无论围绕它的可疑合法性是什么,我认为您完全有权对合法购买的DVD(DVDs)和蓝光(Blu-Rays)进行数字备份(“翻录”) 。光盘(Discs)不会永远存在,因此您需要在硬盘驱动器上进行数字备份以防万一。只要您不非法在线共享该文件,那么您就没有违反任何法律。
现代(Modern)光盘通常内置有复制保护,但有一个软件程序通常非常擅长绕过该保护并提供电影或电视节目的高质量高清副本。该应用程序称为MakeMKV。DVD光盘是免费的,但对于蓝光(Blu-Rays)光盘,您必须在 30 天试用期后为激活密钥付费。
使用 MakeMKV 翻录光盘(Ripping Your Discs With MakeMKV)
MakeMKV——顾名思义——为您的光盘生成一个MKV文件。MKV是“ Matroska ”的缩写,是一种开源文件格式,可以通过VLC Player轻松播放。如果您想使用其他媒体播放器,则需要安装编解码器才能使文件正常工作。
关于MKV(MKV)文件要记住的另一件事是它们的大小往往非常大。
正是出于这两个原因,我总是使用(always)Handbrake将 MKV 文件转换为 MP4 。MP4可以制作更小的文件,并且可以立即与更多的媒体播放器兼容。
现在我们知道我们在做什么,让我们看看MakeMKV是如何
工作的。
Crank It Up!
当你打开MakeMKV时,你会看到这个窗口。
如果DVD或蓝光(Blu-Ray)已经在DVD驱动器中,
MakeMKV将检测到它并自动显示它。但是,如果您有多个DVD驱动器,则可能需要下拉“源”菜单并选择正确的一个。
不过在这里,我只有一个。所以我很高兴去。
现在单击大DVD驱动器图标,程序将开始扫描驱动器。
它将寻找潜在的错误,判断复制保护,并删除可能不属于电影或特殊功能的小文件。此过程可能需要几分钟,因此您需要耐心等待。在这种情况下,需要十分钟。较旧的光盘通常更快。
此过程完成后,它将显示所有
DVD或蓝光“(Blu-Ray “)章节”。
现在,常识表明电影本身就是最大的文件。在这种情况下,第一个时钟为 33.3GB。其他超过 1 GB 的可能是磁盘上的特殊功能。是否要撕掉这些完全取决于您。
将鼠标或触控板箭头放在章节框中的任意位置,然后单击鼠标右键。现在选择“取消全选”。这将删除每章中的所有刻度。
假设您只想要电影。勾选相关框以选择它,然后单击标题以下拉菜单并找到每种可用语言的电影的每个版本。
就我而言,我只想要English。因此,单击您想要的英语(English)版本——如您所见,共有三个。
假设我想要字幕,然后我会向下滚动到字幕并选择我想要的字幕。但这次我不会选择他们。
在右侧,您将看到完成的电影所在的“输出”文件夹。如果需要,请将其更改为最终的位置。然后点击右侧的“制作MKV”。
现在就等着吧。众所周知,蓝光需要很长时间,因为文件太大了。请记住(Remember),这个超过 30GB。另一方面,DVD 更小,因此速度更快。
当它最终完成时,您会发现您的漂亮的新MKV文件已准备就绪,正等着您。如果您安装了VLC Player,则可以立即播放。
但正如我所说,我建议使用Handbrake将其转换为MP4。这使文件更容易和灵活。
如果您决定不为激活密钥付费,只需确保在 30 天试用期内完成所有蓝光翻录(没有限制)。但如果可能的话,购买一把钥匙来支持开发者,因为这是我多年来一直在使用的一款了不起的软件。
How To Rip Your DVDs & Blu-Rays Effortlessly With MakeMKV
Whatever the dubious legаlity surrounding it is all
about, I would argue that you have every right to make a digital backup (“rip”)
of yоur legally bought DVDs and Blu-Rays. Discs do not last forever so yoυ need
to have a digital backup sitting on yoυr hard-drive just in case. As long aѕ
уou don’t illegally share that file online, then you haven’t broken аny laws.
Modern discs quite often have copy protection built in but there is one software program which is often quite good at bypassing that protection and delivers a high quality HD copy of your movie or TV show. That app is called MakeMKV. It is free for DVD discs but for Blu-Rays, you have to pay for an activation key after a 30 day trial period.
Ripping Your Discs With MakeMKV
MakeMKV – as the name implies – generates a MKV file of your disc. MKV is short for “Matroska”, it is an open-source file format, and it can be played easily by VLC Player. If you want to use another media player, you will need to install codecs to make the file work.
Another thing to bear in mind about MKV files is that
they tend to be really large in size.
It’s for these two reasons that I always convert MKV files into MP4 using Handbrake. MP4 makes smaller files as well as being immediately compatible with more media players.
Now we know what we are making, let’s see how MakeMKV
works.
Crank It Up!
When you open MakeMKV, you will see this window.
If the DVD or Blu-Ray is already in the DVD drive,
MakeMKV will detect it and automatically show it. However, if you have more
than one DVD drive, you may have to drop down the “Source” menu and choose the
correct one.
Here though, I only have one. So I am good to go.
Now click on the large DVD drive icon and the program
will begin scanning the drive.
It will look for potential errors, judge the copy
protection, and remove tiny files which are likely not part of the movie or
special features. This process can take quite a few minutes so you need to be
patient. In this case, it took ten minutes. Older discs are often faster.
Once this process is finished it will show all of the
DVD or Blu-Ray “chapters”.
Now, common sense dictates that the movie itself is
the largest file. In this case, the first one clocking in at 33.3GB. The other
ones over a gigabyte are likely the special features on the disk. Whether or
not you want to rip those is entirely up to you.
Place your mouse or trackpad arrow anywhere in the
chapter box and right-click. Now select “Unselect All”. This will remove all
the ticks from each chapter.
Let’s assume you only want the movie. Tick the
relevant box to select it, then click on the title to drop down the menu and
find each version of the movie in each language available.
In my case, I only want English. So click which
version of English you want – as you can see, there are three.
Assuming I wanted subtitles, I would then scroll down
to the subtitles and choose which ones I wanted. But I am not going to choose
them this time.
On the right, you will see the “Output” folder where
the finished movie will go. If need be, change that to where you want it to be
in the end. Then click “Make MKV” on the right.
Now just wait. Blu-Rays notoriously take a long time
as the files are so big. Remember, this one is over 30GB. DVDs on the other
hand are smaller and are subsequently much quicker.
When it is finally finished, you will find your nice
new MKV file ready and waiting for you. If you have VLC Player installed, you can play it right
away.
But as I said, I would recommend using Handbrake to convert it to MP4. This makes the file much easier and flexible.
And if you decide not to pay for an activation key,
just be sure to do all of your Blu-Ray ripping in the 30 day trial period
(which has no limitations). But if possible, buy a key to support the developer
as this is an amazing piece of software that I have been using for years.
