  • Doesn’t look like it supports libdvdcss in any way.

    Check that library and look for alternatives. dvdbackup is what I used back in the day.

    Edit: looks like people still use dvdbackup. Which is open source. Dump the disk with it and then use handbrake.

    Though I don’t know if this will be raw video passthrough like MakeMKV. But you probably want to compress it anyway. I don’t know why you’d want to keep a 8GB 1080p video in 2025 with the modern compression we have today. This is why there is CPU intensive stuff happening in handbrake. It’s using modern compression. Do you not want this? Just want to dump the massive files and be done?

    Wish I had time to mess around making something like this. There definitely SHOULD be an open source project. These are all very doable things. My guess is it’s just not worth anyone’s effort when MakeMKV or dvdbackup exist.
