MakeMKV is in a semi-permanent Beta state, so you need to periodically
download new license keys from:
https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1053
but aside from that, it's easy to use, and is free and open-source.
Good luck with your family video preservation, and cheers.
How can it be open-source but also require a license key?
Free software is not necessarily free. Even when the sources are
released under a free software license (such as GPL), the compiled
versions can be charged. But anyone is free to get the sources and
compile them.
That said, MakeMKV is not a free software, and it is only partly
open-source. It's a freeware (for the DVD rip/decrypt part) and a
shareware (for the bluray rip/decrypt part).
Couldn't I, or
anyone else, just edit the license check code out then?
Indeed yes in the case of a free software (but no in the case of MakeMKV)
