        I thought I needed makemkv to put it in handbrake. Have I been doing it wrong?

          Handbrake can handle DVDs directly; you’ll need Make MKV for Blu-Rays.

          I’m on Debian. I just apt install handbrake and it worked. If it was a dependency, it was automatically installed.

      I’m a fan of ARM. https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

      I run it in a podman container, passing my BluRay drive though. It rips automatically, and attempts to even lookup the metadata for the disk to file it properly. It’s not perfect, but it does work quite well. The only issue I have with it is it does a poor job on TV shows, but I’ve found nothing better, so it is good enough for me.
