MakeMKV 1.18.1 archives double-compressed
Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2025 4:06 pm
The releases of MakeMKV for Linux were run through with GZip twice, making unarchiving them fail if you just use (for example)
To work around this, run "gunzip" on the archive, then rename the files to add the ".gz". Verify with the "file" command (it reads the file to verify what they actually are).
Code: Select all
tar xfvz makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar.gz
