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.

eris23: Thanks for the updated links.

PoolScholar: Your best bet would be to post your error on the MakeMKV forums. They will be able to help you better than I could.

Hello. I am fairly new to Linux, although learning quickly. I cannot get this to work. Followed everything exactly, and everything seems to be fine right up until I get into VLC and push Play. It errors with: “Your input can’t be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘http://localhost:51000/stream/title0.ts’.” Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tutorial but this didn’t work for me and now that it is shareware I want to get rid of it. How can I do a complete uninstall?

Many thanks again.

Instead of streaming directly from the BD drive, Can MakeMKV transcode it to the MKV container (saving about 40% of space as it claims for Blu-Ray) and then stream from that container on HD?
