Any suggestions for ripping DVD-R’s?

I purchased the Doug Animated TV series from eBay and when I received it I saw that they are DVD-R’s. Some tracks ripped, but I gave up after a few errors. I get a message that the discs were created with DVDFab. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20260424 ...

Ok so when I tried to run this from the MakeMKV console, I thought this meant that since the Host Keys automatic download failed that it was looking al the KEYDB.cfg file instead. If this is not the case, I'm going to try to get this work on my Windows machine instead.

Thanks, I finally got it working!

Ok thanks for the feedback. I placed the file in the correct directory and now and it is seeing it, but I'm still getting the same error. Then when I reviewed the Disc ID entry it says "NOTVALIDATED". Could this be the issue?


That has nothing to do with it. But I'm telling you right now, "I ...

MakeMKV isn't finding your keydb.cfg file. You need to know what the data directory is defined as and put the keydb.cfg in that directory. Sometimes it needs to be named KEYDB.cfg as on Linux case is not optional.

I believe all other submissions have also been processed.
Have you tried downloading the latest KDYDB.cfg file, copying it into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where ...

The Blu Ray seems to have a decryption key already.

Have you tried downloading the latest KEYDB.cfg file, copying it into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where MakeMKV also writes its TGZ dump files) and restarting MakeMKV?

I just tried that and it worked. Thanks!

That's an odd dump file. I was actually expecting a file called something like "MKB_v82_Yellowstone-_Season_5,_Part_2_-_Disc_1_4D38.tgz".

My bad, I looked in the wrong directory.

dump file attached.

Looks like it's choking on the CC track. Uncheck just that track & see if it rips?


Thank you, that worked. Can you tell me what you saw in the log to see the CC failing?

I keep receiving an error with DVD Project X. It looks like everything is going to finish fine then I always get the error that 0 files saved. I've also tried by backing up disc then ripping from the iso, to no avail.

This is what is written in the log
