I agree with the FUCK COPYRIGHT statement, but copyright law and patent law have nothing to do with each other. please stop mixing these two concepts together. Richard Stallman has a great presentation where he discusses patent law, I think it is called “Patent law, danger to programmers” or something close to that.
hi, I just found this software that might be interesting to you: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info the author also made a utility for regular dvd. I have not made any tests.
you might want to have a look at this software: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info makemkv is not libre software.
If you find out a way of ripping blu-rays with libre software or find some tools that look like they could be assembled to solve the issue, do share! I don’t feel like doing it myself for now because I have only 5 blu-rays but maybe it would be simple to change my existing script to adapt to blu-ray. Have you tried using dvdbackup or lsdvd on a blu-ray? Both programs rely on libdvdread, maybe it works on blu-ray too. In that case I think it wouldn’t be too hard to adapt dvd2mkv to blu-ray.
Hey I finished my ripping guide and ended up writing my own script which uses only libre software (dvdbackup, lsdvd, mkvmerge and jq). Worked great for my collection of ~350 dvd. Check it out!
Peertube. Then, you can use a peertube search engine like Sepia search to search across many peertube instances, replicating the youtube user interface. Sepia search has a long way to go but if peertube grows it will get there. Searching technology is already a solved problem.
