A raw drive does what a raw drive is capable of. Libredrive loads new firmware into RAM to run the drive, so it is only active when Libredrive has been activated... after MakeMKV loads.

Guessing that people aren't reading the forum messages that explain about beta use...

MakeMKV is free while in beta

The current beta is more than 2 months old, so the key inside has expired. You need to use a current key with it.

Honestly, storing your data on any NAS with some kind of redundancy so that you're not going to lose it all with one bad hard drive will put you miles ahead of most. And, depending on your paranoia level, having off-site backup can be important. Having TWO servers stolen or involved in a fire at on...

Revision history MakeMKV v1.18.2 (25.9.2025) Improved handling for discs with mastering errors Small improvements and bugfixes So, according to the information, version 1.18.2 (as distributed) would expire in November of 2025; Operating it after that time (like NOW), would require the current beta ...

I also want it.

Providing your drive information, like what you quoted but for YOUR drive, would be helpful. Different drives need different updates.

All drives from Pioneer are now "old stock", since they aren't made anymore, so the key is finding ones made before the cut-off date.

Considering that there are several topics about this, why do you feel it is necessary to start number 12000?

Technically, you can't call ALL of the people "evil". But... Today's current statistics: In total there are 2012 users online :: 3 registered, 5 hidden and 2004 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes) Most users ever online was 12983 on Mon Jan 12, 2026 12:38 pm That's just ...

Is it possible to post the names of the disks? It could be that others have reported them...

Important stuff is in the first couple of messages, which are edited if things change.

You realize that, if you purchase something from Microsoft "to support the author" of a program the author gives for free, you are supporting Microsoft, rather than the author?

In most cases, the key should arrive as fast as your email service processes messages. That is, most likely within a few minutes. It is probable that any delay beyond that is part of your filtering, i.e., if your email is filtered for spam, it may have been treated as such and stuffed into a special...

MKBv82 is a case where you need the decryption key for EVERY DISK, which is why you can't arbitrarily decode them. Submitting your file to svc@makemkv.com is the official way, and sending a copy of the file to the keydb people is an alternative method.

Given that dozens of disks come out each week, knowing WHAT disk you're referring to would be helpful to anyone needing to know if their disk has been submitted.
