Assistance with Blu-Ray ripping
Hi everyone, I'm attempting to extract some Blu-ray movies so I can watch them on devices without a Blu-ray player. I'm using Make MKV and facing two main issues while ripping Harry Potter films (this is my first time doing Blu-ray rips).
1. Some files seem to be missing a few minutes. During extraction, the disc produces around 10-15 video files. Most are just interviews or short clips, but there are also 2-3 large 20GB files containing the full movie, plus a smaller file with just a few minutes of content. Inserting these into the video might work in a editor, but sometimes the missing parts are very poor quality. How can I fix this?
2. The full movies are extracted into files of slightly different sizes—for instance, one around 19.2103GB and another at 19.2150GB. They’re not identical, yet they both contain the same movie. Playing either causes the video to appear grainy. I included a screenshot for reference.
I’m guessing each file holds roughly half the pixels of the complete movie, but I’m unsure how to combine them properly or if that would help. [spoiler = 'screenshot'] Anyone have any ideas on how to get clean, complete rips without missing clips and with good quality?
Handbrake transforms the video I suspect won<|pad|>'s not to be damaged? If it violates laws, that seems unreasonable (thought it might), but I don’t mind. If I purchased a movie, I’d expect to watch it on my laptop or computer. To be honest, my desktop has a Blu-ray drive, yet I can’t play the video without either ripping it or using special software to watch Blu-rays, which is the worst option ever. EDIT: Thanks for the suggestion; I’m considering using Handbrake.
I rely solely on Handbrake for extracting DVDs, but DRM-protected files are a hassle. You need to add a plugin for Handbrake to handle those. I've never faced problems with Handbrake and it's straightforward to operate.
Ripping for personal use sits in a blurry zone. Pick MakeMKV, grab the largest and biggest file, rip it out. Next, use Handbreak, High Profile, and compress the file to a reasonable size rather than something like 20GB.
It's because they're warning viewers about the risks involved. Watching such content can lead to legal consequences and financial penalties, so they emphasize the importance of caution.
I've been working on those two problems you mentioned. The second one could just be the intended look of the movie, but I'm unsure how to fix the first one.
