Glad you are back and recovering. This aging thing is definitely dangerous.

The SDFtool Flasher is meant to work with the "All You Need Firmware Pack". Either: 1. DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin 2. DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin should write to your drive. Use the "Write" option, not "Recovery". The "Revision: PA04" is strange but maybe something Panas...

If you want the LibreDrive benefits, then flash it to DE_LG_BP60NB10_1.02-MK.bin. Just download Marty's SDFtoolflasher and the "All You Need Firmware Pack" from https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896 and follow the instructions to write the MK firmware binary to you...

If you copy the registration key on a mac by double clicking it, on pasting it has a space at the end - and so doesn't allow you to click register You just have to delete the space at end - and then it works! The "Select all" in the Code block header always picks the correct key - with Wi...

Is your optical drive internal or external? If they are both external, they might be sharing power and starving the optical drive. Try using a USB 3 for the optical and USB 2 for portable HDD.

I use a portable HDD for all my rips without any problems.

So it's not 1.17.7.

Maybe try just copying individual titles. Sometimes DVD's print defective titles to hinder copying. It would be hard to squeeze more than three 45 minute titles on a DVD.

Hard to say without seeing any logs or knowing your operating system. If you are registered, then go to https://www.makemkv.com/download/old/ to download and test an earlier version.

I downloaded and moved said file, restarted MakeMKV, tried to open up the disc and ran into the same error again, indicating that 1) MakeMKV has successfully updated (navigating back to the .MakeMKV folder reveals the SDF.bin file is gone), and 2) this disc's hash keys remain unknown. At this point...

Thanks, you're right. I watched about 40 minutes of another BR disc with no problem.

Just noticed something strange. Tried to watch John Wick BR (a Lionsgate production) and it stopped at 3:36 and displayed the message below. I'm using Windows 11 Pro and VLC 3.0.18. The disc is a regular commercial disc ------------------------------------------------- Dear customer, The disc you've...

Isn't the optional "CdRom Device Arbiter" service supposed to allow MakeMKV to run without administrator privileges? There is a choice, normally checked, when you install MakeMKV. Only one user for me so I have administrator privileges.
