Makemkv Crashing with Fatal Error Popup

I am running Makemkv 1.9.1 from the repo on openSUSE 13.2. I am able to extract my Bluray disc files when copying the DD or DTS tracks. However, if attempt to use the FLAC profile to convert the lossless audio into FLAC the program crashes once it begins “analyzing seamless segments”. On my Linux Mint 17.1 setup, I don’t have this issue. It also happens even when I download and manually install the version from the website (the latest I tried was 1.9.2). I have tried clearing the config files, different discs, reinstalls etc with no success. I have tried running it from the terminal to see if it givens any indication of why the fatal error occurs, but I don’t get anything.

Anyone experiencing something similar or know how to sort this out? Mildly annoying as I’m trying to archive my Battlestar Galactica Blurays lol. Thanks.

Do you have the proper codecs installed for the format you are converting? You did not mention which lossless format :stuck_out_tongue:

I believe I have all the codecs installed. I have everything gstreamer and FFMpeg related installed. Both DTS-MA and TrueHD cause the error from my testing.

1.9.2 is out, just installed yesterday from MakeMKV directly rather than
from the repos (I didn’t know it was in the repos - it probably shouldn’t
be, because it contains binary blobs and includes technology related to
restricted formats).

Thanks. I acutally updated to 1.9.2 today when I saw it was out and got the same result, which makes me think it something beyond Makemkv causing the issue, just not sure what. Sadly, I only have one rig with a Bluray drive to do testing on so I don’t know if it isolated to just that rig and I haven’t had the time to work on sharing the drive via my network to one of my other systems.

I would look to do a clean installation. Not seen that problem here
myself, if that helps.

Thanks, I thought I managed to wipe everything and do a completely clean install at some point in this process, but I’ll give it another go and see what turns up. Thanks for your help.

I completely removed everything and did a fresh install of 1.9.2 from the website. Same result. It dies 3/4 of the way through analyzing seamless segments with a Fatal Error. I don’t see any errors in the log file. It shows it is access the DTS frames and then the log stops without any error. Puzzling.

Very strange - sounds like a question for the folks who write the
software - they at least ought to be able to help diagnose the issue.

I took a look on Makemkv’s website and sure enough I seem to have found a solution.

http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2047

I did a fresh install of 1.9.2 following these instructions and successfully ripped a Bluray right after. I’m not sure what the difference was from running these steps, maybe the libffmpeg-devel package which I don’t think was installed was the difference. Seems from that thread Makemkv on non-Debian systems needs a little special love.

Many thanks for all your help.

No problem. I must’ve already had that package installed. :slight_smile:
