I feel this is kind of a dumb question but I can’t find a solution that’s working for me:
every now and then I have the need to rip copy protected dvds. In the past I have used Handbrake with libdvdcss. But now there only seems to be flatpak versions of Handbrake for linux and these versions can’t access the libdvdcss library.
VLC should be able to do the job but for a specific dvd I wnt to rip now, I produces out-of-sync video/audio tracks and I haven’t been able to succeed.
I can’t believe ripping dvd’s can be that hard. Do I miss something obvious? Any tips are appreciated, aside from just download it - I can’t find the respective media anywhere…
Building MakeMKV seems to require a binary, which is unfree. I assume this is the reason it’s not in official distribution repos (except Nix and FreeBSD).
It’s in the AUR and Nixpkgs, both automate building it from “source” (+binary). MakeMKV is in FreeBSDs official repos, according to pkgs.org.

I was referring to Hanbrake which is mentioned in the post.
Well, it seems my reading skill deteriorated to a surprising extent. You’ve even mentioned handbrake in your post…
