With the acquisition, the software from SoThinkMedia will be discontinued.Ĭurrent users who purchased licenses of SoThinkMedia are provided with a 50% discount for DVDFab software products and a 20% discount on DVDFab’s Movie Server. DVDFab has sent an email to all its customers explaining the move. The marvellous thing about MakeMKV however is that it can 'emulate' libaacs and libdplus – meaning any calls from apps that link to those libraries expecting the default open source decoder will instead get passed through MakeMKV's closed-source decoder – hence any video playback software which uses those libraries will automatically use MakeMKV's decoder and be able to play the latest titles.Chinese movie copy software developer DVDFab has acquired SoThinkMedia, another developer of software to make copies of DVD and Blu-ray discs. It's been in beta for several years already, so here's hoping they do a GMail. It will eventually become a paid app, but is free to use whilst in beta (requires entering a new temporary activation code every 30 days, found here. MakeMKV is an application that decodes Blu-ray and DVD disks and saves them to DRM-free files – they either have their own official decryption key or they have found one by hacking some OEM device and are keeping it unpublished to avoid it being revoked, and hence it can always decode the latest titles. There is also a 'fork' of K9Copy available. There are many posts on this in this forum already. If you run ' inxi -Fxzd' from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.ġ.) I am surprised that nobody mentioned, or you did not easily come across posts on, 'MakeMKV' which is an excellent application to backup your DVD/Blu-Ray discs. It would help to know more about your system setup. I just read your post and the good replies to it.
