I had to give up eventually, but then I discovered someone had made a flatpak for it! And it solved all my problems.

First, be sure you started in an empty node when you built
makemkv. If you not sure, just build it again and see what happens.

Ok. What in an empty node in this context?

Yes, there is no libavcodec.so.57 there. Only the ones I've listed. Doesn't seem to be a libavcodec.so.57 anywhere on the file system.

Thanks for the tips. The problem is that makemkv expects libavcodec.so.57 - and I have libavcodec.so.58 This is all the files matching: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so -> libavcodec.so.58.18.100 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.58 -> libavcodec.s...

ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so -> libavcodec.so.58.18.100

Different path, but same version as you.

But how do we solve the problem then? There are several other posts regarding this issue but no definitve solution.

Sorry TimothyTom, better ask in another forum on specific Snap issues.

There's a guy who has made a MakeMKV snap, but it seems to be needing some work yet to be usable unfortunately.

Can someone help him?

I see. Thanks for answering.
So in other words the current MakeMKV is in need of an update ASAP.

Do you know where I can get hold of avcodec57?

I think it would be a good idea to make a snap package for MakeMKV, because there always seems to be some mismatch with installed codec versions, issues with different distros ++. What do you think? It would make my life easier for sure.

Sorry but this doesn't work. I need help. I have installed: libavcodec 58. 18.100 / 58. 18.100 When I do a configure and make install on the OSS, it still complains about /usr/bin/makemkvcon: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or dire...

Thanks for this info, reassuring to know that it's not "actually" 7 years since the last announcement :D I guess it is still safe to buy a license then. He really should put a link to the purchase page on the web, because the expired MakeMKV application just closes itself if you don't have...

My MakeMKV copy has expired and I must now pay. As far as I can see there's no purchase option from the homepage, the last official announcements in the forum is from 2010, and the latest version 1.10.5 is over one year old now and still beta. Is MakeMKV still being supported?

Thanks for both answers

If I purchase MakeMKV, can I use the same key on multiple machines? I've got a Win PC and a Linux PC.
