Hey, Lincoln Region 2 Blu-ray lists half a dozen titles, seemingly the same. Which one should I choose in these scenarios? I just picked a random one when I ripped mine and ended up with one where Spielberg starts the introduction with something like 'Hello Japan' - my guess is that the only differ...

1.8.6 installed fine and ran fine on my system. 1.8.7 wil not install. ./configure bash: ./configure: Permission denied Do not run configure with sudo - if you get a permission denied then something has already gone wrong. Potentially if you have used sudo when extracting the tarballs. I have just ...

Hi i bought a makemkv key and now i might have to reinstall my linux setup, so what do i have to do to keep my key after reinstallation? Personally, I always back up the ~/.MakeMKV folder, and restore that after a reinstall. You don't need the entire folder, but only the *.conf files therein. I am ...

how do you update makemkv on linux? Just download the new tarballs, extract, make, install... i.e. same instructions as when you did the original install - except you may want to double check the dependencies listed on the build page to ensure you have all dependencies for the new version available.

ffmpeg or avconv. I use avconv for all non-mkv to mkv conversions.

That is because you misunderstood the command to use - i.e. it is not two lines but rather a single long "sudo apt-get install" command: You should have use: sudo apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt4-dev All on a single line. You can spl...

You get VobSub subtitles from DVDs but PGS subtitles from blu rays.
In order to use either on my Samsung TV, I convert to SRT; which unfortunately is a semi-manual process.

I can only really speak for my own USB drive, which is an LG super multi blue. I have not had any problems with it (other than some kernel versions freezing when attaching it with eSATA cable rather than USB, but no issues when using USB cable). I have read in other forums that LG drives supposedly ...

(Sorry for potential duplicate response - but posted a link in previous response and it's waiting on moderator). Anyway. Just wanted to ensure that you read the thread "MakeMKV has stopped being able to open Blu-Ray discs", and confirm that you are using the latest version of MakeMKV (curr...

A USB drive works fine with MakeMKV (I have both an internal and external USB blu ray drive). However, before you run off and get yourself a new drive, please check the thread "MakeMKV has stopped being able to open Blu-Ray discs" (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5847) - if you have had a new blu ...

Sounds like the drive doesn't recognise the blu ray disk as a valid disk - what blu ray drive do you have in your laptop?

You shouldn't need anything other than MakeMKV - I use MakeMKV under Ubuntu, and cannot play blu rays through VLC either; but have no problem using MakeMKV to create MKV copies of blu ray disks. Once MakeMKV has been started and you put a blu ray disk in the drive, what output do you see in MakeMKV?...

I cannot spot what's wrong but for what it's worth, I compile it no problem under 12.10 (64 bit), so it's not an issue with the MakeMKV files. I just recompiled to be sure that no issue has been introduced by a more recent update to 12.10 - but MakeMKV compiles fine using gcc 4.7.2-2ubuntu1. Maybe t...

To unpack the tarball you need to use the tar command. The file extension(s) ".tar.gz" means that it's a tar file that has been compressed - to extract the files for 1.7.9, simply go to the directory where you downloaded the files and issue the commands: tar xvzf makemkv-oss-1.7.9.tar.gz t...

Personally, I've had experience with two blu ray drives under Linux - first an external LG Super Multi Blue burner, and then an internal Samsung SH-B123L. I cannot vouch for the LG drive and MakeMKV compatibility since I didn't discover MakeMKV until after getting the Samsung drive, and don't really...
