This port is CLI only and leaves out the MakeMKV GUI, because makemkvcon (closed source Linux binary) won't run in guiserver mode. Also, as described in the pkg-message, it requires a custom FreeBSD kernel with the Linux SCSI generic drivers and has to be build by the final user to comply with the license terms. Work is ongoing with the author to have a FreeBSD native version of this port in the future. PR: 238004 Submitted by: Felix Palmen <felix@palmen-it.de>

Video converter reading from DVD and Bluray
|
|
|
|
MakeMKV is your one-click solution to convert video that you own into free and
|
|
patents-unencumbered format that can be played everywhere. MakeMKV is a format
|
|
converter, otherwise called "transcoder". It converts the video clips from
|
|
proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving
|
|
most information but not changing it in any way. The MKV format can store
|
|
multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters.
|
|
There are many players that can play MKV files nearly on all platforms, and
|
|
there are tools to convert MKV files to many formats, including DVD and Blu-ray
|
|
discs.
|
|
|
|
* Reads DVD and Blu-ray discs
|
|
* Reads Blu-ray discs protected with latest versions of AACS and BD+
|
|
* Preserves all video and audio tracks, including HD audio
|
|
* Preserves chapters information
|
|
* Preserves all meta-information (track language, audio type)
|
|
* Fast conversion - converts as fast as your drive can read data.
|
|
* No additional software is required for conversion or decryption.
|
|
* Functionality to open DVD discs is free and will always stay free.
|
|
* All features (including Blu-ray decryption and processing) are free during
|
|
BETA.
|
|
|
|
Known issues on FreeBSD:
|
|
|
|
* Only the commandline interface works, so there is no GUI in this port. The
|
|
port includes a small manpage to get you started using makemkvcon.
|
|
* makemkvcon always crashes on exit (after completing its job), so be aware
|
|
this might leave core files on your system.
|
|
* To find optical drives, makemkvcon uses some entries from Linux' sysfs that
|
|
aren't present on FreeBSD. A script `update-makemkv-drives` is included with
|
|
the port that fakes these entries. It is run automatically on installation,
|
|
but if the system's configuration changes, it must be run manually again by
|
|
root.
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
* A custom FreeBSD kernel with sg devices (Linux' "scsi generic" interface) is
|
|
required to use makemkvcon. To build such a kernel, add "device sg" to your
|
|
kernel configuration and follow the instructions at
|
|
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
|
|
* Make sure you have the "linux" kernel module loaded. On amd64, "linux64" is
|
|
also required.
