I have in fact never used MakeMKV in that way, I’ve always used the backup option. That makes it a lot easier, thanks so much for pointing me into the right direction!

That’s exactly what I was looking for - I came across MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent Linux version - didn’t think of Flathub, though. None of the guides that come up if you look for dvd ripping on linux mention it, though… Thanks mate!

Oh great! I came accross MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent version. Didn’t think of Flathub…

Strangely, playing was working fine. Just when I try to convert it has sync issues… I’m probably just too simpleminded to make it work that way, but VLC doesn’t make it easy to do it right either, I guess…

you could look into other ways of pirating, that don’t necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it’s mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you’re only downloading and it doesn’t cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it’s a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you’ll mostly find current mainstream content.

totally would

yes thank you!

what’s the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn’t find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?

You can bind qbittorrent to the vpn network interface. If it’s not there, no traffic. That’s my approach.

It’s a fascist social network

Is PIA still supporting Gab? They are burnt for me since they actively advertised them as affiliates…
