Between the studio's pig-headed attitude towards DRM and Richard Stallman's equally pig-headed attitude against DRM both groups have decided that you can't play BluRay on Linux. It's this copy protection that makes playback under Linux a pain. Strict DRM on a consumer product is like a deadbolt on a screen door - it keeps the polite criminals out. The copy protection is embarrassingly strict and shows an incredible lack of knowledge that most piracy is done by a small number of individuals who will ALWAYS be able to break the copy protection without much trouble at all. This is a replication of an old docbook document I had created which started my use of MakeMKV to get rid of all of my physical media (well, at least to put it into a closet as an archive).īluRay stinks. This section is near and dear to many Linux users hearts - playing BluRay discs directly on your Linux distribution.
#Makemkv command line windows install
This will install the necessary dependencies, download the necessary files, compile them, and then move them to where they should go. First you'll need to install my PPA, and then the installer: I've developed an alternative installer which makes things much easier. You can download and install MakeMKV for Linux here, but as you can see it's not as simple as a sudo apt-get install makemkv.
Luckily, while the product is still in beta there is a free key that will unlock the program. Think of it as replacing the need to buy a BluRay player that sits next to your Linux box. Realistically this isn't a huge price to pay and the application can be used to decrypt the BluRay discs to your hard drive as well. Personally I couldn't care less about whether it's open source or not, the application is $50 at the time of this writing. It provides decryption of BluRay discs and is, sadly, not a free application. MakeMKV is the meat of both my ripping and local streaming solutions.
About the only thing that you lose is the DVD navigation, but if you're like me that's a good thing!
#Makemkv command line windows plus
These files are lossless in quality, support multiple audio tracks, plus maintain subtitles. MakeMKV is a way of ripping your DVDs to your hard drive in unencrypted MKV files.
