MakeMKV is free while in beta


where it always is.You should bookmark it if you rely on the beta key.

I'm just checking in to see if the beta key has been renewed yet. Also, I saw somewhere on this site that someone posted a workaround that resets the date of the MakeMKV app. If that is a valid temporary workaround, can someone please point me to it? Best, Stephen MakeMKV is free while in beta

MKVToolNix worked fine for me. I did get an error playing back the combined MKV file on the Zidoo when it got to the part for that would normally require a switch to the second disc. Upon further investigation, I needed to use MKVToolNix to edit the chapter numbers as it was going back to chapter 1...

Looks to me as though you missed a portion of the key... my permanent key begins w/ 'M-...", while the temp keys seem to begin w/ 'T-...'. Use the complete string.

Conventional wisdom is to recommend cleaning the disc gently, no matter how pristine it may appear to your eye. This may/may not help. Another thing to try is loading an older version of MakeMKV (v1.6.7?, see sig for link). This may prove problematic if you don't have a permanent key. In that case, ...

Hi, not sure if anyone can advise me. I ripped a UHD disk the other day. The issue was the mkv image came out at 65 gb. I am new to makemkv, so not sure if I'm doing something wrong in the settings. Also what is the best software to shrink the mkv file down to a reasonable size and doesn't take muc...

I have a DVD set of Seasons 1 & 2 of Andor, and while MakeMKV is doing everything I expect with the Season 2 disks, I have come across a strange issue with the Season 1 disks. Basically, it goes through the check phase of the disk, but is only finding the first episode on each disk. For example...

Hi all, So I got my first UHD 4k bluray a few weeks ago, and ordered an external drive, a verbatim uhd 4k drive. Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BU40N Bus Encryption Flags: 17 It came with firmware 1.05. I did some reading and ended flashing 1.03-MK as that seemed to be what everyone was reco...

I installed the MakeMKV-Loader yesterday or the day before, and now my PC is swarming with viruses. Thank you, I guess I'll spend the night doing a complete reinstall of my system. Weird, it doesnt require an install. Wonder what you downloaded lol You're right, I did not install anything, just dow...

Hi, I recently set up ARM and i keep running into key errors. the BETA key always returns as invalid and i the option to buy a key doesnt appear to be working currently. Any idea how i can purchase a key or get the beta key working? many thanks Have you applied the recently updated beta key? The pr...

I am running the Linux version of MakeMKV. I only got about 5 days of usage out of it, rather than 30. Paypro Global isn't working. When I attempt to purchase a key, I get a webpage saying: Paypro Global The action is temporarily unavailable If the author of this otherwise great program is reading ...

Yeah does no good at all due to the program actually not working anymore not even with the time trick so hinestly this program is dead due to it being hosted in Russia

And yet, there are numerous reports to the contrary. Plenty of reading material if you are up to it.

For those of us that have paid for MakeMKV and have full licenses, if "Mike" doesn't show back up and is unable to create volume keys for newly released Blu-ray or UHD titles, how do we point MakeMKV to new title volume keys? How does one create new volume keys for newly released titles? ...

Hi, I'm new to all this, would like a beta code or even buy. All I need for now is to get the info from my drive to see if I can get a firmware update to pioneer 211. Nothing seems to be working no beta key for August and even the payment site is down to purchase perm key. Set your system date back...
