HandyMKV: Automation Tool for MakeMKV and HandBrakeCLI Disc Ripping and Encoding
By
geerlingguy
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
HandyMKV is an automation tool that simplifies the process of ripping discs using MakeMKV and encoding the resulting files with HandBrakeCLI. The creator developed it to address the time-consuming, disjointed, and error-prone nature of manually performing these tasks, particularly for headless servers without a GUI interface. The tool aims to provide a more user-friendly experience and enable offloading of the ripping/encoding process from desktop computers to home servers.

I wanted a tool that would automate the process and provide a more user-friendly experience.
Additionally, I wanted to offload the process from my main desktop computer to my home server which is headless and does not have a GUI.
