Ripping now - thx!

I have Pioneer drives and have been informed the dump file from those is insufficient

MKB20_v82_A_Working_Man_FA3E.tgz

Latest keyed worked for my US copy from Amazon

It decrypts with the latest keydb.cfg from this morning, but there is still no MakeMKV update for this disc on my system.

Just so folks aren't confused.

Also submitted same dump. Curious that there are several entries for this title in keyed.cfg but none match our particular disc.

I ripped the theatrical and special edition of Aliens 4K using my LG and one of my Pioneersm(MKV, not disc backup). Both drives completed with no errors other than a few "dropped 2 audio frames to maintain sync..." which seems to be completely normal for seamless branching titles. The MKV'...

Well this is interesting - both versions ripped with no errors on my LG but the resulting MKV's have playback glitches on my Zidoo Z9X. It will play fine for several minutes and then either freeze or pixelate and crash back to the title screen of the film. I have tried 2 or 3 other existing 4K MKV's...

so I just received my copy from DiabolikDVD. Instead of using one of my Pioneer drives, I used my LG as a test. Both cuts ripped fine, no issues.

I have no idea what is going on with these discs but my copies of The Abyss and Aliens have ripped fine.

^^ Check in the for sale part of the forum for a vendor in your location. They have Pioneer drives available. As for the anecdotal evidence, I'm the outlier in your observations. I have a bu40n, 212u, and 513u. Abyss failed in all of them. It also failed in my UB820. I'm still waiting for a replace...

So a few observations based on admittedly anecdotal evidence here and in the Abyss thread on blu-ray.com ... 1) I believe all but 1 failed attempt to rip this reported here were with LG or Asus drives. 2) there are very few, if any, reports of this disc not playing correctly in BDP's over at blu-ray...

Received my preorder from DiabolikDVD today. Ripped both the extended & theatrical versions with no errors other than a few audio skew issues typical of seamless branching titles in my experience (drops a couple audio frames to maintain sync). Using MakeMKV 1.17.6 on MacOS with a Pioneer UBR-S13...

It's helpful but ultimately unnecessary to have FindVUK. You can download the keydb directly from the website. FindVUK just makes it easier to keep it up to date.

So this kinda begs the question of why MakeMKV doesn't just download & use that key file directly instead of rolling its own?

Ah - found the URL in the ini file. Thx for the heads up for us Mac users

That makes the assumption that the .makemkv location hasn't been changed by the user. You should go into settings, general tab and see what the default directory is set to. And if it's not set, try setting it. Sent from my SM-S928U1 using Tapatalk AHA! It appears that somewhere along the line the M...
