Unfortunately in my case the backup isn't successful, it bails out before it gets to the end of the disc.

I have a bunch of DVDs where attempting the "backup" function to make an ISO fails. The error message is simply "Backup failed", no other helpful info, even when using makemkvcon in debug mode. However, if you do a normal rip, ripping every single title to an mkv file, even if yo...

So, I guess the problem is not the region after all, it's just a bad disc. Other discs give the region message, but still rip OK. Is there a way to get a more verbose description of why a rip fails? "Rip failed" immediately after a region error really does imply that it's a region problem,...

I hooked up a WH16NS60 blu-ray drive which has LibreDrive firmware installed, and to my surprise, it did the same thing when ripping a DVD. It complained about region, and then failed. Surely LibreDrive drives shouldn't do that? MakeMKV even says "DVD all regions: Yes" in the drive info. W...

Do DVD drives being set to the wrong region still prevent MakeMKV from decrypting the disc? I have a small pile of LG GH24NSB0 and GH24NSC0 drives, and I thought I would use them to make a ripping machine, since I have a lot of DVDs. But the "Backup" function fails. It reads for a while, l...

I uninstalled the version from the openSUSE repo and installed the flatpak edition instead, and this works.

Just upgraded MakeMKV to 1.17.1 on openSUSE Tumbleweed and now it will not work. When running it, the main GUI appears, but is frozen. You can't resize the window or click any controls. After about 10 seconds, an error pops up, saying "Fatal error occurred, program will now exit." There is...

I haven't, no, but I'll give that a try next time. Thanks for the tip.

The BU40N is a slimline drive though, right? Wouldn't exactly fit well in my desktop PC case.

So far, I'm on my third WH16NS60 drive, and this too is dying. They work for ripping ~50 discs, and then they all start dying in the same way. They make a horrible grinding noise trying to read the disc, and then eventually fail to do so, sometimes claiming that there is no disc in the drive even wh...

I solved my own problem. This always seems to happens immediately after posting to the forum.

I had to flash with "rawflash enc", not just "rawflash". Now it's fine.

This is in the wrong forum, sorry. If an admin could move it to "UHD drives" that would be great. If not, I'll delete it and repost it.

After having killed my second optical drive through overuse I just bought a new WH16NS60. It came with stock 1.03. It won't accept new firmware. I've tried flashing it to 1.02, MK1.02, and MK1.03, but although the flash always "succeeds", the firmware in the drive never changes. Is there s...

Ah, please ignore this, I'm an idiot. I had "internet access" turned off in MakeMKV so it couldn't download new key things.

I turned it on and now it's fine.

Sorry, my fault.

This disc gives the error "The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted". I did Google this error, but the results say that this is what happens if you try to rip an ISO file, or a copy of a disc. But this is an original 4K blu-ray disc. Other discs rip OK. MakeMKV pr...
