1) What will the pricing scheme look like when MakeMKV is no longer beta?
A) This is not determined yet. likely one-time fee.

These idiots actually plan on selling an app containing stolen encryption codes? They will go to prison so fast. Why not just release the code that way we can all use it. If we can rip and transcode it I see no reason why we can’t just play it if the same code was put in a media player like mplayer. Tell them it’s better to be the ones who gave bluray to linux than being inn prison next time you talk to them.

I jumped through some hoops to get MakeMKV to compile (install new OpenSSL, link to correct Qt4). Now it runs, but does not see my iHOS104 Lite-On BD-ROM drive at all. It finds my two DVD-RW drives, which are on IDE, but not the BD-ROM which is on SATA. I can play DVDs in that drive with linux and MPlayer, however. It’s called /dev/sr0 with major 11 and minor 0, if that helps to answer my question. The question? Oh, yeah:
What do I have to do to get it to recognize my drive?

Awesome program!
The only issue I’m having is buffering problems when streaming to VLC. The buffer measure is always on top…so the sound does not stop but the frames they really do, a lot.

I installed it in the latest release of Ubuntu 10.04 64 bits. I’ve 1GB ram, my Dell pc is a dual intel 2.66 GHz

Please tell me what I need to add in order to have a good stream. More memory ?
Also using the built-in video card. A nvidia geforce will perform better ?
Thanks in advance.
