What does failure look like?

Post by kirby »

As test to see if I want to buy MakeMKV, I'm planning on ripping a bunch of discs one after the other over the course of a few days with the Linux cmdline version. What I'd like to know is how do I know if the decryption and rip was successful? If MakeMKV can't do something will it report an error? Or, will the video just be incorrect somehow in some random bits of the movie?

I won't be able to watch every title all the way through before the 30 days is up. Can I just assume that if MakeMKV completes successfully that everything is OK?

You don't have to: MakeMKV is free while in beta

Right really the payment isn't the primary reason. I want to put these back in the box in the garage and I don't want to find out two months from now when we sit down to watch something that the latest Disney disc works until 1hr into the movie. I had the impression BD+ protections used some mechanism that would produce a valid video stream with unwatchable bits.

That's good news. So MakeMKV will know when it can successfully decrypt something and it'll give up and yell at me.

Hi!
If MakeMKV can't do something will it report an error?
Yes - and if you keep the "Debug log" turned on, should a problem arise, additional coded information will be generated that you can submit here for further analysis and explanation...
