There are no magic one size fits all encoder settings. However, video encoding is much more complex than many new to it assume. It works with Wine AFAIK.īTW do you just want to copy or also compress the video files? Makemkv won't do that. The best option there is probably running DVDFab Free Decrypter in Wine. Linux DVD rippers don't have very up to date decryption so things like makemkv can fail. I then installed Ubuntu-restricted-extras in Software Manager, and used the Console to type the three command lines you gave - and voila ! MakeMKV is now installed !

To easily install "MakeMKV" using the PPA method, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click "Select All" above command, right click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste (or Shift+Insert), repeat for each command. "MakeMKV" is probably the best DVD/Bu-Ray ripper, but you are limited with Blu-Ray discs to a certain resolution like 720p, if you do not buy the full version which is well worth their price (DVD's are not limited).

"Thoggen" does not seem to be maintained since 2009? Have you installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" from the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)? If not, I recommend doing that. This program is great for ripping homemade discs too. If you run " inxi -Fxzd" and " lsusb" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.įirst, there are many posts in this forum on Ripping (backing up or digitizing) your DVD & Blu-Ray discs, if you search for them.ĭisclaimer: You have to know whether it is legal or not in your country to backup your store bought movie discs. It would help to know more about your system setup. I just read your post and the good replies to it. Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum!
