I downloaded MakeMKV 1.17.7 for MacOS today and I cannot get the app to read a disk. I tried the beta key but I think it expired yesterday, and I tried reinstalling without a key and I get the message
"Evaluation period has expired. Please purchase an activation key if you've found this application useful. you may still use all free functionality without any restrictions'
However when I select OK it still does not allow me to Open a disk (by clicking on the optical drive icon)
Is there anything I'm doing incorrectly?

The beta key expired the end of June; To use the beta version without a new key, you have set your system date set to the end of June, start the program, then you can set the date to current.
Or register. Or wait for the author to post a new beta key.
If you like MakeMKV and you want to use it after your 30-days trial version expires, you need to purchase a registration key. Registration key is valid for all MakeMKV versions on all platforms. There is no expiration time or any subscriptions. MakeMKV is sold as "try-before-you-buy" software.
MakeMKV is better for users who prioritize video quality and speed over large file size. It excels in preserving the original quality of DVDs and Blu-rays and offers faster ripping speeds by avoiding video compression.
MakeMKV supports Blu-ray disc, DVD disc, Bluray files, DVD-VIDEO files, HD-DVD files, ISO files, and MKV files. WinX DVD Ripper doesn't support Bluray discs and Bluray files, but it has a good support for DVD discs, DVD VIDEO_TS folders, and ISO images.
Our number one pick - as it has been for a while - for the best free DVD ripper is unquestionably Handbrake, a powerful piece of open-source software that allows you to save video content in virtually any format. With no limits on file counts or the length of saved videos, it's the most effective free option out there.
Varies with the operating system. But user-modified profile XML files should be stored in the MakeMKV data directory, which is set in Preferences->General.
