MakeMKV 1.15.4 rips fine on Win10, not on Debian 10

[psilospiral]

Greetings Forum:

I have just ripped a DVD successfully using MakeMKV 1.15.4 in Win10. I downloaded and compiled the Debian version following instructions found in the forum here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 7e330a57ce

I am now attempting to rip the exact same DVD in Debian, but the process fails. 5 of 6 are successful, but the main movie track fails. I have turned on debug logging and the output is as follows:

Code: Select all

Using direct disc access mode
Title #1 was added (28 cell(s), 1:26:27)
Title #2 was added (2 cell(s), 0:06:55)
Title #3 was added (1 cell(s), 0:07:20)
Title #4 has length of 71 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #5 was added (1 cell(s), 0:02:15)
Title #6 has length of 83 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #7 was added (3 cell(s), 0:04:31)
Title #8 has length of 9 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #10 has length of 1 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped
Title #11 was added (1 cell(s), 0:02:25)

I used stock MakeMKV settings in both OS variants. Does anybody have any idea what may be the problem?

At least temporarily, deselect the Closed Caption track for that title, until you have your path to ccextractor set properly.

In Preferences, under Advanced, try this for ccextractor executable location:

/usr/bin/true

Woodstock:

I would have never guessed the closed caption option would have been stopping the ripping process, so I just ignored that in my trouble shooting. I took your advice and decided to install ccextractor for completeness with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install ccextractor
which ccextractor
/usr/bin/ccextractor

Then I entered that path in makemkv with:

Code: Select all

View>Preferences>General>Expert mode: CHECK
	#	Advanced tab is created
	>Advanced>ccextractor executable location: /usr/bin/ccextractor
		Apply, Ok

After this, I was able to rip the same DVD on Debian without issue!

I want to add that I also had to install libdvdcss before I could even play the DVD on a fresh copy of Debian 10 with:

Code: Select all

#	install libdvdcss
sudo apt install libdvd-pkg
#	select ok ok
#	run below to set automatic upgrades of libdvdcss2
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg

Thank you for your help!
