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 optical 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 avail- able 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 com- plete documentation is available online at https://www.makemkv.com/developers/usage.txt For some examples what you can put in your configuration file, see http://wiki.indie-it.com/wiki/MakeMKV 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 installation. If your sys- tem's configuration changes, you must run this script as root manually, so new or changed drives can be found. FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly May 20, 2019 MAKEMKVCON(1)
