This is not as hard as it sounds the MakeMKV forums cover the process step-by-step. Installing MakeMKV on most Linux distributions is done by compiling it. Install VLC (from the Ubuntu repo, not the Snap Store).The process to get it working is very simple: Personally, I reason that BluRay is a proprietary format to start with, and since I already use lots of closed-source software for entertainment purposes, e.g., Steam, Netflix, Spotify, etc… Why not!?īut while MakeKMKV is technically software you have to buy all of its features (including the stuff that lets you play BluRays WITH menus in VLC) is “free” while the app is in beta.Īnd the app has been in beta for around 10 years 💁🏻‍♂️.

MakeMKV is proprietary, paid-for software - and it’s at this point some of you will nope-out.
