Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, MakeMKV Discounted Software £39.99, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!

I have bought Pioneer XD08TB from Asmcom and I have nothing but the highest regard for both the seller and the drive.

I already had a Verbatim 43888(BU40N) and I struggled with 4K UHDs. 4/10 UHD were erroring out, some of them errored out at the last minute and generally a PITA to deal with. I ...

Re: Public KeyDB Disc Submissions

Unfortunately the disc dump file will need to be recreated as the "Can't read AACS VID from disc..." error indicates that LibreDrive was not successfully activated. This means the resultant disc dump files won't contain the volume ID (VID) of your disc and this is required to derive the disc keys ...
