Makemkv free open source version11/14/2022 mkvtoolnix puts things into MKVs but it doesn't seem to rip (from what I can tell after poking around the GUI for a few mins). VLC can rip but it's really not meant for it and the options aren't great. All there alternatives are either meant for transcoding or are limited in some other way. Are there any libre tools that offer the same functionality (and hopefully ease of use) as propietary MakeMKV?īased on the discussion here, it seems that there's no "drop in" replacement for MakeMKV. I don't mind having to work a bit for my ideology, but I'm not really sure where to start. I know there are tools to work with aacs, vlc is one of them and there was an article in FOSS Force about some other one that the author didn't name out of dmca concerns. Perhaps I'm imagining things but I believe the consensus is that whatever it does is more effective than the decryption provided by libaacs and libbdplus. When using VLC, Handbrake, or K3b, some of them either force remuxing or transcoding (Handbrake, K3b), or they only rip a single title (VLC).įurther, I'm not quite sure what MakeMKV does to circumvent DRM (aside from it's libredrive mode which provides an alternative operations pathway to the drive) but I don't believe it ever fetches decryption keys. With MakeMKV, you put in a disc and it spits out raw MKVs of all the major disc titles. I know there are alternatives, even ones that allow blu-ray ripping (vlc) but it's just not as turn-key or straightforward as MakeMKV. Unfortunately, it's not free (as in freedom) and I'm really trying to keep my setup as free as possible. I've been building a small home theater system and it's served as a wonderful tool that's allowed me to move content from my small disc collection to Jellyfin. MakeMKV is a program that rips DVDs and Blu-rays to a computer.
