MakeMKV - Blu-ray/DVD/Hd-dvd decryptor and remuxer

[Kurtnoise]

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:

@Kurtnoise

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.

doesn't prove anything...try what I said first.

@Kurtnoise

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)...

And let's include DumpHD which works on all titles apart from those with MKBV9 keys and can handle BD+ which makemkv cannot, yet

since when decrypted BD discs (embedded or not in containers) are responsible of choppiness ?

I don't get your point...anyway I give up. :rolleyes:

@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]

@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.

[setarip_old]

@Mike Chen

It will be fixed soon.looking forward to it ;>}

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.

:rolleyes:

[Happysin]

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.

[Doom9]

@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]

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.

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.


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?

[machser]

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

Well I am with you in the confusion part. I just wanted to get my files onto my HTPC so I can play them after HD DVD's demise is total. It seems rather confusing so far. I dont have that many though and am just ripping them all to the HDD with any dvd HD trial.

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.

[setarip_old]

@lchiiu7Then found DumpHD does the jobDoes that program require any hardware modifications?

[setarip_old]

@Mike Chen

If I may ask, how is the VC-1 fix coming along?

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

[lchiu7]

@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.

[sxotty]

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?

edit:
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 :)

[Sukrim]

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.

Regards

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.

Thanks for the tool, Mike ;)

Worked flawlessly and took no extra tricks or anything to get my Blu-ray copy of Iron man to rip. I didn't like having to use as many as 4 different things (which didn't even work!) just rip my movie, but yours worked without any hiccups!

Hi folks,

From Mike's web page this tool is NOT a FREEWARE ... only while being tested :D by various folks from different Forums!:sly:

G!:confused:

[setarip_old]

@gonwk

That's already and always has been common knowledge.

Read the initial post to this thread:The program is currently freeware but some functionality will become trialware in future while some wil stay free forever.

Hi Mike,

I still have no luck trying to read ISO image of BD-ROM created with PS3 LINUX.

I tried to mount ISO via Virtual Clone and also point MakeMKV to ISO file itself. This is the message I get when pointing it to ISO :

The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted
FAILURE: Code 0 at 0+<#\#G}+7VmTM(::121262141
FAILURE: Code 0 at 0+<#\#G}+7VmTM(::121262394
Failed to open disc

I know ISO is ok, because it works under AnyDVD, can be played with various Media Players as well as read by MakeMKV.

Message is slightly different when mounted under Virtual Clone, but the result is the same.

Not sure if there is a way to pass Disc ID to the tool, I know what it is. Using Windows XP SP2 + UDF 2.5 driver + MakeMKV 1.3 778

@drfix

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

@Sagekilla

Hi!

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

2) What version of "MakeMKV" did you use?

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

[Sagekilla]

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.

Like I said, the rip to my drive went through flawlessly. I did a rip of the Serenity Blu-ray (VC-1 encoded) and it also went through without a hiccup. No problems playing it back either.

[setarip_old]

@SagekillaI did a rip of the Serenity Blu-ray (VC-1 encoded) and it also went through without a hiccup. No problems playing it back either.Mysterious - Looks like I'll have to purchase a couple of more VC-1 releases...

May I ask what brand and model number of BD-ROM (or burner) do you have?

[Sagekilla]

A vanilla Sony BDU-10XS. Nothing special, just a little over a year old now.

This sounds bad. Can you please try to grab decrypted ISO and then open it with MakeMKV - I wonder if it is a drive or data problem. Are you sure it shows only on VC-1 discs?

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.

[Sagekilla]

@Mike, setarip_old: I found that issue regarding VC-1 discs ripping very slowly. I just tried ripping a copy of "The Dark Knight" (Blu-ray, VC-1 encoded) and it's only reading at ~100 KB/s.

Any thoughts with regards to what I can do to fix this?

[setarip_old]

@Sagekilla

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)?

[drfix]

Hi setarip_old,

I tried 1-4 and that was is working. I was hoping I can get away w/o using AnyDVD though.

Hi Mike,

Obviously, it's clear to me now how to format file with keys.

VUK isn't posted in forum, but you mentioned "In addition to ISO you need either VUK (volume key) or VID (volume ID) for the disc."

is there a way to calculate VID from ISO image ?

@Mike Chen

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).

Build 722 is, as I write this, happily chugging along at full speed toward creating an .MKV ;>}

Please advise

[setarip_old]

@drfixHi setarip_old,
I tried 1-4 and that was is working.You're welcome ;>}
