I am having the same issue. Same LG model WP50NB40 but svc NB52. Tried to flash but only got a prompt with an error. Also, I'm new to MakeMKV (also Handbrake). Any help appreciated. Thanks! The guide says: NB52 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with enc > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK with bootloader/full flash > B...

The 1st post of the guide is the only part that is maintained & relevant. The rest is largely 'noise'. It contains links to FW & tools, instructional videos, recommended FW for supported drives & specifically, an example of the linux command line needed to flash your drive. Focus on the ...

I recently bought a Verbatim 43888 with a BU40N inside and I want to flash the 1.03MK firmware to permanently enable LibreDrive, as recommended by the UHD flashing guide. The only thing I can't seem to find a definitive answer to is whether I should flash the firmware encrypted or not. My guess is,...

Hi guys, I haven't been able to use MakeMKV for a few days now. Same problem that others have encountered with the old version. I tried using the key found on a specific page of the website (I think it's the beta key? https://www.makemkv.com/buy/) But the code tells me it's invalid. Does anyone hav...

Nope. That's the 1st course of action. The KeyDB is a new(-ish) alternative, which might get more immediate results.

You reference a year-old topic. Times change.

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...
