Re: Is there a preferred Linux release that MakeMKV works best with?

Frankly, what differentiates various GNU/Linux distributions ? The user interface mostly. So if you have the proper libraries MakeMKV is built upon, you're safe on this side. Kernel and system libraries are mostly the same across distributions so you'll be perfectly safe whatever one you choose. It ...

Re: Problem after backup

I don't know. I clicked on the backup icon. (the one with the arrow pointing to the open folder).
I'll try again tomorrow and see what gives.
Edit : i did this on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using the latest Make MKV version.

Problem after backup

Hello Guys, I've tried to backup a Blu-Ray movie "The Spy gone north" A Korean film. Backup went smoothly and reported no errors. But I can't visualise any m2ts file with VLC. All I get is the yellow band moving from right to left and left to right on the progress bar. The total play time ...

Re: PPA Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Support

Same here! The snap version complains that it can't get full access to the DVD/BluRay drives. I already have to use the mozilla version of FireFox, because of sandboxing issues. Hello There are fixes for the permission problems of the Firefox snap involving ... flatpack tools. Google it. (I've used...

Re: KEYDB.cfg, Disc Identifiers and MakeMKV dumps

Hello, Even if I'm not a huge user of MakeMKV, I was intrigued by your post. I do not have any KEY.cfg file (nor KEY.CFG or key.cfg) file on my computer. I do not know if this comes from the fact that I run this app under Liunux/Ubuntu or if this file is not needed by MakeMKV ? Maybe someone more kn...

Re: Are there white internal Blu-ray burners?

Hello, Optical drive makers used to sell their internal drives with both a black and a "grey" bezel. Depending on the make of the computer you owned, you put the bezel with the correct colour. I would either ask the maker for a properly coloured bezel Or find a dead drive from the same mak...

Re: How to burn a Blu-ray disc from a backup on Linux ?

I actually used : mkisofs -udf -iso-level "3" -input-charset "utf-8"-V <name of the disc> -allow-limited-size -o <name_of_file_to_create>.iso <source_directory> to generate the ISO file. Then I burned it to a BD using my favourite burning software. (I do not do it on the command ...

Re: Flashing Firmware for Blu-Ray Drive in Linux

Just a note that, reading DVDs, it isn't necessary to install patched firmware. The error you're getting is most likely a "bad" (dirty) sector of the disk. You really only need to change the firmware if you're going to be reading 4K UHD disks. Hello, I second this. All the errors I got re...

Hi Guys, I'm posting here because I do not know where to ask. I've a Blu-ray I love a lot and the disc id dying (a lot of medium errors in a computer drive and seizures in a "plain" player). Fortunately I've made a backup with Make MKV so I've got all the files I need. As the size is less ...
