Seeing that DVD are slowly going end-of-live and that you can’t buy a lot of my childhood favorites in german anymore and streams are compressed-to-death (and DRMed), i had a streak of preservia. Which is why i rip a bunch of discs from the library on Linux (yes, legally not ok, but morally just ease of access, i wouldn’t sell them). Since it’s only to watch them when nostalgia hits, i want them in a ready-to-watch format, chose AV1 webm for small size. My burner is LibreDrive-ok ootb, meaning makemkv goes automatically in that mode.
I have the discs for a limited time, so i used to use dvdbackup for DVD and later feed the folder to handbrake for conversion. Now i got a bunch of blu-ray:
- ripping one takes even longer; whole 25 hours; i don’t have the time for the whole LotR series with bonus disks.
makemkvcon backupneeds only about 2 hours per disk, but the resulting folder is 80 GB big; i have only about 250 GB free space ** and the makemkv backup somehow has no audio streams, while handbrake does
While i write this, handbrake is loading the chapters (that alone needs more than 1 hour for blu-ray); i’m trying if a lossless FFV1 mkv conversion (for later re-conversion) takes less long.
Now:
- Any better approach?
- Any way to fix makemkv having no audio? (i could juggle with external disks) I think i have all libraries and the KEYDB.cfg.
Edit: nope, handbrake suddenly has unable to decrypt unit (AACS)
What about https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

Let’s see if i can get it to run without docker. Thanks!
Docker isn’t required for automatic ripping machine. Theres a bare metal install.
What’s wrong with docker?
Need to set it up first, which i don’t want to do for just 1 tool. And i prefer native LXC anyway.
Nothing. People fear that which they do not understand
