For Linux, it is seemingly the last known bug free version of makemkvcon.

Thanks. I also wasted a bunch of time on this.

I use thediscdb.com/about to determine what titles I should save. That site displays source files to show what files are actually needed.

It would be nice if that data was a column in the selection area in addition to the existing "Type" and "Description" columns. I am aware that the source file ...

Got it downgraded / changed. Thanks!

Lifted from the guide, using your info, try...

./makemkvcon f -d '/dev_21:2' -f sdf_00000065.bin rawflash enc -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

Thanks but I am still having issues. Could you update your post to link to the guide? It is currently linking this thread.

why dont we use the guide endorsed by the developer thats pinned that has the linux stuff right and up to date....


Sounds good. Where is it? This? Because I downloaded it and its an exe.
Otherwise I looked around the board under LibreDrive Drives and MakeMKV for Linux. Sorry if I missed it but ...

V1.05 is encrypted. You need to add 'enc' to the command line.


I have tried adding enc after the rawflash parameter like I read in a post above -

sudo makemkvcon f -f sdf_00000065.bin -d /dev/sr0 rawflash enc -i HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin

I followed these steps and got a "Done Successfully" message. However my firmware does not appear to have changed.

Thanks for your response. I should have been more clear. The error prevented Makemkv from even creating a folder let alone starting the ripping process. It just bombed immediately.

For me, this was an issue with snap. I have avoided them in the past and so ran into this beginners problem.

sudo snap connect makemkv:removable-media
sudo snap disconnect makemkv:removable-media

I plan on using automatic ripping machine or something like it eventually but these work for now.

I installed Makemkv 1.17.6 onto ubuntu 20.04.6 via snap. My OS and ~ are on a tiny drive. I changed my "Defalut destination" to "SemiAuto" and then entered a different disk as the path.

When I rip a blue ray I get this error
