Bad Windows driver maybe?
Can you try with Linux distro to see if those drives works beter there.

Still works great with Debian 13 Stable. Downloading and extracting with no errors. Wget 1.25.0-2 Tar 1.35+dfsg-3.1 sha256sum are: makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tar.gz c1ee720ae91b276a7c89be861146c5b934631831e8d6c8f453406435724e92bd makemkv-oss-1.18.3.tar.gz bc8bb084ae3aabcd503d5bb93efc273e046e4fd4663d39a9836c...

Both, bin and oss works fine on pure, real Debian.

Open Terminal and try with wget:

wget https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 8.3.tar.gz && wget https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 8.3.tar.gz

Backup your ./MakeMKV just in case and then delete the .MakeMKV derectory from you /home.
Open MakeMKV to see if that help.

"I also read, that MakeMKV isn't using the ~/.config/aacs database. Is that true?"

I think that AACS file (KEYDB.cfg) should be in .MakeMKV directory.

It looks like it is broken specifically when using Pioneer drives - and maybe only broken when using drives where the LibreDrive status is "Possible, not yet enabled". In that case, MakeMKV is supposed to generate a firmware dump that you can email to support so they can add LibreDrive su...

I have permanent key, since 2015 and MakeMKV works fine on Debian.

Maybe Leslie has no permission to write that "RAID/Server-Main..." drive? Sounds to me that only root have permission to write on that drive. You should first run older version to get firmware file. Bug in MakeMKV. You could compile that older version first or be lazy like me and just run ...

You need to extract also those tar files. Downloading with Firefox, the files are double compressed. (tar.gz and inside of that is .tar)
Some kind of bug in Firefox.

You can try to make iso image with gddrescue. sudo apt install gddrescue Next you can run lsblk to find your drive. Normaly it is /dev/sr0 To make iso image from disc: ddrescue /dev/sr0 dvd.iso dvd.log -b 2048 -n -v If dvd is copy protect, then you need also libdvd-pkg and lsdvd packages to open pro...
