It’s free to use while in beta, and it’s been in beta for a few years. MakeMKV is proprietary software with a free 30-day trial. The current free beta key registration code is below and is 'valid until end of January 2017', then we all need a new registration code, or have to purchase this software.MakeMKV is tool converts video clips from DVD / Blu-ray disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information, so that it can be played on your favorite OS with VLC or MPlayer. You do have to enter in the free registration code It is free to use for now with some caveats: I think it is limited on Blu-Ray discs to 720p ripping resolution which is not bad, but for higher Blu-Ray ripping resolutions, you must purchase this software which is well worth it. I have tried most, if not all, DVD and Blu-Ray disc ripping programs available for Linux, and 'MakeMKV' is the best and fastest ripper I have used for backing up, or digitizing, your movie video discs. Install MakeMKV Beta in Ubuntu to Play DVD/Blu-rays Discs, March 12, 2016 I just used it in my Linux Mint 17.3 KDE system with a DVD, and it worked. I have been using the PPA for Linux Mint 17.x or Linux Mint 18. You can install 'MakeMKV' in two easy ways: by using easy to install Linux '.deb' files or by using a PPA. In addition to the good link already provided by 'deepakdeshp', here is another more recent link:

I just read your post and the good replies to it. MakeMKV is not in the Mint 17 repo, though, so I suppose it has to be removed with the command line. So is there any way to work around this obstacle?Ģ) In order to install a new version of MakeMKV, the old one has to be removed first, I assume.

Yet if I am still to use MakeMKV in its current form, there might be no other alternative. That kind of attitude should have no place in Linux, in my view. Still I'm advised to register with, or else to install the latest MakeMKV release.ġ) Registering in order to be able to use a certain application is smacking of patronising typical of MS Windows. Pressing the alert 'OK' button results in MakeMKV disappearing from the screen altogether. An alert appears, stating that my version of MakeMKV is 'too old' now. However, with the end of this job finally in sight, MakeMKV ceases cooperation, all of a sudden. MakeMKV has been installed on it, of fairly recently, and has been of great assistance since in speeding up transfer of my huge DVD collection to. My desktop computer platform is Linux Mint 17 'Qiana'.
