dvd backup is the name of the linux program?

I still get get around it while I have both windows and linux. But If I like to have the 1.00 firmware to, I guess I have to purchase again right?

Yes and 1.00 is even better.


Marty?
Bought your 1.03 version a while ago when I was using mainly Windows 11. Now I am using Ubuntu as main, any need to switch to 1.00 for by BU40N slim?
Thank you in advance.


Not unless you have read issues.


Hello Marty,
Thank you. Does this count ...

Ubuntu 24.04
MakeMKV 18.4 Linux compiled from source, from this website
BU40N with 1.03 firmware (reflashed from 1.05, which was original)

Problem: Linux cannot read the disc and keeps skipping, restarting, retrying. But windows 11 can read it with same drive , no problems.
Is this because of the ...

ok, then I stay with my Ubuntu FFMpeg version that was pre-compiled.

It seems it can break software. If software is upgraded from one major to another major version: 6.x to 7.x. Some ...

Installed the MakeMKV with the instructions, but cannot install FFMpeg latest version:

My version after a default Ubuntu 24.04 install:
dpkg -l "*avcodec*" | grep ii

The instructions in here are to vague. I really have no clue where to execute the command to create an symbolic link.
I do not care if I have double the same files, I just need it to work.

Just made an ISO of the movie Birds of pray 2019. Watched it, no problemo. If anyone have a difficult one and likes me to try creating an ISO, please ask, I can see if I have that movie in my posession.

MakeMKV version 1.18.1
Watched through VLC connected to MakeMKV. MakeMKV has the option to ...

Hello people,

Just wanted to say, if you have a DVD writer / reader around and lots of DVDs. Try to use a normal DVD writer / reader with MakeMKV instead of your more expensive Libre drive Bluray writer / reader. More economic.

I have a SE-208 from Saumsung lying around and tried with a B movie ...

Any cheaper usb 3.x cable will work. No need to buy an expensive one. It happened only once, maybe it was not inserted correctly. And the 2ndtime it was ok.

Dont buy any usb 2.0. Price difference betweeen 2.0 and 3.x is very low.

Where are the decoders? I tried one time without the MakeMKV option "Decrypt video files" and VLC could not play them.
But if I rip with the option "Decrypt video files" enabled, then VLC can play them

Above I enabled in MAKEMKV, the integration with VLC 32 bit.

What step(s) are needed to let ...

(Please pin this one on top in forum, thank you)

In case people do not know, playing the movies ripped is actually very easy in VLC.

- Download only the VLC 32 bit, 64 bit won't work (I have not tried extensively to configure that)
- After installing VLC 32 bit, re-start or open MakeMKV
- In ...

ISO has it's benefits:

- 1 file only
- dvd / bluray menu intact
- movie files sometimes cut into a billion pieces and you can hunt down the order of things

DVD is by default ripped as iso, perfect.
Bluray not. It just creates the folders and files.
So I use IMGBurn to re-create MakeMKV output as ...

Thank you also,

I also bought the license. My old laptop will be reformatted back to factory state, that means I can easily register my other copy, on my new laptop with just the key.
That is nice and easy for us honest consumers.

EaseUS for example, you have to contact the customer service every ...
