From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.

I've heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I'm unsure how well it'd run under Wine.

I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it's not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.

Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I'm still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I'm not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)

You can link the makeMKV libs to handbrake so it's a one step process disk -> compressed form.

#!/bin/bash

# Intention: replace aacs decoding with makemkv's superior libmmbd programatically

# elevate privilages to sudo
[ "$UID" -eq 0 ] || exec sudo bash "$0" "$@"

# test if libmmbd is installed already, exit otherwise
libmmbdpath=$(find /usr -name libmmbd.so.0)
echo "libmmbd path is $libmmbdpath"
if [[ ! $libmmbdpath == *"/lib/"* ]]; then
    echo "libmmbd not found, please install makemkv first"
    exit 0
fi

# test if libaacs is installed already, set desired path otherwise
libaacspath=$(find /usr -name libaacs.so.0)
echo "libaacs path is $libaacspath"

    libaacspath="/usr/lib/libaacs.so.0"
else
    echo "libaacs found, you must uninstall libaacs"
    exit 0
fi

# test if libbdplus is installed already, set desired path otherwise

    libbdpluspath="/usr/lib/libbdplus.so.0"

    echo "libbdplus found, you must uninstall libbdplus"
    exit 0
fi

# if we made it here, it's time to take action

# softlink mmbd to aacs
ln -s $libmmbdpath $libaacspath

# softlink mmbd to bdplus
ln -s $libmmbdpath $libbdpluspath

echo "successfully set up libmmbd as the system decrypter"
exit 0

Bro answers with a complete bash script just for this dude's conveniance! Hats off to you sir!

This is the kind of community atmosphere I’m here for <3

Is there some legal reason why AACS and BDPlus can't use the same decoding strategies as MMBD?

I apologize. As grateful as I am that you took the time to write all this out, I must admit I am still very much a Linux noob and so all this is way beyond my abilities. :/
