I bought The Hunger Games box set from CEX, here's my experience. Disk 1 - The Hunger Games Ripped but I needed to use AnyDVD due to MakeMKV not having the hash key , I'll email all the dumps to Mike so he can add them to the hash keys Disk 2 - Catching Fire Same as disk 1 Disk 3 - Mocking jay part ...

I ripped mine yesterday, though the hash key(s) wasn't valid, I had to use a combination of AnyDVD and MakeMKV. Once the correct hash was in memory MakeMKV had no issues.
Good luck, it's an 85GB disc.

I'm using the Asus 16D1HT (Rev 3.01) drive BTW and makemkv 1.12.0

I've just installed the trial of AnyDVD and it's decrypted Interstellar that MakeMKV couldn't. So now with AnyDVD running Make MKV is ripping the disk at last. Is there a way for me to retrieve the hash key this way? BTW MakeMKV didn't have a hash for this disk... must be another batch with new keys.

how difficult is it to retrieve a key from the dump? I've read elsewhere that Mike says that it's "not trivial", so what's involved?

Cheers TeddyRaspin, I'll stick at this then

For playback try the new VLC 3.0, it supports up to 8K HDR hardware playback, this should solve your playback problems.

I've got the Asus BW-16D1HT, running FW 3.01

Do I need to downgrade? I ask because you have an excellent tutorial, but no information why I need too.

I know it's probably around here somewhere though...

This will create a matroska file but I think it compresses it, it's free so give it a go.

I'd love to buy it but I find £50 a bit of a stretch, £25 yes without hesitation.

Don't get me wrong, it's worth £50, I just can't afford that much in one go.

Try this and it's free

It will convert MCV or rip directly from BD if it's not encrypted, if it is combine MakeMKV with DBtoAVCHD

try mkv2vob by 3ric That will rip the audio and video out of the MKV and it creates a new file that the PS3 can regonise, usually an MP4. It's free, normally it takes about 5-10 minutes, sometimes it will transcode the audio and take a little longer. Until I got my WDTV that's what I used to do to M...
