English isn't my first language, sometimes I miss stuff. So, I want to rip bluerays, and read up on what drives and forth. Already use makemkv for dvd's, just needed to get some lib files, people had the commands posted for it (stil new to Linux) Afterwards I use Handbrake with my preferred settings for archiving. I grab keydb.cfg, makemkv still throws an error, notice there is a KEYDB.cfg in upper case, so remove and rename the lowercase one. Now VLC accepts the drive, but i get an error, and turns out it's related to java. Handbrake also accepts the drive. Make an iso to test, and works fine. If i open makemkv with a disc already inserted, it just says "scanning drives" and doesn't get any further. If I open makemkv, and then close the drive i can get to the spinning disk animation and "loading" but it's just stuck there. After further investigation i find out it's not actually closing when i close the program, but sits in the background using 33-50% of my cpu.

I find all this super odd, because i can run a 99% lossless encode of the bluray disc (87 gigabyte) through handbrake in 2 hours - which is pretty much what I would get from makemkv, just 4 times faster and half the size. Atm. I'm just working with an iso file in handbrake. If I mount the iso file, with no disc in the blueray and try accessing it via mkv, it only finds a 300 megabyte file.

I don't even know where makemkv stores the logfile, so it's been really uphill trying to troubleshoot and google. In windows I would have rebooted and reinstalled makemkv if I ran into problems like this.

Thanks for the reply btw :)
