MAKEMKVCON(1)		    General Commands Manual		 MAKEMKVCON(1)

NAME
       makemkvcon  --  read  video  from DVD or	Bluray disc and	convert	to mkv
       format

SYNOPSIS
       makemkvcon [--minlength=seconds]	info source_spec
       makemkvcon    [--minlength=seconds]    mkv    source_spec    title_spec
		  target_directory

DESCRIPTION
       The makemkvcon utility shows information	about a	video disc in an opti-
       cal  drive,  the	 mkv subcommand	also converts selected titles from the
       disc to .mkv files in a given location.

       The arguments are as follows:

       --minlength=seconds
	       Only consider video titles with a minimal length	of seconds. If
	       you use the mkv subcommand after	the info subcommand, make sure
	       to pass the same	value for seconds,  as	filtering  out	titles
	       with a smaller length happens before numbering the titles.

       source_spec
	       Read  video  disc  from the given source.  Use "disc:0" here to
	       have makemkvcon read from the first video disc it can find.

       title_spec
	       Determines which	titles to read.	 This can be  either  a	 whole
	       number  from  0 to n-1 for a disc with n	titles to read exactly
	       one title, or the string	"all" to read all titles found.

       target_directory
	       The path	where to store the converted .mkv files.

FILES
       ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf
	       You may put a license key in this file in the following format:
		     app_Key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX..."
	       You can either buy a license or use the	key,  that  is	freely
	       available    as	  long	  as   MakeMKV	 is   in   beta	  from
	       https://www.makemkv.com/forum/.

EXAMPLES
	     % makemkvcon mkv disc:0 0 .

       This command reads the first title from the first disc it can find  and
       stores a	converted .mkv file in the current directory.

SEE ALSO
       This  manpage  only  describes  the most	commonly used options.	A more
       complete	     documentation	is	available      online	    at

BUGS
       On FreeBSD, makemkvcon crashes with a signal  11	 (segmentation	fault)
       after  finishing	 its  job.   Be	aware this might leave a .core file on
       your file system.

KNOWN ISSUES
       To find optical drives, makemkvcon uses some entries from Linux'	 sysfs
       that  aren't  present  on FreeBSD.  A script `update-makemkv-drives` is
       included	to fake	these entries and is run  automatically	 on  installa-
       tion.  If your system's configuration changes, you must run this	script
       as root manually, so new	or changed drives can be found.
