FOSS Alternative to MakeMKV (www.reddit.com)

Looking for a FOSS way to backup my encrypted Blueray disks so I can stream them with Jellyfin and not worry about the disks getting scratched.

Much like the linked post, I hope this thread serves as a snapshot or "state of the industry" as of April 2024.

It's not really possible to make an open source equivalent to MakeMKV. That would mean anyone could see the decryption key and it would be revoked immediately.

The software could be open-source, but the keys distributed as a proprietary binary blob.

But as long as you're bundling keys, they can be extracted, whether like that or however makemkv is doing it.

How would the key be revoked when the blurays are already out there?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Future releases will not be able to be decrypted if the key is revoked.

Makes sense...
