Ok guys. Here's the story - first thanks to the developers for this great software

I've tried to pass the following command to makemkvcon (in linux) to no avail

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon --profile=/usr/share/MakeMKV/profile.mmcp.xml 

The above command just outputs

Code: Select all

Commands:
  info <source>
      prints info about disc
  mkv <source> <title id> <destination folder>
      saves a single title to mkv file
  stream <source>
      starts streaming server
  backup <source> <destination folder>
      backs up disc to a hard drive

Source specification:
  iso:<FileName>    - open iso image <FileName>
  file:<FolderName> - open files in folder <FolderName>
  disc:<DiscId>     - open disc with id <DiscId> (see list Command)
  dev:<DeviceName>  - open disc with OS device name <DeviceName>

Switches:
  -r --robot        - turn on "robot" mode, see http://www.makemkv.com/developers

However the below code executes fine.

Code: Select all

makemkvcon -r --cache=1 info disc:9999

I'm using a feodora based version of linux

It's giving you a usage message because you didn't give it any commands. You're probably looking for the "mkv" command. something like

Code: Select all

makemkvcon --profile=/usr/share/MakeMKV/profile.mmcp.xml  mkv disc:0 all /path/to/destination

See http://www.makemkv.com/developers/usage.txt. Sudo is not necessary or desired.

Hmm.. thanks. This cleared things up!

I've made a new profile. But I need to configure makemkv to use this profile when ripping.
I don't know how to do this from the command line - but that's what I'm trying to do.
