No, i mean, bluray DRM is partly bound to keys and the player. Even blurays from 2020 often fail with libbluray and a newish player. I see no way to rip a pre-release bluray.
DVD is a bit more tame with only CSS and no BD+ VM on the drive.
For Details, look here.
MakeMKV? I don't understand.
With libredrive flashed on your player. Let the player decrypt for you, and then copy the decrypted stream, no need to break any encryption...
I wish it wasn't so ungodly difficult to flash a drive in Linux. Proper documentation would be nice too. I do have a flashed drive however.
