I simpy don't know how to use the keyDB. I downloaded the database but Couldn't open it. Just tried backing it up again and still doesn't work The file you downloaded should've been a .zip file. Inside that zip file should be one big text file. … Also please advise exactly where to save the keydb.c...

Regarding Plex and PGS subtitles, it depends on the capabilities of the client as wmcclain's Grok output indicates. I use the Plex app on an AppleTV 4K and it displays them using Direct Play (without transcoding).

Got it. Thanks! I was wondering about this drive as I've seemed to find an issue with it MakeMKV. Tried an encrypted & decrypted rip of a regular Blu-ray disc, no problem. :D Tried an encrypted rip of a UHD disc, no problem. :D When I attempt a decrypted rip of a UHD disc, they all come with th...

I'm brand new to the Forum, I've ripped many discs but I can't rip Lethal Weapon. Sorry, I'm a complete novice but how do I get the key and apply it?

Are you trying to rip the 4K UHD of Lethal Weapon? What is MakeMKV telling you? Can you post the log?

In 2023, I purchased MakeMKV permanently (for my iMac) for ripping blurays. This week, I made major updates to my iMac. Now, when I try to open MakeMKV, I get a message saying "Fatal Error." What is going on? What should I do? Thanks. What updates did you do? And what version of MakeMKV a...

My minimum title length is set to 15 seconds I think. I generally grab all the useful content from a disc, like any behind-the-scenes stuff or deleted scenes and the like. Plex has a decent way to surface those on a movie's landing page making them easy to access and watch. It is a little extra work...

By default, the built-in key mechanism MakeMKV uses is hashed keys . When you temporarily disabled your firewall rule, MakeMKV downloaded updated hashed keys. As far as I'm aware, the only way to get them is to let MakeMKV download them when needed. In addition to hashed keys, MakeMKV can also use t...

Personally I don't want an .iso and I'm annoyed that DVD backups automatically create them. :) I don't want the disc structure… I want the content in .mkv files. I think it is unlikely that 99.9% of people making backups want an .iso, although I'm not opposed to it as an option. Why do you want an ....

Can you post the MakeMKV log from trying to rip the disc?

Often the problem is the disc is dirty and can't be properly read by the optical drive. Gently cleaning the disc and trying again helps sometimes.

Clicking on the feature title in one of my backups, I'm seeing it links to a .mpls, not a .m2ts. The .m2ts file(s) are listed on the segment map line. Even if it did show the correct .m2ts, how does opening the .m2ts in VLC help me know with certainty the audio track order in the MakeMKV left hand ...

Did you also email the dumps to svq@makemkv.com?

Did you email the dumps to svq@makemkv.com?

Are you intending to post them in the Public KeyDB Disc Submissions thread?

How do you create UDF 2.5 with hdiutil? There's no switch for that in man hdiutil. Or in hdiutil create -help. Does hdiutil have different switched with different OS versions? I'm now at Ventura. I'm running on an Apple Silicon Mac with Sequoia 15.6.1. The help for hdiutil makehybrid only mentions ...

Wrong, macOS has supported UDF 2.50 from 10.5 (2007).

What native macOS tool or utility can create UDF 2.5 ISOs?

If you've emailed it, in a few days a hashed key will likely be available and all you have to do is try to rip your disc again. If a key is available MakeMKV will download it and let you rip the disc. Unfortunately you can't know how long it'll take for a hashed key to be made. If you don't want to ...
