Now I typically use MakeMKV to rip from any I long used Handbrake to rip and encode from DVDs, but could notĬontinue to use it for Blu-rays. MakeMKV is "try out then buy" software for ripping media from DVD and Blu-rayĭisks. Copy protection S'up with what's on this disk? The Ubuntu community mostly praises snap, especially regarding the fact it can provide new program versions in old/LTS releases and a method of installation that should help the user avoid worries about dependencies and such.Table of Contents Installing/Updating MakeMKV Step 1: Downloads Step 2: Unpack Step 3: apt update and packages Step 4: Build and install makemkv-oss Step 5: Build and install makemkv-bin Step 6: Build with latest libavcodec Step 7: Build and add ccextractor to preferences Step 8: Configure with ffmpeg Step 9: Clean-up First exercise in ripping Second exercise in ripping MakeMKV decoding of the Blu-ray Handbrake encoding of result Conclusion A ripping example. So, I do have alternatives, but I want to know how a snap like the aforementioned one is supposed to work in Ubuntu. (I bet the Windows version run in Wine would see the drive, but I was hoping to avoid using Wine, not to mention the fact that I use dual-boot with Windows and I could go there etc. How is it supposed to work? I mean, is this expected behavior? Is there a problem with this specific snap? Could the flatpack version work better? The Snapcraft page promotes the application in its normal use to "Backup your DVD and Bluray discs". But what's the purpose of a snap of MakeMKV that doesn't see the optical drive? I have heard about snap programs not seeing the system but I have imagined that could be by design, at least in some cases (a program might want to "see" just what it needs etc). Trying to navigate manually to the drive, the /media folder is not seen. I ended up with a program that starts but doesn't react to the presence of a DVD. Installing MakeMKV took about 30 minutes with two errors of the form error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Download snap "makemkv" (351) from channel "stable" (download too slow: 0.00 bytes/sec) which made me restart the installation twice.) (So, once again I went against my better judgement based on much past experience and installed snapd etc. Snap seemed to me the easiest way to install MakeMKV.
