedious. I have also found that VLC on macOS does not seem to have an option for the advanced playback controls, e.g. Since Mac Blu Ray Player is an expensive app designed to play Blu-Rays, it doesn’t make much sense to buy it if you only need to play MKV. After loading the Blu-ray disc, a Blu-ray menu will appear. Select the Blu-ray disc and click on 'OK' to continue. Then the program will pop up a window for you to choose. Then click 'Open Disc' button to load the Blu-ray movie. I found discs where the menus load ok, but I also have a disc where VLC cannot open the menu and goes straight to the film on macOS, but on Windows the menu opens fine. Apart from Blu-Ray movie disks, Mac Blu Ray Player lets you play popular video formats, including MKV. After the download and installation process, launch VideoByte Blu-ray Player on your Mac. I then had to tackle Java for bluray menus, and eventually found a JDK which seems to work fairly well, i.e. Oddly, since then the makemkv checkbox has stayed in the on position in App Management, so eventually it stuck. Eventually I discovered I needed to give the Terminal application its own full-disc privileges, and then I was able to create the link, and VLC player can now decrypt. Even creating the link was a pain, since even with "sudo" I was getting permission denied messages. In the end I found instructions to create a symolic link in the VLC folder so it could find the makemkv decryption library. ![]() I too had a lot of trouble to get the makemkv App Management approval to stick in Ventura, every time I enabled it, it would spontaneously disable soon afterwards. I acquired my first Mac over the holidays and have been evaluating to see if I would consider a Mac desktop as a "daily driver" in place of Windows. ![]()
