I recently bought a collector edition boxed set of a 1970s martial arts series I love. I can't even play it in VLC, makemkv beta code situation is borked, and handbrake scans all the titles, then says there are none.

I have a local Plex server I wanted to use, no other devices that can play Blu-ray other than an external USB drive I just bought.

Any advice? The Linux box is on 22.04.

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

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.
