Thanks. I'm curious to learn how you know it is an LG drive.

Coopervid made that determination based on the drive platform of MT1959.

ASUS doesn't actually manufacture their own optical drives; they buy a drive from an OEM (LG in this case) and put their own logo and firmware on it.

This thread will provide more details: Blu-rays with extra video in m2ts files

I'd suggest getting MediaInfo , a free utility to show you details about .mkv files. I find it to be a valuable tool. Since MakeMKV is just copying the bits on the optical disc into a new container, the .mkv file, I'm sure MediaInfo will tell you that the resolution of the video in the .mkv file Mak...

Personally, I use a local external SSD as my work area when I'm ripping discs and making .mkv files. Only when I'm satisfied with my files do I bother to push them to my NAS. Reasonably sized reasonably fast external SSDs are reasonably priced these days.

Does power cycling the drive help?

People are submitting dumps MakeMKV automatically produces when a hashed key for a disc is not available to do...

I wonder if it would be easier to download French .srt subtitles for the movie in question? Many playback systems support .srt subtitles as a sidecar file in the same directory as the .mkv file containing the movie.

If it is working, leave it alone.

Usually when people make a post like that it means they've emailed the dump file MakeMKV has produced to svq@makemkv.com so a hashed key can be made available. Those posts are even more helpful if they include the name of the dump file they submitted. The hashed keys section of the UHD FAQ has more ...

I did end up getting a .tgz file submitted to the e-mail, the variant at the end was F421, not F420. That could be the issue?

Hello Standforme, what do mean NIB and NOS ?

I assume standforme means New In Box (NIB) and New Old Stock (NOS).

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...
