You’ll also need VLC installed, as described above. To install MakeMKV from this repository, open a terminal and run the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:heyarje/makemkv-beta sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install makemkv-bin makemkv-oss Currently, the most up-to-date PPA we’ve found for this is the makemkv-beta PPA. However, Ubuntu users can install MakeMKV using the much easier apt-get command. You’ll just have to check this forum post every month and refresh the beta key to continue using MakeMKV, assuming it stays in beta.Īnother forum post provides instructions for installing MakeMKV on Linux. However, MakeMKV is free to use while in beta, and it’s been in beta for three years. It’s proprietary software with a free 30-day trial, and will theoretically cost $50 to continue using after that.
While there are technically paid DVD players you can purchase for Linux, there’s no officially licensed way to play back Blu-rays on Linux. How to Play (Some) Blu-rays on Linux with VLCīlu-rays are a bit more complicated. That should ensure VLC is correctly using libdvdcss. If it doesn’t appear to work, try restarting your computer. If that doesn’t work, you may need to specify the device path of your DVD drive here.
VLC should automatically find a DVD disc you’ve inserted and play it back. Click the “Media” menu in VLC, select “Open Disc,” and select the “DVD” option. Once installed, insert your DVD and launch VLC. (Alternatively, you can run sudo apt-get install vlc to install it from the command line.) You can then install VLC from the Software Center if it isn’t installed already. You’ll find instructions and third-party repositories that should make the process easy.
For other Linux distributions, perform a web search for “install libdvdcss” and the name of your Linux distribution.
