Anybody ever found a hacked version of any “supposed BluRay/UHD rippers” like DVDFab, DumboFab or Leawo that actually worked? I really liked Leawo and got a good copy from TorrentGalaxy but when it attempts to read the BluRay and, I guess, get its information, the software returns an error message and freezes up. The only software I’ve found that’ll handle most everything is MakeMKV but the only thing I don’t like about MakeMKV is no preview option plus sometimes it coughs a furball on regular DVDs.
I use handbrake with libaacs, libbdplus and an up-to-date keydb

With these in place, you can just read and transcode a Blu Ray like any other media.
Nice, that works? Fantastic!
Note, MakeMKV for Linux has source code available at least, so not fully proprietary.
Could you make a tutorial post on the exact setup? For NixOS at least VLC itself needs patching
MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.
