Did you also make a copy of the TGZ available for the keydb people?

Current version is 1.18.4, but that's pretty much the same as all the 1.18.x versions this year.

For those who have not registered, you need to get a new key every two months, which is posted in the forum in this topic .

As a registered user, you can use any version that suits your needs; I ...

Apparently, yes. But, we don't have control over that (only Mike does), so we can only guess.

There is one person who can do anything about it. And he's not participated in any topic about it. Mike was last on the forum the day the key was updated.

A new key was posted yesterday, so that can be used to bring the beta back up. It hasn't changed in months, feature-wise, just needs to have the new key.

I suppose it would be BORING to look at the "Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2026" topic, which starts out with an updated list of what's available in UHD drives, when you can ask others to rehash it for you...

Current beta key listed here is good until the end of September, so that should take care of you while you send a note to support@makemkv.com to have Mike look up your full registration key.

Currently, you cannot. The link to the "buy" won't do it, and the author has said as much. Currently, you can only use the beta key , which expires in a few hours (unless Mike gets here and renews it).

Until it's re-issued, you are limited to setting your computer date to something before the end ...

Hello I am new to flashing drives, I am wondering if anyone has links to blu ray drives that can easily be flashed to uhd 4k blu ray,


On the 261st page of a topic that starts with a (maintained) current list of drives that can be updated to work with UHD, you ask about drives that can be ...

Does the location of the errors progress as the rip runs?

Quite often, a rip can produce a LOT of a/v sync errors, depending on how the disk is mastered. If they're all in one location, that usually means the drive is having trouble reading the disk. If, however, they progress ahead as you let the ...

I think you have the version number mis-remembered, since current is 1.18.4, in any case.

The main site may be down, but...

Registration is currently off-line in any case. The current beta key, which expires in a few days, can be found here , where it always is.

We are waiting to hear from Mike as to what's going to happen with registration, and he's the only person who can do anything ...

I doubt anyone "makes firmware"; they merely patch existing firmware to remove the "DO NOT DO THIS!!!" tests that the original firmware authors insert "for protection". That's why there are sooooo many versions out there on the net.

The dump needs to be sent via email to svq@makemkv.com for Mike to receive it.

You can additional upload a copy of it to a public site, like Google or ???, and post the link for the KeyDB people to see it, so it can be added to the public database.

What does this have to do with MakeMKV?

MakeMKV is used to READ disks, not write them. It's license has nothing to do with whatever software you're using.
