This now depends on libavcodec.so so when it needs to be rebuilded against new ffmpeg version you are forced to uninstall first otherwise the update will be blocked

I can confirm that a manual sudo modprobe sg was necessary to get makepkg to detect my DVD drive.

makemkv starts for me. But it sais "Downloading latest SDF to /home/user/.MakeMKV …", and after a while displays a popup "Fatal error occurred, program will now exit." with the only button an "OK" exiting the program.

Get yourself downgrade and run
sudo downgrade glibc=2.35-6 lib32-glibc=2.35-6 gcc-libs=12.1.0-3 gcc=12.1.0-3
Be aware that this breaks stuff that relies on GLIBC_2.36 (e.g. systemd) so make sure to update afterwards.

Try using flatpak and the version distributed on flathub. This works well for me. I just successfully ripped a DVD with it.

@chowbok You're absolutely correct. I deleted my comment to not lead to misinformation.

Don't see how a change in the headers could affect an already-compiled application.

I also downgraded gcc, gcc-libs, and llvm-libs.

@bickman2k how did you downgrade it ?
I couldn't do it with pacman -U glibc-2.35-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from the cache
so I went with the pacman -Syyuu after editing pacman 's mirrorlist to arch back in time
Using Flatpaks from Flathub I was able to restore a fully functional MakeMKV/VLC system. MakeMKV rips disks just as well as ever, and VLC actually plays Blu-rays with menus better than ever. Note that the repeated execution of "flatpak install vlc" is not a mistake. Each time you execute the command a list of options is presented, and my instructions tell you which one to choose.
First install flatpak:
sudo pacman -S flatpakNow reboot.
Install MakeMKV (choose "app/com.makemkv.MakeMKV/x86_64/stable"):
flatpak install makemkvInstall VLC (choose "app/org.videolan.VLC/x86_64/stable"):
flatpak install vlcInstall VLC MakeMKV plugin (choose latest version from list like "runtime/org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.makemkv/x86_64/3-21.08"):
flatpak install vlcInstall VLC Java plugin (choose latest version from list like "runtime/org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.bdj/x86_64/3-21.08"):
flatpak install vlcInstall VLC FDK-AAC plugin (choose latest version from list like "runtime/org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.fdkaac/x86_64/3-21.08"):
flatpak install vlcThat's it. MakeMKV/VLC should now run just as if they'd been installed normally. Except, like I said earlier, Blu-rays with menus actually seem to work better in VLC now.
