It converts the +video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) discs into a set +of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any +way. MakeMKV can also instantly stream decrypted video without +intermediate conversion to a wide range of players, so you may watch +Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your favorite OS +or on your favorite device. + +This creates a package out of a closed source component (the console +application itself) and an open source component (the libraries and +GUI wrapper). Neither is usable on its own and both are built and/or +packaged using this script. + +This SlackBuild assumes automatic acceptance of the EULA for the closed +source binary component (the open source component has no EULA). You +should read the EULA upon installation at +/usr/doc/makemkv-$VERSION/eula_en_linux.txt and uninstall the +package if you do not agree to its terms. Also note that decrypting +encrypted discs may be illegal depending on where you live. + +Please note that this contains closed-source *commercial* beta software. +It will remain free (as in beer) throughout the beta, but with a few +annoyances (unless you pay for a registration key, which should work +fine with this package): + +MakeMKV BETA has several major restrictions. + +Program is time-limited -- it will stop functioning after 60 days. You +can always download the latest version from makemkv.com that will reset +the expiration date. + +HD-DVD support is limited - some discs may fail to open and not all +audio and subtitle tracks will be preserved. + +Blu-ray and DVD discs are fully supported. + +Note that usually new registration keys are posted in the official +MakeMKV forums so that old time-expired MakeMKV versions will still +work during the beta (so you won't need to immediately upgrade to a +newer version). |
