It certainly compiles and runs just fine on a Pi-5 running Pi OS 6.1, which is essentially just vanilla Debian Trixie with a Pi kernel and a few Pi utilities.

have been provided for both the armhf and arm64 ABI/architectures for several years now Boy am I red... stop, load brain before shooting off mouth. I must have just ignored the arm binaries when I first installed it on my X86 Linux box, and then forgot they were there. But there they are, big as li...

As per title. Lot of great ARM machines - it would be great to get the binary of this compiled for it.

I ended up going with a hybrid approach. I've picked up a much larger hard drive for my NAS as suggested and am making BDISOs of my BD collection. But for most of my UHD titles I'm also rolling with physical copies. For one, some of those titles are expensive and I want a physical backup. For anothe...

I have two decrypted Blu-Rays that were burned onto BD-R. On one, MakeMKV gives me this data: Disc Information Label: 4U1454 Timestamp: 2025-07-02 10:52:40 Data capacity: 39.27 Gb Disc type: BD-R Number of layers: 2 Channel bit length: 74,5 nm (25.0 GB max. per layer) On the other I get simply this:...

Personally I don't want an .iso and I'm annoyed that DVD backups automatically create them. :) I'm hesitant to rip DVDs because of this :-/. I have a little 3 or 4 line script that can rip and extract them, but I still don't like it because you still need that intermediate .iso file :-/. If you wan...

I’d like to play an AACS v81 Blu-ray disc on my Linux machine. By "play," I mean the following process: https://web.archive.org/web/20250923123754/https://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/ . Outside what has been already discussed, since you'rr able to successfully rip the disc, you can also si...

I'm very aware of how to burn this. Just in likely 99.9% of cases, the backup feature will be used to go to an ISO. Either for someone wanting BDISO or to burn to physical disc. It would be nice if it happened in one step in MakeMKV. Or at least have the option.

It bears mentioning that BDXL and UHD are different beasts. Physically, three-layer BDXL and UHD are almost identical, both using 33.3GB per layer and slightly shorter pits and lands than normal. But the BDA wanted to protect itself and licensed them separately. Any drive that is physically capable ...

I don't get it, though I have avoided casing up some cheap drives from the red flags of the listings (Chinese, too cheap, too many available, and sharing identical photo sets). AliExpress and eBay both are very strict, and side with the buyer pretty much every time, forcing either no physical retur...

It would be a handy feature if MakeMKV could, when it creates a backup, create it right to an ISO.

That's great. I've seen my LG WH16NS60 reach 11.4x or so on UHD 100GB discs. Your Asus, under the hood, is an LG WH16NS40 I think, so you may see faster rips yet. I'm not sure if MakeMKV by default limits the read rate on that drive or not. But you might see even faster rips if you unchain the read ...

the proliferation of Chinese sellers on eBay (I smell fakes but could be wrong) What is happening on eBay and Ali Express is they have smelled chum in the water. They get their hands on something like a BDR-PR1JAME, an essentially useless drive, and they sell them with the note "We have variou...

So nobody plays off optical any more? The movies I care enough about to have on UHD.... I dunno. I can't bring myself to re-encode those. Goldfinger, Wrath of Khan, The Abyss... the idea of re-encoding them for myself hurts. For example, I have never been able to re-encode the Abyss at any bitrate f...

Somewhat off topic, but I'm curious what people use, if anything, for UHD playback solutions for ripped/duplicated (decrypted) discs? I'm fairly late to the game for UHD. The prevailing storage method seems to be hard-drive/NAS of either full-size or re-encoded ripped .mkv files. I have 8TiB for my ...
