Re: Dump submitted for A League of Their Own

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.

Re: Dump submitted for A League of Their Own

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

2 Rips From 2 Different Drives of Same Disc - One works and One Doesn't?

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'...

Re: Aliens 4K (Ultimate Collector Edition)

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...

Re: Aliens 4K (Ultimate Collector Edition)

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.

Re: The Abyss 4K

^^ 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...

Re: The Abyss 4K

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...

Re: The Abyss 4K

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?

Re: Makemkv is useless

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...

This works but if you don't own AnyDVD this works as well:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=32784
I have not been able to get that to work. MakeMKV appears to completely ignore the keydb.cfg file. There have been others here who also can't get it to work.

Re: Makemkv is useless

You can always try this if Makemkv does not have your key yet: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=32784 I've tried FindVUK v1.72 and putting its keydb.cfg file into the C:\Users\USERNAME\.MakeMKV\ folder. It's not helping it decode any of the four discs with issues ripping. Ad...

Re: Columbia Classics Vol 4K Set - data dump submitted

So I ran FindVUK and generated a keydb.cfg file, copied it to ~\.MakeMKV but MakeMKV still says volume key unavailable. What am I doing wrong? Rename it KEYDB.cfg. Case appears to matter for some reason. Didn't work. I installed AnyDVD, pointed it to the keydb and now MakeMKV is ripping the titles....

Re: Columbia Classics Vol 4K Set - data dump submitted

The keys for all of these are in the most recent keydb. FYI, the Starman TV series is 1080p, but they crammed a lot of them on each disc with a fantastic clean up job.
