Ripping in particular requires you to be around to swap discs. I ended up needing about 20TB for the rips and another 12 or so for the converted versionsĢ. Ripping 3D discs is really tricky (or I should say, there's no easy way to play them back as 3D)ġ. MakeMKV for ripping, something like Handbrake for converting to another format for easy streaming (or just stream from the MKVs) You'll need lots and lots of hard drives for a big collection There are ones that charge a yearly license fee that exceeds MakeMKV's one-time cost.Īnd I certainly wouldn't want to try to do without it, faced with digging out any one of the thousands of disks I've ripped with it, just to watch some video.I have sorta done this recently. There are free rippers (at least for DVD). We came to the conclusion that it is worth supporting the author.Īs for "irreplaceable", MakeMKV is not the most OR least expensive alternative out there. The cost of continuing to use MakeMKV without a permanent key is dealing with the above-mentioned restrictions. It's fine if you're so "fiscally challenged" after purchasing you DVDs, BDs, and UHDs that you're coming up with explanations to justify not buying a license. And the permanent license key I purchased in January 2011 has not expired. The license price has not changed, except for currency conversion rates, in those 8+ years. Those restrictions are that the beta key expires 6 times per year, and you do have to undergo some tedious actions to keep the Bluray functionality "alive", if you don't buy a permanent key of your very own. "it's MUCH too expensive for free software" - I do not recall seeing a message in the last 8 years I've been here where Mike (you know, the author of the program) described it as "free software", except to say that it was free to use (with restrictions) while it is still in beta. "(how long is it going to drop the protections)" - How long is WHAT going to drop WHICH protections? "buying pirate software" - Since the author of the software is Mike, and he's the one selling it, how is it "pirate software"? Trying to parse your message, and having some trouble with some of the phrases. WOW 1-2 years and still complaining about the key? The easiest solution is BUY the Program! support the developer, and stop freeloading! Does this mean, I have to purchase a key now? I'm just curious because the program says i will not expire until in 79 days.ĭaxelinho wrote:Since a few days I experienced two errors/warnings which made it impossible for me to use the program. Such a thing never happend to me in the time I've been using MakeMKV (about 1 or 2 years). Please download the latest version at or enter a registration key to continue using the current version." After that a third warning appears: "This application version is too old. I hit "OK" and click on help>register and put in the beta key and put in the beta key and it tells me to restart.Īfter I did another message appears: "Your temporary key has expired and was removed. You may still use all free functionality without any restrictions." Please purchase an activation key if you've found this application useful. Since a few days I experienced two errors/warnings which made it impossible for me to use the program.
