Cheers for that: I’ve just had the warning about failed HK downloading crop up.

Right … I owe several people — who shall remain nameless — a big thank you: as my copy of The Terminator now seems to be copying!

Thanks, everyone … !!!

(Now I know how to do these things? I can submit more dumps, as and when: I’ve learnt something as a result of this, so that’s no bad thing)

HI All, First time here. So im new to ripping Blu-ray but looking to get into it and have a couple of questions. From posts ive read UHD and Blu-ray dont seem to be the same thing are they different?

That folder contains no item called ‘keydb.cfg’

The idea is that you download KEYDB.cfg, copy it into that folder, and then restart MakeMKV. This allows MakeMKV to use KEYDB.cfg as a "fall-back" database.

Yep: no dice.

OK: I’ll give that a try, now

I take it you mean the one called ‘keydb.cfg - Language English (29218 entries)’? Yes. And would you know the path name for that folder? I can’t it, again! It's where MakeMKV writes its TGZ dump files, and is also visible in MakeMKV's "View/Preferences/General" tab as the "data direc...

I’m getting a touch anxious …  Have you tried downloading the latest KEYDB.cfg file, copying it into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where MakeMKV also writes its TGZ dump files) and restarting MakeMKV? It is possible that the public KEYDB may already contain your key... I take it you mean the one c...

Right: I’ve sent off the dumps from my last attempt: on the 23rd April. And still haven’t heard. I’ve tried again, today: on the assumption that the relevant update could have been done without my noticing. I’m retrying the 4k version, again, today, with a similar result to last time: “The volume ke...

Then it's blocked by your firewall / antivirus I suppose.

There’s possibly a lot I could say, there … 

But it’s not an issue, as far as I can tell

Read the Hashed Keys section of the UHD FAQ.

Cheers, DCoke: I’ve got those sent off.

I guess you haven't allowed internet access. UHDs need it.

Right … my system’s online … 

How do I make sure the software can access what it needs?

Right …  I’m trying to rip a 4K version of The Terminator: on a 2024 Mac mini with a PIONEER BD-RW BDR-UD04 branded as a Verbatim 43888.

Its ok. No problem With this update

Cheers, Jarek: that was worrying me … !

Apple has released macOS 15.4.1

Before I install it, are there any known issues … ?

It’s not going to cause a repeat of the Fatal Error Crash, is it?
