Re: Thoughts and Prayers for MakeMKV - Vigil?

I take it you haven't read any of the month's more recent messages?

Re: This disc uses newer version of AACS protection.

A LOT of disks with AACS version 82 issues need to have keys added to MakeMKV. Submit the TGZ file to svq@makemkv.com for Mike to look at.

You may also wish to post it for the keydb people, so they can independently generate a key.

Re: purchased a key no longer works

If you PURCHASED and INSTALLED a non-beta key, it should work "forever". The archive that you download contains a beta key, and the one in it is already expired, but an installed version with a key already in place should work.

Re: Is MakeMKV Still Alive? Can't Buy License, Beta Key Expired

When did you last try buying a license? The beta key was renewed a month ago (it expires the end of this month) and buying a key was fixed at the same time. Any attempts since then should work just fine.

Re: Key error

what program do you want help with? The key for MakeMKV is valid for MakeMKV, not other programs. And this is the MakeMKV forum.

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

The beta version is the same program as the purchased version, except the key expires every 2 months. The key in the download expired back in July, for example, and there is a message that gets updated with a new key when the old one expires, but not instantly. Buying the program gets you a permanen...

Re: Source File is corrupt or invalid

You realise that VLC will skip over small bad spots, while MakeMKV wants solid copy, right?

Re: 300 fails to be recognized by computer completely

Different offsets often means the drive reached a speed that exceeded available power. Several ways to fix that, the "best" being to fully-power your drive.

Re: Jurassic Park III AACS dump

Attachment fail, likely due to size (4.0MB limit). Use email to svq@makemkv.com if you want to submit to MakeMKV directly, and post the file on a public download site and provide a link here for the keydb people.

Re: Is ASUS BW-16D1HT Pro capable for quality scanning?

Define "quality scanning". It either reads a disk, or it doesn't.

Re: Dump file for AACS v82 disc

So far, there is no way for anyone, especially the MakeMKV author, to determine just what disk you're referring to. Please put the disk NAME in the subject field, email the generated dump file (it will be bigger than 475 bytes!) to svq@makemkv.com, and (optionally) post it where it can be retrieved ...

Re: Software not working

There are quite a number of reports that the 1.18.x versions of MakeMKV have problems with many (most?) linux installs that are kept "up to date", due to library incompatibilities. The 1.17.x versions work better, and use the same beta key, stored here . Have you tried that? Hay varios inf...

Re: New Keys being issued?

The current beta key was replaced several weeks ago. At the same time, the issue with the key processor was resolved, and there have been a number of topics related to this.

The current beta key will expire at the end of this month.
