MacOS X MakeMKV – Copying your Blu-Ray to your hard-driveĪfter an hour or so (depending on the speed of your Blu-Ray drive and your computer of course) MakeMKV will be done and have produced one or more MKV files.Īs you might have noticed, the copying process does not seem to exceed 2-speed, even though your Blu-Ray drive might be a lot faster. My laptop did it in just a little over an hour (about half the time of the playback time of the movie!). Ripping of the Blu-Ray will now start, and depending on your computer it can take a while. When you’ve completed making your selection, click “ Make MKV” button ( 3). Note that the ripped file(s) will be pretty big, so make sure you have at least 40Gb free space on the selected location. Next step is to decide where the rip will be placed on your hard-drive ( 2). When I ripped only the subtitles I wanted, in MakeMKV, then all subtitles had their proper language names (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese) in HandBrake. Either way will work – However, it appears that selecting the audio tracks and subtitles in MakeMKV already produces a better description when the MKV get’s opened in HandBrake.įor example: When I ripped “everything”, all subtitles in HandBrake were called “English”. You can of course just ripped it all and make your choices in HandBrake instead. For example enable/disable certain audio tracks, and subtitles. You can, optionally, check or uncheck sub-items of a title. You can optionally uncheck the 3 small ones – or not and see later what they are really about. The other 3 are probably extras or menu’s (only a few hundred MB). MakeMKV by default checks all titles, but by the size you can se that the first title is the featured movie (35.1 GB). In the example above you’ll see that after a few seconds MakeMKV found 4 titles ( 1) – Check the titles and sub-items you’d like to rip. MacOS X MakeMKV – Detected titles on your Blu-Ray disc Most Linux distributions, like Ubuntu, come with some sorts of package management tool, where APT is probably one of the most popular ones. To install HandBrake for Ubuntu (11+) open a shell and type: Since MakeMKV is dealing with this part (the decrypting of the disc), this addon is not needed. Note that in the articles where we use HandBrake to rip DVD’s, an additional library needs to be installed called “libdvdcss”. HandBrake can be downloaded from Tweaking 4All, but we recommend that you get the latest version from the HandBrake website. Linux user should you follow the MakeMKV forum instructions. MakeMKV is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS X. After 30 days you’ll have to reinstall it and another 30 day “trial” will work. MakeMKV is free at the moment, not sure if that will change in the future, but it has a 30 day use limit. The MKV file(s) MakeMKV creates however are huge (30 Gb and more) as it’s a full, not transcoded, copy of your DVD or Blu-Ray disc. The HandBrake conversion is optional, since MakeMKV already creates and MKV. HandBrake is totally free and an awesome tool to rip DVD’s and convert video files (guides: MacOS X, Windows, Linux). To copy or rip a Blu-Ray to MP4 or MKV we will use both MakeMKV and HandBrake – both are free. MakeMKV will decode the Blu-ray video and stream it to VLC.Method: Rip with MakeMKV and Convert with HandBrake Sudo apt-get install makemkv-bin makemkv-oss sudo add-apt-repository ppa:heyarje/makemkv-beta If you need to play a wider variety of Blu-ray discs, there’s another method that people report more success with: you can use MakeMKV to decode the Blu-ray and VLC to play it as it’s being decoded. One thing that does work is to decode the BD. BDs are also meant to have encryption so it has been implemented a lot better.Īnd the need to crack BDs is not there anymore since there are alternatives. BDs have better security and playback of encrypted BDs is up to how well the encryption can be cracked. You need to pay for additional 3rd party software (mostly supplied with the hardware where the fee is included when you buy the license for the software) and that software has a limited functionality: BD playback software for W7 does not work on W10 you need a new version (and might need to pay for that))ĭVDs used to be a problem before the encryption got cracked. (off topic side note: Windows does not have BD playback support either they too refuse to pay the license. The encryption on DVDs has been cracked a while ago (and that type of media was not meant to have encryption). The issue is ALSO the case for DVDs though: the tools you install are not from Canonical but 3rd party. Canonical would be liable if it added support for BD without paying for a license. The general consensus is that we do not pay for licenses.
