mkvtoolnix is pretty good. It doesn't catch special features and other extras from the disk, but getting the main movie is usually not an issue.
you might want to have a look at this software: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info makemkv is not libre software.
I gave in and bought makemkv yesterday. It just works.
I bought a lifetime license for makemkv like 15 years ago. It was the single best software purchase I’ve ever made. It just works on all platforms and for all disks. The hardest I’ve ever had to work at it is to “manually” open all the tracks and play a little guessing game for what track is the real one - but it’s ripped every CD and blu ray I’ve ever thrown at it.
My latest config is fedora workstation 42 with a portable blue ray burner drive. Works like a champ.
Not asked for but honorable mention goes to EAC for ripping CDs. I run that in bottles just fine.
I just went back to EAC this week (actually forgot about it after using it forever).
Nothing works as simply/easily. It "just works".
Ah so after buying hundreds of dollars in blurays, I have to spend more money in getting software to download what I bought and paid for.
Yep or another method (which is more pain in the ass) is going to that one post thread on their forum and used the free trial licence key which you need to add another key once it expires. Pick your poison lol
Yes.

You bought and paid for the physical copy. I thought that was the point.
But given time, all physical media deteriorates. If you buy physical media, you should have the means to back it up.
I've been using mkv beta for years, you don't have to pay for it (yet). Works perfectly fine, extracting subtitles is a pain in the ass so far though.
Also I use mkv to rip the bluray and then handbrake so my smart tv can play it, file size is smaller and all that.
are you using subtitle edit to generate the subtitle (srt) files? that's what i use, it's not horrible... but work.
Normally I wouldn't be opposed to paying for something like this, but it's a corner case for me. The license costs more than the physical media.
you'll also want mkvnix tool as well to edit the mkvs. you are going down the hole.
Been using MKV for a while, running it in a VM so I can adjust the system date so it'll work until the next update.
Will be buying it after the 1st of the month.
So... the fact that the beta literally just never finishes scanning my disk is because I need to purchase it? o.O
That sounds more like your drive not being supported by LibreDrive. OP talked about expired beta keys, which is a current problem with makemkv.

Did not try but the library tyeg are mentioned ia in Debian and Ubuntu repos so you only need to download there the keysdb.
Installing libblueray2 library would also install libaacs0 library for this in Debian.
If it does not work: either the KEYSDB is outdated or the encryption of your blue ray is BD+ (libbdplus), which requires other library and other set of keys.
I'm unsure how the keysdb works. I'm on Ubuntu, so Debian based. Sorry for the noob questions.
Is described in the website I linked.
Install libaacs with vlc in Ubuntu (search on synaptic) then follow the website.
I haven't run into any issues with MakeMKV, which I bought years ago. Only issue I ran into was some UHD discs won't read properly, but that was an issue with my Blu-Ray device. I have a new-ish Pioneer with a firmware flash and it reads everything fine.
I just used Handbrake, but there has been one or two discs that it couldn't see, presumably due to some overly aggressive protection.
I ripped 298 Blu-Rays and a smaller number of DVDs with MakeMKV. Twice because I lost the whole collection due to my own bs the first time (make sure you have excellent backups, folks). I would not go through the process a third time, but that has nothing to do with the software.
