Just a note - Bluray uses PGS graphic format for most subtitles. It's similar to, but not the same as, the VOBSUB format of DVD default subtitle format. And, as pointed out, MakeMKV doesn't convert graphic subtitle formats, just the closed-caption, text-based format that (some) DVDs have. There ARE ...

Is that your defined MakeMKV user directory? It is generally considered a temporary directory, which is why it is emptied out.

Your MakeMKV data directory (where the file should go) is defined in Preferences->General, MakeMKV data directory. This is where you should place the keydb.cfg file.

Uploading here makes it available (temporarily!) to people other than the author of MakeMKV. It will be removed after they've had a chance to download it. We do not store it "forever" like some sites do.

Without knowing what system you're talking about (Linux? Mac? Windows?) and what software you're trying to use, it's impossible to give you a definitive answer.

As a caution, you need to make sure your minimum rip size is set the same as the poster's. MakeMKV numbers the titles according to where they're found after the time is taken into account. If you have 120 seconds vs the default 30 seconds set, anything less than 120 seconds long will not be included...

Firmware date: 2023-01-06

Too late - the firmware is already screwed up, locked by Pioneer to prevent use for UHDs.

If it is a Pioneer drive and has firmware dated on or after 12/22/2022, it won't work and cannot be flashed. Prior to that date, it can work. But Amazon hasn't had older drives for some time.

It depends on the drive. Most that were cabled for USB1 or 2 hubs have a two-head cable. Both need to be plugged into independently-powered ports (usually on your computer, not on a "passive hub" without a power supply). If the hub HAS a power supply, you can plug both into it and it shoul...

The error is much like the errors seen when a disk is spun faster than it has power to spin. Is this a USB drive?

Question is, why? To save space, why are you creating an image of the disk via backup, rather than simply ripping the MKV files? And MKV files can be compressed using existing tools (like handbrake) to make them much smaller.

At the end of the rip, does the message say the file was written? You're listing a message that usually indicates a correction was made to a timing issue on the disk, not a error message as in "the rip failed!!!!"

Drive platform: MT1939

That hardware won't do UHD.

Are you trying to rip a UHD disk? If so, the firmware is too new. Pioneer disabled UHD ripping in December of 2022, and all drives built after that won't (currently) work.

Depends on the firmware. If it has firmware dated 12/22/2022 or later, it won't do UHD. Prior to that, it will work. But buying through Amazon pretty much means you're going to get the latest (incompatible) firmware.
