That looks very much like an old DVD ripper (even the site) that was a joy to use. I don't remember the name, but if MakeMKV is as good as that, it'll be great.

No, although those were good too. I think it may have been called DVD decrypt?

Nowadays, it would be a 100MB Electron application that needs 300MB ram and an 4 core cpu to display a single window. Progress!

One of the reasons I love using Bvckup for my backups. It has this same style of interface.

Basically, though EAC had a harder job because AFAIK reading audio CDs isn't as exact as reading from a filesystem, so it had to do a ton of tricks to get accurate reads.
