MakeMKV is $50?

Make MKV is $50? I could have sworn it was $40. Did they raise the price recently?

It's still in beta so it should be free. Where are you finding $40/$50?

I believe it is only free for 30 days. I'm running the trial presently.

Once the trial period is over (and it only applies to BR capability), Mike (MakeMKV developer) will post a new registration code for you to put in. That will give you another 30 days. Have been doing this for a couple years now. However, I strongly urge everyone who like that app to support his efforts by purchasing the program.

Thanks. Where does he post this code?

I purchased it in April 2011. It was $50 back then, too.

Agreed. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of my $50. No regrets whatsoever.

Wait....you've been accepting free codes for a couple years, but you urge others to support the developer and purchase the program?

Yes, I know that seems odd. I am uncomfortable with the 3rd party that Mike uses for handling payments. It's a personal thing. Others, are very comfortable with the vendor. If he were to work through a different vendor, say PayPal, etc, I would buy in a minute.

So to all those who are ok with who he uses for payment, I encourage you to support the product and I certainly would if payments were made through a more traditional route.

The download page states that you can download it again to reset the timer.

I got a Blu-ray player christmas and I downloaded it to rip my blu-ray library so I still have 29 days left. :-)
