I’m well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.

I’ve heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I’m unsure how well it’d run under Wine.

I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it’s not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.

Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I’m still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I’m not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)

      Depending on your location and internet speed, you might be better off dabbling.

      Some places let you own a backup copy legally, and if you’ve got decent internet, it might even be faster than ripping and converting it yourself.

        This. I can get a 15ish GB 4k movie torrented faster than I could rip and transcode it.

        In Minecraft of course
