Simply try to rip the disc again. You may also notice in the log window when MakeMKV downloads the latest HK.

This led me to realize there's a new update to the MakeMKV software. Downloaded, and good to go! THANKS!

How do we check if it works, or has been validated (not sure the terminology)? I have the exact same dump.

Can you create a decrypted back-up of this disk?

Yes.
Aaaannnd, then it ripped successfully. IDK how, but all is well now! Thank you so much; I learned a lot!

Disk is validated and now exists in KEYDB.cfg, and is synchronized online. STILL can't rip.

Does MakeMKV allow you to create a back-up of your disk? (Obviously an encrypted backup, since you cannot decrypt the disk yet.) [/quote]I don't know, but I'll try now. I also just enabled "Log debug messages" in the "General" tab. Maybe that will help generate what you need. St...

What does MakeMKV's "Info" window say under "LibreDrive Information"? Does it say whether LibreDrive is enabled?

We shouldn't need to drill down into _private_data.tar at this stage.

Yes, LibreDrive is enabled

You have provided a file called _private_data.tar here. The MKB20_v77_Kill_Bill-_Vol_1_ABCD.tgz file (if it exists) would be in the same directory as _private_data.tar . A .tar file is a container, like a .zip file. I suspect that you have accidentally "opened" the .tar file and mistaken ...

Actually, I don't believe that TGZ dump file is intended for calculating decryption keys. The dump for "Kill Bill Vol1" should be called something like MKB20_v77_Kill_Bill-_Vol_1_ABCD.tgz, and if it's not present in the data directory then it's almost certainly because MakeMKV hasn't crea...

Hmm, this dump file contains much, much less than it should... Is this the only TGZ dump you have? Yes. This is the first rip I've done since I reloaded Windows and MkMkV. I had the same issues before my reload with this disc. I also closed the program before I went looking for the file. Does it er...

Is there a file called (e.g.) MKB20_v77_Kill_Bill-_Vol_1_ABCD.tgz in MakeMKV's data directory? You can see where MakeMKV's data directory is by looking in MakeMKVs View/Preferences/General menu dialog.

yes!

Do you have a TGZ dump file for your disk that you could share please, either as an attachment or via a download link? This might allow The Powers That KEYDB to support your disk.

Not sure how. Can you point me to a tutorial, and I'll get it posted right away?

I've tried to rip two different copies of the UHD version also. No luck.
DL'd keydb.cfg, also
K.B. Vol. 2 ripped with no issues. Any ideas how to get K.B. Vol. 1 happening?

Yeah happens all the time but before you throw it away fully turn it off completely power off your computer and unplug it or unplug the drive case if external. It's internal. :( Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. It just stopped working with no system changes whatsoever. If "happens all th...

I have LG WH16NS40 I downgraded to firmware 1.02 a couple of years ago and it has worked flawlessly since to rip hundreds of discs. I tried today though, and MkMkV doesn't see that a disc has been inserted. MkMkV does still identify the drive, and the correct firmware though. My system is also unabl...

Did you end up just checking the box for the 4th PGS English subtitles and skipped the PGS English forced only?

Image link broken.
I checked boxes for everything. Then I went through and figured out which one had the subtitles.
