Just for the fun of it !
I purchased an ex rental Bluray (Appaloosa). To play my perfectly legal Bluray on Linux, one has to convert it to mkv format.
All credits to the guys form MakeMKV - Make MKV from Blu-ray and DVD and for the openSUSE howto credit to “Wagonfixin”
Make sure you have all required tools and libraries installed. You’ll need GNU compiler and linker and header and library files for following libraries: glibc, openssl-0.9.8, zlib, qt4.
Download binary and source packages. The link:
www.makemkv.com • View topic - MakeMKV 1.6.2 for Linux is available
As per “Wagonfixin” URL:
www.makemkv.com • View topic - How-2 Install MakeMKV for non-Debian Linux (openSuSE)
sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
sudo zypper install libopenssl-devel Mesa-devel libqt4-devel
tar -xvf makemkv_v*_oss.tar.gz
cd makemkv_v*_oss/
make -f makefile.linux
sudo make -f makefile.linux install
tar xvf makemkv_v*_bin.tar.gz
cd makemkv_v*_bin/
make -f makefile.linux
sudo make -f makefile.linux install
Create a KDE4 icon (for current user):
vi ~/.local/share/applications/MakeMKV.desktop
Insert:
