Running makemkv-1.14.1 as follows: makemkvcon mkv dev:/dev/sr0 0 . fails to execute ccextractor: MakeMKV v1.14.1 linux(x64-release) started Using direct disc access mode Title #1 has length of 11 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped Title #2 was added (33 cell(s), 1:53:22) Title #3 has length of 114 seconds which is less than minimum title length of 120 seconds and was therefore skipped Operation successfully completed Saving 1 titles into directory . Unable to execute external program 'ccextractor' as its path is not set in preferences Failed to execute external program 'ccextractor' from location '/usr/bin/mmccextr' LIBMKV_TRACE: Exception: Error while reading input Failed to save title 0 to file ./title_t00.mkv 0 titles saved, 1 failed Copy complete. 0 titles saved, 1 failed. I was able to fix it as follows: emerge media-video/ccextractor export MMCCEXTRACTOR=/usr/bin/ccextractor makemkvcon mkv dev:/dev/sr0 0 .
I'm having trouble reproducing this. Perhaps the right blu-ray is needed. I can see that ccextractor is sometimes used so I can add it as a dependency but unfortunately this is in the closed part of the code so I don't know the details. Is the MMCCEXTRACTOR variable really necessary? Does it not try "ccextractor" from the PATH? I think it at least tries "mmccextr" from the PATH so I could add a symlink. Could you please test this?
I omitted to mention it was an NTSC DVD, not a Blu-ray. My apologies. ccextractor is in my PATH: % which ccextractor /usr/bin/ccextractor But makemkv does not find it without setting MMCCEXTRACTOR. Happily creating the mmccextr symlink does fix the problem: % ls -l /usr/bin/mmccextr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Nov 16 20:13 /usr/bin/mmccextr -> ccextractor It is possible that MMCCEXTRACTOR can also be set in one of the ~/.MakeMKV settings files, but it is seemingly undocumented anywhere. I only discovered MMCCEXTRACTOR by running the strings command over the makemkvcon binary.
