I have been using MakeMKV for Ubuntu for about 4 years. Ubuntu recently adapted Snap, which I hate with the burning passion of a thousand suns, mostly because I always have problems with the Snap version of MakeMKV. About once a year, I will reinstall my Ubuntu system, and every time I do this I giv...

Is there any way to configure MakeMKV to NOT fail on an input/output error? Maybe just leave a blank spot in the video when that happens? I have a disc where I am getting input/output errors with just nine seconds left in the movie, and MakeMKV is totally failing as a result. I really do not care if...

I am using Ubuntu Mate. Completion percentages are displayed in the bottom application bar, but not all the time. If I click on a MakeMKV instance, the completion percentage goes away, for whatever reason. Any way to keep it around all the time?

Two things can happen, either the discs can be authored with the episodes out of order, or MakeMKV can get the order wrong. It would be nice if MakeMKV maintained a disc database with helpful information - once such piece of info could be whether the disc is from a TV series, in which case it could...

I inherited the complete disc collection for the TV show Lost on DVD from my brother. I have never watched this show. I discovered recently that my mother-in-law likes this show, and decided to rip all the discs to my Plex server so she can watch them more easily. Naturally, MakeMKV rips to files wi...

I have been using MakeMKV on a system running Ubuntu 20.04, and I like it a LOT. I have been using it to rip my DVD and Blu-Ray collection to a private Plex media server. My only beef with MakeMKV is that the files it produces are very, very big. A Blu-Ray disc can typically produce a 40-50GB file, ...

I appreciate the responses, but a kind person on the ffmpeg mailing list helped me out. I did not realize that MakeMKV is producing mpeg2 streams in a MKV container. I simply replaced "h264_cuvid" with "mpeg2_cuvid". Like this: ffmpeg -y -hwaccel cuvid -c:v mpeg2_cuvid -vsync 0 -...

I have been ripping my large library of DVDs and BluRays to a Plex media library, with MakeMKV. MakeMKV works wonderfully, except that the files are rather large. A Blu-Ray file can typically be about 40-50GB, and a DVD file about 6GB. That is much too big. I have been trying to use ffmpeg to recomp...
