I've had decent luck with playing 3D bluray on my PC using video glasses or reencoding the movies for playback on a VR headset. That's a fairly niche way of doing things, and I don't know much about home theater setups or streaming clients regarding 3D. I'll try to answer with what I know. Playing t...

Having the same problem. I bought the software back in 2015 but can't find the key. Of course the links in the purchase email from back then are not working, nor does the order information work. Does my purchase still account for this version? If so, how can I retrieve my key? The old payment proce...

If your MakeMKV install is registered, the easiest way is to open MakeMKV, go up to Help -> Register on the top menubar. A window will show up with your current key. As for email, my key was sent by "PayPro Global" with the address: sales @ payproglobal.com though keep in mind, my purchase...

To answer the main question: you can just overwrite the existing install to update to a newer version. However ... MakeMKV 1.17.8 just happened to bump up its minimum glibc version as a dependency, meaning your distro needs to be from ~2022 or newer. Since you're on Mint 20, that's going to be a pro...

When I try to Recover to BU40N 1.03 MK, the first weird thing that happens is I click on the bin, click open, and the SDF FLasher (v1.3.5) still shows "please select a firmware to write". So I do it again and this time it appears in the menu. When I click start, it appears to work and is ...

Try my setup process and see if that works: viewtopic.php?p=160864#p160864

I'll jump in and throw some of my own thoughts here. One setting you didn't mention was framerate. Do you generally just leave framerate at default settings? (30, with "peak framerate" box checked) Other sources I read suggested matching the framerate to the framerate of the original video...

First issue: The .tar.gz archives are double compressed so they should've had an extension of .tar.gz.gz to be accurate. You'll need to run gzip -d on both of the archives to undo the first layer of compression, and then you can unpack with tar. Second issue: The "GLIBC 2.33/34 not found" ...

I tried out Xubuntu 24.04 on a virtual machine and haven't ran into issues yet.

Does it always try to update the SDF when you run MakeMKV?
What happens if you turn off "Enable internet access" in the preferences?

Does it get stuck when there's a disc in the drive, or no disc in the drive? Also as a sanity check, see if the SDF was correctly downloaded. Does the sha1 hash match up when you run the command below? tar xf ~/.MakeMKV/_private_data.tar sdf_00000098.bin --to-stdout | sha1sum 0787f0d90e3481f5a99a303...

This is the error from Terminal attempt: Gtk-Message: 16:03:14.996: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module" Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket I get those log messages too, even when MakeMKV opens normally. They don't seem to be related to this issue. A few quest...

In my experience, 15-20 minutes is normal for DVDs and maybe single-layer blurays. 45-60 minutes is typical for dual-layer blurays when ripping on an old drive or mildly dirty/scratched discs. It is possible to encounter shows that spread episodes between dual and single layer bluray discs. For exam...

Can you run it from a terminal to see if any log messages come up? Use this command: flatpak run com.makemkv.MakeMKV You could also try temporarily removing the config data in ~/.MakeMKV to see if it runs on a fresh setup. If that doesn't work, check if makemkvcon is accessible. alternate command: f...

I'm also running an older distro and ran into this problem. My solution to it won't be pretty but it works. You don't need to upgrade GNU libc at the system level, but you will need a local copy to run with MakeMKV. This assumes you have installed gcc to compile code, and patchelf for some executabl...

To take the question a step further, is there a general consensus used on MakeMKV forums. As in, do people tend to preserve the 3D portion, or just rip it without? It's my understanding that 3D TV's never really took off, but I didn't know if preserving the 3D data stream might potentially be usefu...
