I take ''Eventually MakeMKV will not require administrator privileges to run.'' to mean when it crosses over to STABLE?! But even before then, would ''administrator privileges'' stop it from becoming PAF-able?! Eventually MakeMKV will not require administrator privileges to run. This is limitation of Windows SCSI application programming interface. Other: There are Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X versions (I know, PA.c only deal w/ Windows Ĭomputer administrator privileges are required on Windows to run the beta version.
