Video converter reading from DVD and Bluray

Video converter reading from DVD and Bluray

MakeMKV is your one-click solution to convert video that you own into free and patents-unencumbered format that can be played everywhere. MakeMKV is a format converter, otherwise called “transcoder”. It converts the video clips from proprietary and usually encrypted disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way.

Only the commandline interface works, so there is no GUI in this port. The port includes a small manpage to get you started using makemkvcon.

Requirements

  • A custom FreeBSD kernel with sg devices Linux’ “scsi generic” interface is required to use makemkvcon. To build such a kernel, add “device sg” to your kernel configuration and follow the instructions at https//docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/#kernelconfig-building
  • Make sure you have the “linux” kernel module loaded. On amd64, “linux64” is also required.
