I have the ASUS BW-16D1HT and Windows Explorer just crashed while using CloneBD with already unprotected discs, so I believe this is BD-RW drive related!

Re: Windows Explorer Crash
What I just now realized is we haven't mentioned what UHD friendly drive we have, as this could be the common denominator/culprit!

Re: Windows Explorer Crash
Unfortunately, same results. It was already on 1024, but then I tried dropping it to 768 and it kept happening during my rips. I will keep tinkering with these settings and report back if anything worked or fixed the issue. Thanks for the update! I also thought I'd mention that I'm not as faithful ...

Re: Windows Explorer Crash
Hey guys. I'm also having this problem on Windows 11. Even after the update to 1.18.3, it's still occurring. The only thing I saw worth trying is to limit the RAM usage, but I haven't had a chance to try it as I only use the Beta and it hasn't been updated, yet. This was the suggestion to prevent M...

Re: Windows Explorer Crash
This is literally the ONLY reason I have NOT purchased this software!
However, I will say since this software is the only choice for people who wish to archive their purchased 1080p and 4K Blu-ray discs, it is well worth the asking price.

Re: Issue with two drives
I had the same problem just now after adding new hdd's to the PC which led to my switching around which SATA ports I was using for each device. There's a mix of SATA 2 and SATA 3 ports on the board. Upstream these are handled by different chipsets. When I plug the optical drive into the SATA 2 port...

Re: Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
I actually don't play anything through VLC. I first convert movies I own to a smaller HEVC file with BDRebuilder and then play that through MPC-HC, JRiver, or Kodi on my HTPC. Ah, OK. I am unfamiliar with this approach, and have naively been assuming that you are using MakeMKV to process your BluRa...

Re: Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
I just played it on my dedicated Dynex Blu-ray player that actually circumvents Cinavia (I haven't heard anyone talk about that in a while :lol:). Just checking, but have you added the full path to your VLC.exe into MakeMKV's "View/Preferences/Integration" tab? (I use Linux myself, but I ...

Re: Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
Dude, the content is AMAZING! I prize it as the best gift my brother has given me. :D Is it playing in VLC now? Or are you using your dedicated BluRay player instead?

Re: Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
I really do appreciate all of this detailed information, but I don't ever remember needing to do any of this to get a new Blu-ray to be read in the past. MakeMKV's implementation of libaacs (which is libmmbd.so.0 on Linux) should be able to decrypt any standard BluRay automatically, which is presum...

Re: Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
Will providing the discatt.dat help here? discatt.dat is a binary file, and it should contain the disk's Volume ID (VID). However, you would also need the disk's Media Key (MK) to convert the VID into a Volume Unique Key (VUK). And so discatt.dat isn't useful on its own. Have you installed the aacs...

Re: Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
There should be enough publicly available device keys and host certificates on the Internet for libaacs to play any "standard" (i.e. non-UHD) BluRay. Obviously I cannot post any of those here though. Having said that, MakeMKV also contains an implementation of the libaacs ABI which VLC sh...

Microphone Check Blu-ray - Not Playable
I just received a new, rather unknown Blu-ray called Microphone Check: The Hidden History of Hip Hop that is definitely not in the database. I was able to copy it with MakeMKV to my desktop, but there is no way to play or convert it. What do I need to do to get this done? Is there some type of file ...

Re: Win explorer crashes when I navigate to folder with MKVs?!?
Unfortunately, Windows Explorer still crashes with MakeMKV for me. :roll: And to be clear, BDRebuilder , DVDFab, and AnyDVD HD don't do this! I just don't understand with all of this overwhelming evidence that it's clearly MakeMKV and not something amiss with our computers that it hasn't been fixed,...
