try running MakeMKV as sudo `sudo makemkv`
only as a test for now

@tame patio why not use handbreak?
tame patio
@jovial ledge can't do blurays, and my experience with handbrake has been mixed on reading from drives

try running MakeMKV as sudo `sudo makemkv`
did that, currently at 5 mins at "scanning for cd-rom devices"

Yeah, sounds like MakeMKV’s hanging while trying to talk to the drive.
Try running dmesg while it scans to see if the system is even detecting the disc, or try a different disc just to rule that out.
Also
switching to makemkv-bin instead of the source version might help.

running dmesg gave out a lot, not sure how much you want

Run dmesg | tail -n 50 right after the hang happens and paste that
chilly cloak
No idea💀
it looks like MakeMKV is stuck at trying to access the drive
It seriously looks like a faulty drive
Also worth trying on a different USB port or booting into Windows to see if the drive works fine there
tame patio
tried plugging it straight in, makemkv can now recognize the drive, but it fails to open discs
chilly cloak
Nice, at least it sees the drive now! If it still can’t open discs, might be a bad or unsupported disc, or maybe AACS protection messing with it.
You might have to try a diff drive
just to rule that out
tame patio
i'm pretty sure the drive is fine, works on windows. currently have a dvd in the drive
chilly cloak
hm...it is a issue on the linux side ig....?
try installing libdvdcss
and see if that does anything
tame patio
it is installed
tame patio
neither work
chilly cloak
weird....i honestly have no idea now
tame patio
actually, i'm digging around on makemkv's website, and it seems like this has been an issue for a bit now
chilly cloak
Ya i gave that a look as well...
chilly cloak
wtf is this
Lmao that’s wild, so Blu-rays work but DVDs don’t?
Could be a region lock or driver quirk with DVD support on Linux.
tame patio
it can open blu rays completely fine
chilly cloak
Might be worth checking regionset to see if your drive's DVD region is set
sudo regionset /dev/sr0
or something like that i forgot
tame patio
hangs
chilly cloak
nvm
