Can I use WinSCP to do that or does it have to be Putty?

rikkards Wrote:For which part putty or ripping the blu-ray?
If it is running on a normal linux machine you could always do it in a terminal but for putty it is like telnet you put in the ip address of the machine, put in the user name hit enter, then the password hit enter. At that point you are in.
For ripping if you want the complete disk it is makemkvcon backup disc:0 <PATHTOSAVETO>
For the <PATHTOSAVETO> replace it with where you want to save it. Just make sure you have a lot of space. If you want to save it on a windows box then you will need to mount a network share to some folder. In this case Google is your friend and mount and SMB are what you want to look for.

makemkvcon backup disc:0 </home/jamesz>
and got message -bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
Now I tried... makemkvcon backup disc:0 /home/jamesz
this seems to work. This is going to take a very long time right?

rikkards Wrote:To be honest, no idea. I know there are other programs that will identify a file, codecs etc. I think in windows Gspot is one. However I just tried it and it didn't read the file.

Easiest way to to use the addon executable (Not sure if it is named that), click on it and put in the path /usr/bin/makemkv and name it backup. Click on backup you just created and it should open the makemkv window, go to tools and you need to set the paths and also need to create the SVQ folder in your home directory. If your using 1.6.5 it will download all the back SVQ files needed to play as well as backup the dvd.
Within makemkv once it scans the disk, you can remove the checkmarks on the folders you do not want. I just keep the largest one with the video and all the english subtitles and forced subtiles within it. I uncheck all others, I only speak english, so no need for all the other audio streams with subtitles, saves a bunch of space.
rikkards Wrote:Question I have is how do we choose or change audio streams while watching a blu-ray? I assume it is probably the same for DVDs except I haven't found it for that yet either.
