makemkv has many good features. 1) Lossless 2) has a command line only version so I can script it. I still have a gripe regarding makemkv. It makes requests off to the internet and gets responses. I have no idea what these requests are for, and what data is sent or returned. I have therefore started reverse engineering makemkv. What I have found so far is very interesting, but I have not got to the bottom of it yet. Basically, makemkv does not bother with processing keys and host private keys, it somehow gets the job done without needing them. For example, makemkv does in fact contain some processing keys, but only has them up to mkv v10. I can place a mkv v20 blu ray disk in and makemkv has no problem playing it. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
