Thanks for the reply. I've sent my files over to the address you included.

How would I submit my files to the KeyDB people?

See the first post over in the Public KeyDB Disc Submissions thread.

Reboot a computer is still, sadly, a viable strategy to fix a malfunctioning machine.

wait do i have to use 1.0 firmware?

I believe you could if you like.

The Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide suggests 1.02MK firmware.

I'm not sure what you mean by "xfi gateway". Does xfi mean Xfinity/Comcast? In the past, people with Xfinity have had to turn off 'advanced security' to be able to download hashed keys.

This line in your log is important: Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed. MakeMKV tries to download the necessary hashed keys when it needs to decrypt a 4K UHD (and AACS v82 regular blu-rays). That line in your log indicates that there was a failure when it tried to download keys. The serv...

On MacOS the keyDB goes in whatever directory is configured for MakeMKV's 'data directory'. You can find this location on the General tab of MakeMKV's preferences. Put the file in there and restart MakeMKV.

MakeMKV should've made the dump the first time you tried to rip the disc. It'll be a .tgz file located in the 'data directory' that's configured for your MakeMKV (listed on the General tab in MakeMKV's preferences). It should've also mentioned it made the dump file and where it went in the log when ...

Regular blu-rays that use the latest version of encryption, AACS v82, have to be handled similar to 4K UHDs and slightly differently than regular blu-rays with older versions of encryption. MakeMKV supports two different disc decryption mechanisms. The built-in mechanism is called hashed keys and it...

It might say that if you're trying to use MakeMKV to play your blu-ray. Try using VLC to play the .mkv file you created with MakeMKV.

Does anyone know if it is ok to flash on 1.18+ on mac?

It is okay the flash a drive on the Mac with the most recent versions of MakeMKV.

blu-ray.com suggests that Interstellar has DTS audio. Not all players support DTS audio by default, most notably Windows Media Player. VLC supports most formats by default though. Give VLC a try and see if the audio works then. A handy utility called MediaInfo can show you lots of details about the ...

Thank you very much for your kind reply. So, if the user hadn't posted the data, there would have been no other way than just waiting for somebody to do it? The keyDB is one of two decryption mechanisms MakeMKV supports. The other is the automatically downloading hashed keys. Since MakeMKV couldn't...

can this drive burn DVD+R DL discs? cuz i have been unsuccessful so far.

This probably isn't the forum to ask about burning discs. Most of the discussion here is about reading discs, not burning them.

Out of curiosity, why are you trying to burn a disc?

I recently installed MakeMKV on a new Mac. The default Data Directory is /Users/<your username>/Library/MakeMKV

You can right-click and choose unselect all to do what you're asking for.
