I would like to announce yet another tool for Blu-ray decryption. MakeMKV http://www.makemkv.com is a program that converts Blu-ray and DVD discs into MKV files directly, preserving original encoding for all tracks. I previously announced the program in "containers" forum at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143361 but at that time it was limited only to MKB v4 and below so it was essentially useless for Blu-ray. The current version has latest AACS keys so it can open all Blu-ray discs (except BD+). The program is currently freeware but some functionality will become trialware in future while some wil stay free forever. Enjoy.

The latest keys we know of are for MKBv8 while Blu-Ray discs with MKBv9 already exists. So either you know more keys than we or less discs ;).

Hi!

By all means, if you haven't already done so, read "Mike Chen's" other thread, to get a better sense of some of Mike's well-intentioned statements ;>} This program appears to have great potential and may provide true competition for the (presently) only commercial software...

Are you planning to add BD+ support in the near future?

it can open all Blu-ray discs
You should replace "open" with "decrypt" in your description unless you really mean taking apart the different layers of the physical disc.

I just used the program to successfully backup an older (2006) BluRay release that has the main movie split between two non-consecutive "titles" (That I subsequently joined perfectly, using "MKVMerge").

As other members who have read the original thread and/or used MakeMKV thusfar are aware, MakeMKV creates a separate .MKV file for each "title", making no effort to join titles that comprise one true TITLE.

Although this presents no problem regarding standard DVDs (For which the vast majority of movies are contained in but one "title"), it seems to me that, in order to be a meaningful ripping/converting progam regarding BluRay discs, MakeMKV would have to include the ability to interpret playlists or whatever the controlling files are in determining the proper sequential playback of "titles" that comprise the movie.

Additionally, I've got to believe that it would be an almost trivial task to, prior to creating the .MKVs, provide the ability to save the BluRay disc, in its entirety, to hard disk...

Is there some "secret" to getting MakeMKV to successfully use a ripped hard drive BluRay "package"?

Thusfar (Trying al versions including v.1.02_B684), regarding several different BluRay (and HD) titles, the end result has always been, "Unable to open disc"...

@setarip_old
I know the other thread very well, i was just curious about the announced decrypting abilities, because so far AnyDVD HD was the only program that can do MKBv9.

Anyway, i have tried it with my X-Files 2 disc (which is MKBv9) and it was decrypted (except the BD+ damages of course), so this program seems to be the second one that knows a new processing key and maybe certificate. The Linux community is in desparate need of a new certificate and a new PK definately wouldn't hurt too ;).

@Mike Chen
Have you found the new key / certificate on the web or have you worked them out yourself?

No secrets actually, it should just open either files on hard drive or iso image. What you've been trying to do - open already decryped files or iso, or your "package" is encrypted? If you could please enable "log debug messages" in settings menu, restart the program,try to open ripped files and post the log here or via PM - it would really help us to understand the problem. And yes, if you're trying to open encrypted files you'll need to have either VID or VUK.

We have our own :) . Version 1.2 contains aacs keys that can unlock MKB v10 and will probably stay valid until v11. It contains fairly recent host certificate and "libriveio" library, that is planning to be released under LGPL, that can read VID from drives with patched firmware directly.

@Mike Chen

I must say, I'm most impressed with this latest version!

It successfully ripped and converted to .MKV the quite recently released "Star Wars - The Clone Wars" Blue Ray version (VC-1 video) directly from the BluRay disc.

This latest version also appears to have the capability of converting an already decrypted .ISO version of a BluRay disc to .MKV, but strangely, only if the .ISO is NOT mounted (I'll recheck this again at a later time). Also, as noted earlier, it still doesn't seem to be capable of dealing with already decrypted filesets (not .ISO image files) stored on a hard drive.

Kudos to you and your team on what, with this release of v.1.02_b864, I now see to be a very exciting program in the making. Keep up the excellent progress ;>}

Ironically, after congratulating you and recommending MakeMKV to a member ("MPAA") in response to a posting in the "Newbies" sub-forum here, it was extremely disappointing to hear back from that member that, contrary to your statement (both at the top of this thread and on your homepage) that:Preserves all video and audio tracks MakeMKV generates the following error notification:Stream #1 of type 'DTS-HD audio' was skipped, since it is not supported in BETA version Considering the large number of BluRay discs out there with DTS-HD encoding (and, possibly, no additional .AC3 in the same language), this limitation may prove to be prohibitive to anyone desiring to extacct the best possible audio.

Perhaps, rather than having members (including myself) "discover" the program's unstated limtiations/deficiencies, you would be good enough to state them in a post to this thread. We all understand that this is a work in progress, so don't be bashful ;>}

There are two high-def DTS formats - "DTS HD" and "DTS HD MA". Only first is not supported and only because we haven't seen any disc that uses it. Majority of the discs use master audio.

For any HD audio format "supported" means that core audio is extracted and placed to MKV. So for any HD audio MKV will contain regular 5.1 audio, either AC3 or DTS. Currently there is no way to put HD audio into MKV and no player will play it.

Currently unsupported but easy to do once we have a sample disc:
DTS HD (DTS HD master audio is supported)
dolby digital plus (Dolby truehd is supported)

not supported:
blu-ray text subtitles

not implemented yet:
no chapters are extracted from blu-ray
on blu-ray each AV clip is extracted as separate title

BTW, on regular DVDs one title contains almost always 2 or more AV clips because of layer break. MakeMKV joins them automatically.

Hi Mike,
What a lot of us have been doing using the 'manual' method is to convert the hi-def audio formats to FLAC. A PC with something like MadFlac installed will happily play back the full bandwidth audio and it can be sent via HDMI as 7.1 PCM. It would be very cool if you added that 'feature' at a later date.

Also, I think the MKV container's latest spec. does allow the HD Audio formats although as you say, nothing will play them (yet). FFDSHOW has some beta support for the new audio but I don't think it works too well at the moment.

Anyway, great program. Well Done.

TiVo.

@Mike Chen

I just used MakeMKV to rip the "Ratatouille" BluRay disc. It brought to firsthand light for me, a suggestion I made in an earlier post to this thread, to wit:

It seems to me that, in order to be a meaningful ripping/converting progam regarding BluRay discs, MakeMKV would have to include the ability to interpret playlists or whatever the controlling files are in determining the proper sequential playback of "titles" that comprise the movie.

From what I've been able to cull out from the more than 20 "Titles" ripped by MakeMKV, including SOME (but not all) apparently joined "Titles" that are parts of the "movie only", there are anywhere from 8 to 15 non-sequential "Titles" that are parts of the actual movie.

Also, rather than MakeMKV generating simple sequential "Title" numbers based on "Titles" checkmarked by the user, I think it may be more meaningful to use clip numbers or playlist numbers instead...

(Until such time as such a feature is added to MakeMKV, is there anyone who knows how I can determine (Other than visually) the correct sequence of the ripped "Titles" and their individual filesizes that comprise the "Ratatouille BluRay disc?)

**Additional request** - It would be extremely beneficial if MakeMKV would show the "Title" numbers next to each "Title" in the second generated window.

Hello setarip_old, if you use EAC3TO and point it at the root directory of your bluray disk via the command line, it will show you all the playlists with the respect .M2TS numbers it will join.

However, I've a question concerning HD subtitles. Which player is able to play back those streams with S_HDMV/PGS as CodecID ? It seems that the haali splitter is able to split it but which renderer ? and this specs has been validated by the Matroska Team yet ?

@Mike Chen:

Are the AACS keys that you have processing keys? If they are, would you consider sharing them with KenD00 so he can incorporate them into his free and open-source DumpHD software? Linux users like me (and loric i think) can't use your software and i am personally only interested in software that can play blu-ray movies straight from the disc (without ripping them).

we'd really appreciate it! The open-source software community thrives on the generosity, hard work, and cooperation of people like you, KenD00 and Oopho2ei (and countless others who have contributed here).

Have been having alot of problems with the Lionsgate productions. On "DisasterMovie", Ripit4Me appears to have correctly processed it evan tho had popup warnings at the end. Playback of file on VLC player started out with pixalation and freezes on opening, it automatically restarted itself and played fine the whole way thru.

AnyDVD to Folder: Seems to have processed ok; total 7.05GB, ran thru DVD Shrink and evan tho I selected Main Movie 0f 2.68 GB while it was processing it appeared to include a lot of interviews after the main movie. Playback of Image was fine, but did include pretty much everything on the DVD.

MakeMKV: After processing dragged largest fileset to decrypting side, while processing showed numerous skipped titles and cells, took 18m 46secs for an output of 13 titles. Playback on VLC player of everything appeared to be fine, but is showing closed caption. Now that I these 13 MKV files how do I get them to an ISO? Am I going to have to buy a converter?

I'm a bit new to this backing up BD/HD-DVD's via freeware/shareware tools since up till now my goal was to just backup my HD-DVD collection in case my player died and not worry about BD since you can always get a new player (I am using a PS3).

So I have been using AnyDVD trial and it's pretty easy to use. But the trial has ended and rather than spend 79 euros on the tool I started looking at the other tools like dumphd, dumpvid, aacskeys etc. Tried on a couple of titles and they seemed to work. And what made it harder was the fact my LG drive has had its key revoked so had to use PDVD7 which came with the drive and dumpvid to hammer the drive to get the Volume Key (if that's the right term).

Anyway have come across this tool and it looks interesting. But what's not so clear to me is, it says it won't handle BD+. I am entirely sure what the implication of that is. Does that mean it cannot rip a BD title with BD+? If so can you use the BDVM Debugger in standalone mode?

What happens if it's a title with mkbv9 keys so this tool is the only tool (apart from AnyDVD) that can handle it.

Sorry if the questions are a bit simple but some looking around on this forum didn't turn up any obvious answers

Thanks

Hi!That's correct...

So are you caught between a rock and a hard place then?

If you have a title with BD+ and mkbv9 you're screwed unless you have AnyDVD? The mkbv9 stops DumpHD and bdvm debugger and BD+ stops MakeMKV?

setarip_old

@lchiu7

MakeMKV has been improved several times since inception. I wouldn't doubt that dealing with BD+ is one of the items being worked on, although your guess would be as good as mine as to when such an improvement will show up - and whether it will be in the current free beta mode, or when they take the program commercial.

You might want to post your question at the forum at the MakeMKV website.

Or, you could avoid purchasing Fox BluRay discs ;>}

Well I got into this backup thing mainly to backup my HD-DVD collection since players are going to rare as hen's teeth soon and I didn't want to be left stranded with about 50 titles I couldn't play. So the idea was back them up to a server and play with a Popcorn Hour which works fine.

Then seeing how convenient it was to do that, thought I would put some of more frequently played BD titles on the server and hence the encounter with BD+ and possibly mkbv9 which I had no knowledge of before since I had been using AnyDVD. But that trial is over and I can't justify the cost of a two year licence given that most of the HD-DVD titles I have can be backed up with the tools on this forum and there won't be any new encryption coming along:)

The only Fox title I have tried so far (Life Free or Die Hard) is BD+ but I seem to have gotten dumphd with the BDVM debugger, Dumpvid and aacskeys to back this title up. A lot of effort to be sure but the result is satisfying!

I tried this amazing program to convert my DVDs to a single file that I can stream via network towards my PS3 - so much easier than putting the DVD into the tray... for that I am a lazy guy and do not need all that extra crap on the DVD!

It's also quite nice if the MPEG2 video is converted to 264, saves a lot of disc-space (x264 video is ~700 MB; plus the audio gives something around 1.5 to 2.5 GB - depending on the audio tracks one leaves inside)...


Only two problems so far:

1.) mkv2vob does not recognise the video format - keeps yelling about an "unsupported video codec: MPEG-2"
--> would be nice if those two "one-click solutions" worked hand-in-hand (much easier for us PS3 owners)

2.) the DVD-chapters within the MakeMkv output are somewhat corrupted (or out-of-spec)!?
-> MkvInfo shows them, but no other program "sees" the chapters (neither MkvExtract nor TsMuxer recognizes those)
how do I get the chapter information (e.g. to be feed into txmuxer)?
what I am doing wrong here?


keep up the work - amazing little prog so far


p.s.
also subtitles don't work -- but this sadly is a common problem on the PS3 (subtitles don't work at all here; on self-made single-file videos I mean)
<EDIT>OK, subtitles would work for small MP4 and divX containers up to 4GB, but beyond 4GB there are no subtitles 'til now</EDIT>

p.p.s.
that's how I do it a.t.m.:
1. MakeMkv (extract DVDs main movie to a single MKV file)
2. tsmuxer (extract the MPEG2 movie from that MKV file)
3. DGIndex (indexing the MPEG2 movie for use with AviSynth)
4. meGUI (convert the AviSynth movie into h264)
5. tsmuxer (combine the h264 movie with the original audio)
6a. tsmuxer (mux to .ts for streaming)
6b. or mkv2vob (if the audio was DTS)

[if MakeMkv would directly support mkv2vob, I could save steps 2 to 5 ...]

that way I am losing subtitle and chapter information (tsmuxer does not recognize chapters/subtitles from MakeMkv files :-( )

any other posible solutions to preserve chapters/subtitles ???

My recent efforts with "Make MKV" have included converting several BluRay discs that employ VC-1 videostreams. Although the conversions have gone smoothly, the resultant .MKVs playback in a very "choppy"/stuttering (and at times, slideshow-like) manner.

This problem is very certainly limited to those BluRay discs containing VC-1 videostreams.

I don't think so...

1/ Retry a vc-1 to mkv mux with eac3to or mmg from mkvtoolnix.

I tried this amazing program to convert my DVDs to a single file that I can stream via network towards my PS3 - so much easier than putting the DVD into the tray... for that I am a lazy guy and do not need all that extra crap on the DVD!
MakeMKV is not the appropriate tool for that...:rolleyes:

Hi!1/ Retry a vc-1 to mkv mux with eac3to or mmg from mkvtoolnix.Doing so would require using something other than "MakeMKV" to decrypt a source BluRay disc - and the only alternative is a payware product that I've neither desire nor intention to purchase.

I said:"This problem is very certainly limited to those BluRay discs containing VC-1 videostreams."

You said: "I don't think so..."

The simple fact is that I've successfully used this procedure to decrypt and convert MANY non-VC-1 BluRay discs without encountering this problem - but have encountered this problem with three VC-1 BluRay discs...

not at all...eac3to and mmg are free tools and are able to remux mkv input files.

I know you are well-intentioned, but you are misinformed:

Neither EAC3to nor MMG can DECRYPT BluRay discs.

Presently, only (presently freeware) MakeMKV and (Payware) "AnyDVD-HD" can decrypt BluRay discs (An older version of DVDFab HD Decrypter can decrypt a few of the earliest BluRay discs)...

@Mike Chen

My recent efforts with "Make MKV" have included converting several BluRay discs that employ VC-1 videostreams. Although the conversions have gone smoothly, the resultant .MKVs playback in a very "choppy"/stuttering (and at times, slideshow-like) manner.

This problem is very certainly limited to those BluRay discs containing VC-1 videostreams.

Your thoughts, please ;>}
As of today it is the known error. MakeMKV does not put FPS information into video track header and that causes playback problems, but only for VC-1 streams. Go fugure. It will be fixed soon.

@Mike Chen

You've not responded to a suggestion/request that I posted much earlier in this thread, so I'll state again:

I've got to believe that it would be an almost trivial task to, prior to creating the .MKVs, provide the ability/option to save the BluRay disc, in its entirety, to hard disk in conforming BluRay format.

Please advise...
Even if it is trivial we have no plans to do that. The mission of MakeMKV is to convert video from proprietary and heavily-patented format into open and free one. Ability to produce decrypted blu-ray files will turn it into yet another ripper and will in fact help studios in their quest for tight content control. Our point is that we, consumers, have rights over the content we paid for and MakeMKV is an unlocker that opens all the things you can do with a video file.

On a separate note "conforming BluRay format" requires AACS protection. Currently players play AACS-unprotected discs but that is likely to change in the future.

Currently players play AACS-unprotected discs but that is likely to change in the future.If that were to change, it would eliminate the vast majority of the market for burnable BluRay media - and I don't think the manufacturers would want to see that happen.

Sorry to hear of your firm's unwillingness to add my suggested intermediate step to optionally convert to BluRay format (without AACS). I guess we'll just have to continue using tools such as tsMuxeR after the fact.

From my perspective as an experienced business owner, I'd suggest you reconsider my suggestion, because to do otherwise would be to forgo what is likely your largest market component simply for the sake of "splitting hairs" regarding the definition of a "ripping" program. By not adding this capability, you are leaving this entire market component to ONE commercial product. If you're not directly involved in your firm's marketing and/or finance, I'd respectully suggest that you bounce my suggestion off your marketing and forecasting personnel.

Keep up the great work and responsiveness!

1.) mkv2vob does not recognise the video format - keeps yelling about an "unsupported video codec: MPEG-2"
--> would be nice if those two "one-click solutions" worked hand-in-hand (much easier for us PS3 owners)

mkv2vob is a GUI over many tools including tsmuxer. All MKV produced by MakeMKV can be fed into tsMuxER directly thus avoiding mkv2vob altogether.


2.) the DVD-chapters within the MakeMkv output are somewhat corrupted (or out-of-spec)!?
-> MkvInfo shows them, but no other program "sees" the chapters (neither MkvExtract nor TsMuxer recognizes those)
how do I get the chapter information (e.g. to be feed into txmuxer)?
what I am doing wrong here?

Very strange. MakeMKV creates unnamed chapters, so that might be the problem.

Well, be sure that the ability to process encrypted discs (which you do) is far enough for "them" to get on their target list.


On a separate note "conforming BluRay format" requires AACS protection.

AFAIK this applies to BD-ROM only and not BD-R/RE.

x-post from the makeMKV forum, just in case someone here has a solution.

Ok, so I have a bunch of HD DVDs that I want to rip, and MakeMKV seems ideal for this.

first off, I'm getting the
"VC-1 video stream without TFCNTR information is not supported, sorry. Few HD-DVDs use it anyway.
Failed to decode audio/video data for title #0 - invalid mux or internal error, title skipped."
message on all my HD DVDs. Granted, I've only tried V or Vendetta, Clerks 2, 40 Year Old Virgin and Red Dragon, but that seems like an impressive streak. So on that note, can someone tell me a confirmed-rippable HD DVD that I can test with? (updated, all my HD DVDs throw this error. I tossed them in to try)

Second issue, I'm not getting audio on any of the other files, either. The commentary and deleted scenes are not VC-1, but there's still no audio in the ultimate MKV (unless I'm misunderstanding something, which could be the case).

I'm also getting this error: FAILURE: Code 0 at 3eJwfP8<)RZ#AA,n_k:213132606 after it tells me all about the VC-1 no-support. (this was on the 40 Year Old Virgin, I did not have logging turned on yet for the other movies)

I'm using the XBox 360 HD DVD drive on a Vista 32-bit computer. I'm trying MPC and VLC for playback, and I have the most current CCCP codec pack.

@Happysin: Buy AnyDVD HD or use DumpHD.. and then whichever tools you need to convert to MKV (e.g. ac3to to extract the streams, then mkvmerge to mux them to MKV.. or re-encode them in between ). HD DVDs alll use an MKB version that DumpHD can handle with the processing keys that are publicly known.

Happysin
1st March 2009, 22:28
I already own AnyDVD HD, and had the same problem with the files even though I had them ripped from the HD DVD first. and eac3to kept failing on me (as did the GUI versions). The whole reason I wanted to use MKVMerge is because I don't want to recompress all the files, I like them just fine in their big size. I just need something to do that. I've tried some multi-step stuff, but I keep getting lost in the process.

I love your app so far but... The comment above almost made me laugh. You want to "free" the proprietary content to only 1 specific format MKV???? Funny since many players support m2ts format already, which is similar to MKV just a wrapper. Granted that MakeMKV can decode encrypted disk which is the actual "freeing" part of the whole process... But it truely is silly to say "MakeMKV is an unlocker that opens all the things you can do with a video file" when the only thing you can do with it is make a MKV... Also there isn't "just another ripper" when Blu-ray and HDDVD is concerned. If you are trying to break into the DVD market? Why? I still to this day use DVDShrink...

Hey I am more then willing to use MKV format on my HTPC. There are many other uses for direct access to the "ripped" content. Subtitles are one aspect. Since MKV does not support .sup subitles we have to rip/transcode with MakeMKV, then rerip the subtitles and OCR them, then merge them back to the MKV.

While I don't think MakeMKV should have to support .sup conversion to .srt or other text based subtitles, it would be nice to avoid the need to use more tools to re-rip the subtitles when it could just as easily be done with MakeMKV

In all honesty, I personally would rather have a tool like DVDShrink where I can edit out extras etc easily, decryption is not a priority for me since I already have AnyDVD. The ability to convert to MKV is nice as well.

I know some here won't like it but why reinvent the wheel and spend time programing something that another piece of software does really well? When blu-ray ripping/reauthoring tools are still in their infancy?

That was my plan also but I have over 50 titles and the 30 day trial just wasn't long enough (I had other things to do). Then found DumpHD does the job fine since there are no new keys coming out I can take my time doing the backing up. And it's more flexible than makemkv

We are talking about different things. MKV format is free in a sense that it is unpatented and well documented. Players adopt MKV for a reason. In addition MKV is very extensible - for example MKV file produced from blu-ray may contain named chapters while m2ts can't have chapters by definition.

Any idea when a new release, including that fix, might arrive?

5th March 2009, 10:01
@lchiiu7Does that program require any hardware modifications?

Well it depends. This was my situation

DumpHD didn't work at first since the LG player (and this is not technical) said the keys used by AACSKEYS had been revoked

It worked if AACS keys have been published

I could use Dumpvid which did work - kept polling the drive when playing a BD title and trapped the key. Then DumpHD worked okay

However I have a bunch of HD-DVD's and my version of PDVD7 that came with my LG drive cannot play so I could not use Dumpvid

So in the end flashed the drive with new firmware (is that a hardware modification) and now I can use DumpHD for pretty much any BD or HD-DVD title apart from those with MKBv9 keys. For those I would then use makemkv only as a last resort.

What is the best plan in your opinion?

Rip to HDD, Rip to image, remove AACS or keep it?

I just want to be able to play my HD-DVD for the forseeable future. I started by ripping to HDD and removing AACS, but then the last one I did and ISO w/o copy protection, and now I am thinking that maybe the best is to leave AACS in b/c dont most players refuse to play a HD DVD w/o AACS?

And I only have like 12 discs and 4 are planet earth :)

Backup to HDD, possibly compress or not (HDD space is so cheap these days), of course remove AACS.

Since my main media player is a Popcorn hour which doesn't support HDMI 1.3 so no lossless audio, I have been experimenting with backing to HD, retaining lossless audio (when it exists - not many HD-DVD's with TrueHD) and authoring the content to AVCHD format to play on the PS3.

Still don't know how to handle DD+ though since apparently the way DD+ is stored on HD-DVD is not the same as on BD (so in the m2ts format) so you cannot just take the DD+ stream and mux it back with the VC1 stream. Current process is to convert to 640Kb DD which I guess is fine.

I just picked up 4 more HD-DVD's at $5 :)

is it possible to choose an option in the program to include dvd's menu as well into the resulting mkv ?

I'd love that function too, but since menu support on Matroska is (nearly) inexistent (at least there's no player that can play the menus...) and Matroska 2.0 should "soon(tm)" be revealed with proper Menu support I'd rather wait and hope that in ~1 year we can finally fully convert a whole DVD to mkv without losing anything other than the copy-protection.

Until then I'm going to wait and still archive my DVDs as ISO, even though it hurts a bit inside to have this great container but noone seems to want/insist on that feature which for me is crucial I'd say.

Hi all,

I tried to use MakeMKV on The Forbidden Kingdom for Region A seems to be MKBv8 ( according to aacskeys 0.4.0 output when running it against BD ISO created with PS3 LINUX )

Program can't open that disk for me ( Win XP SP2 + UDF 2.5 Driver, can "see" BD via ISO Virtual Clone ).

Did anybody try MakeMKV with this particular BD ?

I also try to run Volume ID via Blu-Ray Ripper 1.5, which claims to be able to work with Multiple CPS Unit Keys, but it claims on m2ts file number 4 Volume ID is incorrect.

And DumpHD doesn't support Multiple CPS Unit Keys, so it creates an useless output.

I am not looking for any fancy features, just to be able to get m2ts I can play directly ( didn't quiet understand if MakeMKV can just decrypt m2ts files ? ).

Don't have BD and PC, so can't use DumpVID.

If anybody is aware of any solutions other than AnyDVD for < MKBv9 discs, maybe with Multiple CPS Unit Keys or got this program to work on BD ISO image, let me know.

Raw ISO file alone does not contain all necessary information needed to decrypt the disc. In addition to ISO you need either VUK (volume key) or VID (volume ID) for the disc. Either one can be passed to MakeMKV.

Hi Mike,

regarding "In addition to ISO you need either VUK (volume key) or VID (volume ID) for the disc. Either one can be passed to MakeMKV."

I do have Volume ID ( it looks like ISO taken with PS3 LINUX does retain correct Volume ID ), but I didn't quiet figure out how to pass it to MakeMKV. Under View, Preferences, AACS, there is a place to select directory, but not much mentioned about file format used if this is even correct.

If I just run it, I get message about VUK unknown. Not sure if it's ok to paste the whole error message here ?

I am using Windows Version via GUI, have UDF 2.5 driver and I can run MakeMKV just fine if AnyDVD is running in background.

Let me know what would be the way to pass Volume ID to the program and I will give it a shot.

I was eager to try out the new, improved VC-1 capabilities of version 1.03_B778.

Unfortunately, it appears to be essentially non-functional regarding VC-1 BluRay discs.

Approximately halfway through the first pass analysis, the reading of titles slows to about 100Kb/s.

After selecting the titles to be copied, the program "hangs" momentarily and the continues to crawl at a "0" rate, perhaps averaging 10Kb/s.

I checked the same two discs with your previous version (1.03_B722) and it functioned properly, at a normal pace (approximately 30 minutes for the entire disc).

Please advise.

Hi Mike,

Have you tried the following (I think it will work)?:

1) Mount the ISO image file and run "AnyDVD HD"

2) Select "Copy DVD" and copy a decrypted version of the BluRay "package" to your hard drive

3) Use IMGBurn to convert the hard drive "package" to a new UNprotected .ISO image file

4) Mount the new .ISO image file and use MakeMKV to create an .MKV file

Hi!

1) Does the "Ironman" BluRay disc contain a VC-1 videostream?

3) Did you playback the MKV of the movie? If so, did it stutter?

No, Iron Man is AVC encoded. I used the latest (1.3, build 778) on the website. And no, I didn't get any stuttering either.

The AACS volume id is a different thing from disc volume id. Your best bet is to find VUK for your disc. MakeMKV reads text VUK files in any format. Try to save entire "post your volume keys" thread from this forum into text or html file(s) and set "AACS key" directory in MakeMKV preferences to point to the folder where you saved the text files - ISO will open if VUK is there.

Thanks for confirming this, as I haven't had a chance to hunt down and purchase more VC-1 BluRay discs.

Since you had no problem with the "Serenity" VC-1 BluRay disc, while we both have now had problems with other VC-1 titles, I wonder if the problem could be related to postings in the "BR-RB" sub-sub-forum here - namely a difference in processing "standard" 1080p VC-1 BluRays versus (IIRC) 1080i VC-1 BluRays?

Since I don't have/use AnyDVD HD, I'm not in a position to do as requested by "Mike Chen", namely: Can you please try to grab decrypted ISO and then open it with MakeMKV - I wonder if it is a drive or data problem.Can YOU do this for "Mike Chen" (actually, for all of us)?

The previously noted gross slowdown/"standstill" problem regarding VC-1 titles appears to occur right after the following message appears in the log window:Stream #10 of type 'LPCM-HD audio' in file 00026.m2ts was skipped, since it is not supported in BETA version

Is this merely a coincidence, or is there some correlation?

**EDIT**This does NOT appear to be limited to VC-1 titles.

Build 778 exhibits the same problematic behavior with "Tropic Thunder", which is listed as "Details: BD-50, MPEG-4 AVC"(H.264).

All of the following BluRay discs exhibit the "slow to a crawl/nil" syndrome ONLY with v.1.03Build778:

The Dark Knight (VC-1)
Troy (VC-1)
300 (VC-1)
Tropic Thunder (AVC/H.264)
Crash (2005) (MPEG-2)
Changeling (VC-1)
Enchanted (AVC/H264)
The Express (VC-1)

To reiterate: The previous version of MakeMKV, v.1.03Build722, rips through these in the "normal" rapid manner...

Surely you can obtain one of them to help track down the reason for this bug...

Hi!

If it's an original BluRay disc OTHER THAN A BD+ (Only Fox is using BD+?), you shouldn't need a key. If it's an original BD+ BluRay disc, "MakeMKV" cannot rip it.

If it's an original HD-DVD with VC-1 video, "MakeMKV" cannot rip it.

What is the title and format of your original disc?

It's Within Temptation - Black Symphony ... a MKB V9 disk. As said, MakeMKV complains that it can not read the VID from the disk, and I read that you can supply it somehow to MakeMKV, but since there is almost no documentation, I have no idea how. I have a patched LG drive, so I did already read the VID manually. It's a bit strange the app does not use the AACS bypass to read the VID, but that's a different story.

1) Is it also a BD+ disc?
I ask because "Mike Chen" has stated that MakeMKV can rip ALL BluRays, including up to MKB V12 - but cannot rip discs containing BD+.

2) What version of MakeMKV are you using?
I ask because some of us have had problems with ONLY the latest version 1.03Build778

3) The answer to your question was posted earlier in this thread by "Mike Chen":The AACS volume id is a different thing from disc volume id. Your best bet is to find VUK for your disc.

Passing VID is arcane magic, at least until we release libdriveio sources under LGPL and that should happen quite soon. You can indeed pass the VID, but only if you are opening "files on hard drive", not ISO. If you only have ISO file then you can extract all files from it by cddump.exe tool that is part of MakeMKV package. Assuming you have blu-ray files in some folder, you need to create a binary file called "diskatt.dat" in that folder. The file size must be 24 bytes. The first 8 bytes must be 04 00 00 80 00 00 00 10 , the next 16 bytes must be binary VID. It all makes sense but is too long to explain why :) If you have original disc you can dump all disc attributes including VID using following command: "cddump.exe a DRIVEID d diskatt.dat" where DRIVEID is your single-digit drive number reported by "cddump.exe l" command.

makemkvcon.exe and cddump.exe print their usage information if called without any parameters. makemkv.exe takes no command-line options.

I have nothing on the hard drive, I have the original disc. Ofcourse I can copy everything to the hard drive, but that sounds silly without decrypting it at the same time.

I just tried this, and I got the following error:

Warning -- AACS VID was not extraced from blu-ray disk
Warning -- AACS KCD was not extraced from blu-ray disk


makemkvcon.exe and cddump.exe print their usage information if called without any parameters. makemkv.exe takes no command-line options.

Well I encountered a disc with VC1 video and makemkv created a file that is not playable. It seemed to decode the title okay and create a mkv file but when I try to play it on a Popcorn Hour, it's jerky.

The file seems to be broken. Tried to re-encode the file to something smaller using megui (which calls x264) and x264 just hangs. mkvtoolnix can't demux the VC1 video either.

Are you using ffdshow to decode VC1? Don't. Use the WMVideo Decoder DMO.

No - I am trying to play on a Popcorn Hour.

I tried all kinds of strategies to fix the file. In the end passed the file from makemkv through Handbrake and re-encoded the video at a lower bit rate and now it plays fine.

But I know it's not a bit rate issue since I have put full BD titles on a HD with no compression and the Popcorn plays them fine from a USB drive. I think it's a problem with Makemkv and VC1 video

BR - Body of Lies (region B)

But once I ran the file through handbrake and configured it to be 720P and a lower bitrate, it played fine.

I don't use makemkv much (don't like the fact that it produces an output format that is not that flexible) so I can't comment much on whether this is a one off or normal behaviour for VC1 video

His drive is patched so it will send the volume id even if authentication failed (e.g. due to revocation). Simply ask for the volume id regardless if the authentication was successful or not. Don't invalidate the AGID before that.
This is implemented in latest version - 1.4.0 .

@ Mike Chen -

I tried the linux version on a MKBv12 disc with VC-1 video and got an error. I'm not sure that it's a problem with makemkv but i haven't had any problems with VC-1 discs using other software. here is the error i got when trying to play it in mplayer:

VIDEO: [WVC1] 1920x1080 24bpp 23.976 fps 0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)
==========================================================================

==========================================================================


the [vc1 @ 0xc2c2e0]Incomplete extradata part makes me think that makemkv might somehow be writing the video extradata (or something) incorrectly. can anyone else verify this error?

i should mention though that throughout the process of ripping and creating the video file, makemkv ran smoothly and was easy to use (and successfully created the video file)! nice transition to linux Mike & Co.!

Out of all my movies I am having trouble converting three to .MKV with MakeMKV. The movies are Troy, Wedding Crashers and Starwars a new hope. I rip the whole dvd with DVDfab then with DVDshrink I save just the main movie in .ISO form.
This is the message I end up with.

Hi!

It's recently come to light that "MakeMKV" (up to and including v.1.4.2b) does something to PGS subtitles when converting from M2TS to MKV that makes them unusable by other programs, such as "tsMuxeR".

The proof of this is that loading the M2TS file into "tsMuxeR" allows the program to accept and properly process the PGS subtitles, while loading the MKV file (created from the same M2TS file) generates an error message stating the inability to process them.

Please advise.

I'm using MakeMKV v1.4.2, and it maxes out my ram in about 2-3 minutes, and then starts spilling over in the pagefile.

Hey Mike I wanted to say that this is a very cool program! I used it for the first time yesterday and it worked like a champ.

Two questions:

1. When I went to down convert the MKV that was created to 720p Ripbot, for some reason, couldn't figure out the Audio stream. I was able to extract the AC3 on the command line using mkvextract without issue and everything seemed great, but I wasn't sure if you might have an idea why the audio gave me issues?

2. Would it be possible to add an option for down converting to 720p?
My HDTV is smaller and so I like to store content in 720p for saving space.

Thanks again for making such an awesome program!

system specs:

It also looks like MakeMKV's caching is not that great, it hardly uses any of my CPU's power and sometimes crawls to a halt when the computer is doing other things (i use makeMKV on a dedicated seperate harddisk)

I will try your solution.
PS i use Clearmem (which forces applications to use the windows garbage collector to clear any unneeded ram) to fight the leak, and it works perfectly(but i have to keep running it over and over :().

I Found another bug with the chapters that actually causes crashes on some players:

Bug 1: Chapter "0" is not allowed, see the specs here:

MakeMKV just puts PGS stream as is into MKV. The bigger problem is that there are no players that can play PGS stream from MKV file. In addition PGS stream itself (contrary to vobsub) does not contain timecodes and durations so this information must be somehow preserved. Because of this extracted PGS streams are typically stored in the "sup" file format that contains elementary stream and additional timing information. It is absolutely possible to extract "sup" file from MKV but there is currently no tool that can do just that. Eventually it will fix itself - either suprip will start to recognize MKV as input or PGS demuxer will be added to mkvtoolnix or VLC/MPlayer will start to display PGS streams. For now this is unfortunately a pain. Again, these MKVs contain elementary stream as-is, unchanged.

I don't think it's going to become obsolete whether it supports BD+ or not, as decrypting is not the main purpose of this program. You can always run MakeMKV over disc, mounted image or Blu-ray folder decrypted by AnyDVD HD, DumpHD or other tools.

The main feature which is missing in MakeMKV is not BD+ support (as AnyDVD does it just fine). It is a small video player, allowing you to preview selected title (or rather selected video/audio/subtitle stream). Just like the one in DVD Shrink, CloneDVD and other tools. Another thing is the ability to output not only to .mkv, but also to .ts and .m2ts files (maybe .mp4 too) and "dummy" Blu-ray disc. Also the ability to preserve chapters if you export to another Blu-ray disc (perhaps .mkv does not support chapters, not sure).

"I would like to announce yet another tool for Blu-ray decryption. MakeMKV ..."

Yeah... If the author positions this program as a decryptor, then eventual BD+ support is important. But if I was him, I would still concentrate on "remuxing" and UI (I mean video preview) part first. As there are other decryptors on the market (I mean AnyDVD in the first place), but no user friendly "Blu-ray Shrink" program. And as Slysoft is working on CloneBD, I think tools like MakeMKV and tsMuxer should evolve quite quickly and use their current popularity wisely. Or else Slysoft will eventually become "monopolistic" in "Blu-ray remuxing" business too. :)

We have keys from multiple players. The PK that we currently use comes not from powerdvd and was never revoked. In truth we expected for it to be revoked sooner but it survived unchanged until v12 (confirmed). And so far it looks like it is not going to be revoked in v13 or v14. To read VID MakeMKV first tries to do so without auth ( see LGPL libdriveio avaiable on our forum) and then performs standard auth. For this we have a pile of non-revoked host certs.

EDIT: "Our" key was revoked in MKB v14. We've updated AACS keys in latest version so MKB v14 can be opened just fine.

Would be nice if MakeMKV could support m2ts format with HD audio as well. I would like to use it also to make a full or partly BD rip. In this case the user would be able to use different tools for postprocessing. It might be not a big impact to support this.

Shv,

If you don't want to use the .MKV container, you can use EAC3TO with one of the many available frontends to work from either a full blu-ray disk or .M2TS files for a 100% quality blu-ray. Or do you mean post-processing (re-encoding), like that BD-REBUILDER [poke my own eyes out with a rusty fork] software can do?

Cheers,

Well if he's buying blu-ray disks as I do, it's not a problem to invest in decent software to immediately back them up. I'm much preferring a copy to be played back on the media player due to keeping the original disk preserved and no good software on the PC. I would assume most people on this forum are not still using their Grandmother's technology either ;-)

To me "Any DVD HD" is not "fairly high-priced" considering what it can do, the time it can save and the free that you get with it.

I understand from the MakeMKV forums that no open source player can read the subtitles? Is there a way I can rip the subtitles out and mux them into the resultant MKV? I just bought Stormriders 10th anniversary blu ray (hong kong stuff, all chinese!), ripped it with anyDVD HD, loaded the ISO into MakeMKV and kept the subtitles. When I play it in Plex, I can choose to display subtitles (it sees they're there) but nothing shows.....anyway to get around this? thanks in advance...

As far I know AnyDVD HD don't currently support MKB V14. Taking this into mind I think it would be good to have two tools which can decrypt BDs and BD+ too. As it shall become a comercial tool it shall support different use cases to get more user which want to pay for it. In this case there could be a good balance between price and offered features.

Restriction to MKV format would mean to restrict usage of other tools as well as the restriction of potential users. Currently this also means that the usage of HD audio formats is not possible and subtitles also don't work. At least I was not able to play them to split them or to remux them...

There's only two reasons to buy a BD, one is HD video, the other is HD audio. Otherwise DVDs are much easier to work with. Throw away the HD audio and you're removed half the value of a BD. If people are happy with this (as the existing users and authors of Ripbot/MakeMKV apparently are), more power to them. But I don't get why the authors of these tools won't add such support, it's very easy. I spent a week writing a python script automating BD->mkv just so I could get the HD audio. Oh well.

While I personally tend to agree that keeping the HD audio is a requirement, for others it simply isn't. They want the HD picture and can live with non-HD audio. I don't see anything wrong with that if that's what they're looking for. Just because it's not what you or I want, it doesn't make this product any less valid. And at current, MKV as a container doesn't support HD audio formats. I believe you can convert it to lossless FLAC or something like that and you'll get lossless HD audio in an MKV container. Perhaps that's something they'll consider adding to this product in the future. But as it stands now, this product is designed to convert a BD to an MKV. And there are many people seem to like the concept.

I concur exactly with your all thoughts and opinions on this matter. I have converted the HD to FLAC for a MKV container and it sounds like Lossless to me...great! It would be terrific if this could be designed into MakeMKV, as .MKV and .FLAC are supported in some SW Players and maybe are now, like the Western Digital HD Media Player, or will be supported soon...even together in more hardware Players. :cool:

So just an update for anyone concerned...I used TSMuxer to demux my subs to a .sup file. Then, on my PC, I brought that .sup file into Suprip and OCR'd the subs to an SRT. I then took that SRT and muxed it back into the original MKV. It's working! Only problem I really see is, the subtitle, in Plex, doesn't show up as English, it shows up as what I named it in TSMuxer. Small issue....anyone know how to make it show as English?

Now that MakeMKV is capable of processing BluRay discs containing VC-1 video, it would be a nice gesture if you folks would enhance your HD-DVD coverage by simply extending the VC-1 coverage to HD-DVD ripping.

Is there a way to override the aspect ratio in the created MKVs? Some of my DVDs are coming out with really wacky ARs. Brian Regan Standing Up is probably the most extreme example. It's widescreen but I'm pretty sure it was encoded as 4:3 so it has bars on top and bottom (is that what is considered anamorphic?). So when played back as wide screen it ends up super stretched out horizontally and squashed vertically. Is there any way to fix this besides re-encoding it? I have a lot of DVDs I'm trying to convert and I'd rather avoid the 3-6 hours to re-encode each.

It is not that simple. In short, VC-1 on HD-DVD is encoded differently from Blu-ray and would require a lot of VC-1 specfic code. Also there is no (still?) free EAC3 to AC3/LPCM transcoding library so writing an EAC3 converter just to support HD-DVDs is challenging. So that's why MakeMKV does not support VC-1 streams without encoded reordering information and E-AC3 streams. Unfortunately these are most common codecs on HD-DVDs.

So that's why MakeMKV does not support VC-1 streams without encoded reordering information and E-AC3 streams. Unfortunately these are most common codecs on HD-DVDs.eac3 decoding is already possible with open-source applications. You could simply mux the eac3 into the mkv directly.

Or do you mean that you have to re-order the eac3 stream to match the VC1?

Revgen
13th August 2009, 15:02
EAC3to uses FFMPEG/libaf and Aften (both open-sourece) to encode to ac3 if needed. Also, MKV's support EAC3. However, they don't support True-HD/MLP, but that's solved easily by encoding to FLAC, which is supported by MKV. FLAC files even tend to take up less space than the original True-HD files. EAC3to can even detect the delay in the audio file to match the video. Eac3to also removes pulldown from VC1 files, and does so in a similar way VC1Conv does. VC1Conv source code and program is here. http://www.w6rz.net/vc1conv.zip

Madshi does EAC3to for free, but he hasn't been able to update it for awhile since having to work more than usual. Unfortuanately, Madshi hasn't released the source code, so you can't really look at it. But it can be done.

Hi!VC-1 on HD-DVD is encoded differently from Blu-ray and would require a lot of VC-1 specfic code.As far as I know, the ONLY difference is that for HD-DVDs, you have to remove the pulldown. Also there is no (still?) free EAC3 to AC3/LPCM transcoding library so writing an EAC3 converter just to support HD-DVDs is challenging.As has been noted here by others, (freeware) "eac3to" is capable of performing these audio conversions.

Now that you'v been provided with this additional information, I would hope that you'd reconsider.

Revgen
14th August 2009, 02:33
^There are few other things besides removing the pulldown, but VC1conv does those things. The readme.txt file in the VC1conv.zip explains what they are. Once they are done, VC1 video from HD-DVD is Blu-Ray compatible.

I can stick with Eac3to for know as far as HD-DVD's go, but at some point, when Haali adds support for True-HD (which he says he plans on doing), then it's hard to say if eac3to will be updated.

It was caused by a bug in my SATA driver. It caused windows to fully cache any file that goes through the "write cache" filling up my ram with the DVD.

Hi!

1) Is this the only attempt you've made at using MakeMKV to create an MKV file from a tsMuxeR-created BD-on-DVD disc?

2) I've read that tsMuxeR does NOT restrict its BluRay creating only to fully BluRay-compatible input files. What was the nature of the original source material from which you created this BD-on-DVD disc?

3) Was the BD-on-DVD disc formatted as UDF 2.50?

4) Does this disc play properly?

5) Does the following have anything to do with this specific disc? I ask because I've never seen any reference to "cells" when MakeMKV is processing a BluRay:Title #0 was added (35 cell(s), 2:25:51)
Operation sucessfully completed
Saving 1 titles into directory H:/BD_HP1
0 titles saved, 1 failed

6) I just loaded a BluRay-compliant .M2TS file into tsMuxeR, set it to "BluRay", processed it and then burned the resultant BluRay "package" to a DVD-5. I then used MakeMKV to successfully convert it to an .MKV file.

Many thanks, setarip_old.
Sorry, it was the wrong listing. This is the right one:
MakeMKV v1.4.9 beta win(x86-release) started
Using direct disc access mode
AACS directory not present, assuming unencrypted disc
File 00000.mpls was added as title #0
Operation sucessfully completed
Saving 1 titles into directory D:/temp
Failed to save title 0 to file D:/temp/title00.mkv
0 titles saved, 1 failed
Now I know, the error comes from an old version of tsMuxeR, and the muxed AVC stream has a bug (b-pyramid, and stuttering play). A new remuxed MKV with mkvMerge GUI plays fine.
My other BD-9s saved by tsMuxeR work fine with makeMKV.

@frankMany thanks, setarip_old.Glad to hear of the simple resolution! As always, it's my pleasure - especially when more often than not, what may appear to be "leading" questions that I ask (As I've done since the era of BBSs and 75 Baud acoustic couplers - and which are intended to both narrow the list of possible causes of problems and possibly enhance the thought processes of the O.P.s) simply lead to resolutions of posters' problems;>}

I have used this great program for several rips and it seems to have worked great, except for subtitles. I've spent the last several days reading everything I could find, but I haven't found anything resembling a definitive answer, which makes me think there is not one.

The resultant MKV files have the subtitles I have chosen, but none of them are the forced subs (I understand this is on the "soon" list), but the subs it does rip are not playable in any player or combination of filters I can find.

So, what do I have to do to get subtitles to play from the rips this great program makes/saves. They are saved in the PGS format, and I understand they are simply copied, untouched, from the disc, which makes sense. But if no one can read/play/use these subtitles, what is the point of having them in this format?

It seems I will need to strip them out of the MKV , convert them to either .sub or .srt files then mux them back in. I can live with doing this if necessary, but I can't figure out hos to get them out of the MKV in a way that lets me convert them. BDSup2Sub cannot read from the MKV file, so how do I get them into this program to convert them?

Most of what sounds like it will work for me states that anydvd is a requirement, but I would rather not pay for that if possible. I see that makeMKV now has the option to copy the disc to my hard drive, but I don't believe it strips the copy protection in this process, so the guides still won't work on this "disc".

Better yet, is there ANY other way to just use them as they are in the MKV file and not convert them at all?

I hope this is not a stupid question, but I have read so much that it has all jumbled together and any further reading has not cleared anything up in my head.

I have nearly every program mentioned downloaded, and many installed, but nothing has given me subtitles on the Blu-ray rips. the DVD rips work great.

My goal is to get everything converted into MKV files, install the minimum of codecs and filters and simplify my setup.

any help will be very much appreciated.
