KBTWBA (either disc) wouldn't rip with lattest KEYDB downloaded.
Both discs ripped with alternate software but no Dolby Vision.

So I made an (unencrypted) backup of both discs and ripped from those, as suggested on these forums.

The rips were successful, registered as Dolby Vison on my TV via ...

Thank you for the link.

As we all know, storing our MAKE MKV files consumes a lot of space.

Hard drives (external or internsl, ssd or hdd) are skyrocketing in price.

Luckily I bought several 22 tb drives before the current pricing crisis, but they won't last forever.

Has anyone come up with a way to deal with ...

So, will sending the dump files from our non-working pioneer drives result in the drives working, eventually?

So, like, when?

Dump Submitted.

This new verbatim drive just ripped ...

I didn't want to speak for you but I was hopeful and that's good news.

Thanks for the update and your efforts.

I'm wondering: Will a new SDFtool Flasher be required to flash Pioneer drives?
I never had to flash my older (2022) Pioneer drive at all. It just worked.
I did flash my Buffalo / LG drives successfully with a UHD tool a friend actually found already installed on a used laptop he bought.
He still ...

Just to get this all straight. I just ordered this (it is on the MAKEMKV FORUM list)
