+MakeMKV converts video that you own into a free and patents-
+unencumbered format that can be played everywhere. It converts the
+video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) discs into a set
+of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any
+way. MakeMKV can also instantly stream decrypted video without
+intermediate conversion to a wide range of players, so you may watch
+Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your favorite OS
+or on your favorite device.
+
+This package can optionally spoof libaacs and libbdplus, decrypting
+discs through MakeMKV instead. To enable this, pass FAKELIBS=yes
+to the script. Installing such a package will override existing
+libaacs and libbdplus libraries; if you choose to spoof them, the
+real libraries should not be installed.
+
+Note that recent versions of MakeMKV may require loading the 'sg' kernel
+module to properly detect your optical drive. You may wish to add the
+following line to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local:
+
+ /sbin/modprobe sg
+
+See README.issues for further discussion of MakeMKV.
