My laptop did it in just a little over an hour (about half the time of the playback time of the movie!). Ripping of the Blu-Ray will now start, and depending on your computer it can take a while. When you’ve completed making your selection, click “ Make MKV” button ( 3). Note that the ripped file(s) will be pretty big, so make sure you have at least 40Gb free space on the selected location. Next step is to decide where the rip will be placed on your hard-drive ( 2). When I ripped only the subtitles I wanted, in MakeMKV, then all subtitles had their proper language names (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese) in HandBrake. Either way will work – However, it appears that selecting the audio tracks and subtitles in MakeMKV already produces a better description when the MKV get’s opened in HandBrake.įor example: When I ripped “everything”, all subtitles in HandBrake were called “English”. You can of course just ripped it all and make your choices in HandBrake instead.

For example enable/disable certain audio tracks, and subtitles. You can, optionally, check or uncheck sub-items of a title. You can optionally uncheck the 3 small ones – or not and see later what they are really about. The other 3 are probably extras or menu’s (only a few hundred MB).

MakeMKV by default checks all titles, but by the size you can se that the first title is the featured movie (35.1 GB). In the example above you’ll see that after a few seconds MakeMKV found 4 titles ( 1) – Check the titles and sub-items you’d like to rip. MacOS X MakeMKV – Detected titles on your Blu-Ray disc
#MAKEMKV FOR LINUX INSTALL#
Most Linux distributions, like Ubuntu, come with some sorts of package management tool, where APT is probably one of the most popular ones. To install HandBrake for Ubuntu (11+) open a shell and type: Since MakeMKV is dealing with this part (the decrypting of the disc), this addon is not needed. Note that in the articles where we use HandBrake to rip DVD’s, an additional library needs to be installed called “libdvdcss”. HandBrake can be downloaded from Tweaking 4All, but we recommend that you get the latest version from the HandBrake website. Linux user should you follow the MakeMKV forum instructions. MakeMKV is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS X. After 30 days you’ll have to reinstall it and another 30 day “trial” will work. MakeMKV is free at the moment, not sure if that will change in the future, but it has a 30 day use limit. The MKV file(s) MakeMKV creates however are huge (30 Gb and more) as it’s a full, not transcoded, copy of your DVD or Blu-Ray disc.

The HandBrake conversion is optional, since MakeMKV already creates and MKV. HandBrake is totally free and an awesome tool to rip DVD’s and convert video files (guides: MacOS X, Windows, Linux).
#MAKEMKV FOR LINUX MP4#
To copy or rip a Blu-Ray to MP4 or MKV we will use both MakeMKV and HandBrake – both are free.
#MAKEMKV FOR LINUX FULL#
The freeware version comes with full features and unlimited functionality for BDs and DVDs.Method: Rip with MakeMKV and Convert with HandBrake The MakeMKV is available for Windows, Linux and Apple OSX and is currently offered as freeware, with optional development support payment. I don’t have a BD-drive handy, so I cannot comment how well does it handle Blu-ray discs, but according to website documentation the level of support is good. MakeMKV supports most copy protections, but unfortunately it seems to have issues with certain advanced DVD protection schemes. This way you can leave out promotional materials and extras to save space. MakeMKV scans your disc, after which you will choose the titles and tracks to include in your copy. The user interface and flow of the ripping process is well thought and simple.

Playback support is good as for example VLC media player has great support of MKV files on PC and Android devices. MKV files can store multiple audio tracks, like different languages, keeping everything in a single file. This means that the process is fast and the quality is identical to the original video and audio tracks - there is absolutely no loss of quality. The beauty of the process is that it does not re-encode the audio or video tracks, but only wraps them into the versatile MKV ( Matroska) container format. The MakeMKV rips your video discs on your computer’s hard drive as MKV files. MakeMKV fits this description perfectly in the art of ripping video discs to your computer. I am a big fan of software solutions that do one thing right.
