Re: LibreDrive and Encryption?
if the bus encryption is done on the fly anyway, why would the bus encryption key be based on a private key and the VID anyway (and where's the public key in the equation) wouldnt it be more secure to just encrypt it with a random key generated each time a disc is inserted and providing players wit...

Re: LibreDrive and Encryption?
so if I understand it correctly the bus encryption isnt a thing done to the bluray disc itself that the drive decrypts if allowed but rather just encrypts but software that is allowed can also get a copy of the key and libredrive just skips that entirely? if the bus encryption is done on the fly any...

Re: LibreDrive and Encryption?
okay but is an encrypted backup that basically just floats there without any thing being able to be done with it useful for anything? I'd assume that generally when backing up you'd make a decrypted one that you can actually use, or as the program's own name implies, make an MKV for easy playback, w...

LibreDrive and Encryption?
I read the what is LibreDrive thread but one question that I still dont exactly understand is, that is the issue of Encryption, or specifically how older MakeMKV versions are able to decrypt newer discs. As far as I have read LibreDrive primarily deals with the Bluray Drive's refusal to read certain...

Question about updates of AACS Versions.
The changelog when mentioning AACS version updates mentions things like "for the poor people without libredrive" can someone explain why aacs updates arent needed with libredrive? if a bluray needs new processing keys or whatever, why would just being able to bypass specific drive restrict...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
The modded firmware doesn't fix the sleep bug. The only modification is to enable Libredrive. None of the official BH16NS55 firmware versions fix the sleep bug either. sure the mod not but maybe (that was my hope at least) that the new version 1.05 might have done something is there a reason why th...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
is there a reason why the recommendation is to flash the fw of a different drive? seems weird to do that rather than to just use a modded fw intended for the drive. also the flasher I used is BH14NS40_N1.00-A4_patched.exe from over here: https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=18873...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
this seems to be something different than what I get, for starters I dont need a UHD disc or even a disc at all inside, and also while that UHD sleep bug can be fixed by cycling the tray, if my drive gets its bug the tray doesnt even open. That, I'm afraid, sounds like dodgy hardware. But I suppose...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
okay so no real reason to upgrade from 1.04 to 1.05 both modded? well I did already and I hope it closes that weird ultra annoying bug that sometimes the drive becomes totally unresponsive either spinning the disc or not and needing a full reboot to do stuff again (which is especially annyoing whil...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2021
are there changelogs? what changed between 1.04 to 1.05 on the BH16NS55? Have never seen a changelog for any of the UHD-capable drive FWs. Most obvious change for v1.05 was image encryption. My impression (only speculation w/out changelogs) is that most FW releases were intended to either close the...

also for some reason the flasher said it failed (from 1.04 patched) and something about emergency mode, yet seems to work fine.

Re: Kopierschutz entfernen um BD mit VLC wiedergeben zu können
okay das ist natürlich komisch, wobei die frage ist ob sich bspw Anydvd oder irgendwas einmischt, denn solange mmkv das laufwerk und die BD erkennt. ich hatte bisher verschiedene Laufwerke und jetzt sogar das gleiche wie du nur dass ich es UHD friendly geflasht habe. und ich habe auf einem PC auf de...

Re: Bought my key & paid, haven't recieved the key yet
you can easily setup a website with wordpress and woocommerce where licenses are automatically generated and put on the website for buyer's to retrieve from, so there is no waiting for an email from a third party, manual check or whatever. as far as I know avangate directly handles it all so either...

Re: Why do people remove serial numbers from logs?
maybe just for general privacy.
like these forums are public to view to anyone, in theory the content mafia might include serial number based blacklists or whatever and do bad stuff to BD drives.
it's genrally not an overly good idea to throw out info that might identify you around.

Re: Bought my key & paid, haven't recieved the key yet
just wanted to note that back when I ordered it, which granted was over a year ago but however it was flawless too to my gmail account, I dont remember whether or not the key was shown on the website straight after buying but sure might have been the case Regarding defenses of only one person sittin...
