Thank you. I've a bunch of sdf_00000NNN.bin in the tar file !

Hi Guys,
Everything is in the title.
I just keep reference of these two files and can't find them on my 1.18.2 installation.
So I would like to know if they are needed and if yes where in Ubuntu/linux installation.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, If you are totally new to Linux, and Ubuntu, my bet is that installing from sources could be too high a step. You are lucky, though, because some of MakeMkv users have made an Ubuntu repository with packages for you to install using one command line. See the maker information here : https://l...

On my Ubuntu (Noble) :

Thanks !

Hello, I've a couple of questions, not entirely related to MakeMkv but... First of all, if I copy a DVD with MakeMkv, it produce an ISO image. so far so good. The original DVD is scrambled. OK. But is the MakeMkv ISO image also scrambled ? And how can I tell ? Another question : Suppose I want to ma...

Hello,
Have you thought that if you move config directories from your home folder to another place, all users on the system will be forced to use YOUR settings ! (and see what they are ...)
Remember that Linux emanate from Unix which is a multi user system ....

Hello, I've no problem (so far) with the latest version on Ubuntu 24.0.3 LTS. May I kindly suggest you install your MakeMkv compiling it yourself from the sources if you did not do so ? This will ensure you get all the dependencies satisfied and that the required libraries linked in the binary are t...

Hello Guys, I've a terrible back pain so I must stay indoor and seated still. What to do when you're in front of a computer ? You play with it. First, I did install ImgBurn on a Virtualbox Windows 11 machine I have. Then I made available the Linux home directory to this machine. And, after backing u...

Hello, Regarding the non functioning eject button of your drive in Linux : This is normal behavior. Once a disc is inserted, the Udev rules scan the disc and try either to mount it (data) or display an icon somewhere on your desktop. Once this icon is displayed, the disc is "locked" and, t...

Ah ?
I did one from a backup BluRay and it plays fine in my Sony player attached to my TV set.
It is the first time I do this, though, so I can't comment on other discs.
Do you know what to do to make a proper BluRay disc ? I'm curious.

Hello, I make a lot of BluRay discs from various documents I own because of the size of them. This is what I use : mkisofs -udf -iso-level "3" -input-charset "utf-8" -V <Name of Disc> -allow-limited-size -o <Name Of ISO File>.iso <Directory containing the data to put into the blu...

Yes, actually it is. You have to be very aware of where your software comes from. Even official packages are at risk. So I would only trust original software either from the official packager or my distribution team (hoping they have audited the code). In the case of MakeMkv, compiling it is very ea...

Hello, MakeMkv is only officially distributed as source code you have to compile yourself and install. It is not that difficult once done it the first time (you have to check and install the required dependencies). I do not know of any Linux distribution providing a version of MakeMkv officially co...

Hello, I'm not fluent on Flatpack software, but if what I know is true, flatpack software is tightly contained and fenced. Your VLC software is not (or is into a different container and thus another fence...) so it can't "reach" the MakeMkv library needed to work with BluRays... You'd bett...
