I have four 4K titles ordered from Barnes & Noble that should arrive in the next day or two, and I'll let you know if I have any trouble. In the meantime, the last batch I ripped (also from B&N) was during the previous Criterion sale in July, and I don't remember having any trouble with them...

So nobody plays off optical any more? The movies I care enough about to have on UHD.... I dunno. I can't bring myself to re-encode those. Big hard drives are available relatively cheaply. In the USA, I see a 24TB Seagate Barracuda drive is available for $300 at NewEgg. It's a little more expensive ...

Somewhat off topic, but I'm curious what people use, if anything, for UHD playback solutions for ripped/duplicated (decrypted) discs? I use Plex. I don't like the recent UI updates, but it's still a good solution that gives you all the benefits of a paid streaming service using your own content. An...

These are from the Imprint (Australian) set of disks for seasons 7 and 8 of Bewitched . Two different season 8 dump files have names claiming to be from disk #2, but one (Disc_2_C908) is actually from the third disk. Also, strangely enough, disk #4 of season 8 ripped fine, which is why there are onl...

Prior to posting this question, I searched for this message in the forum and didn't hit any previous posts, however, since posting this, I did find someone had posted a similar message previously and yes, it appears that my discs are counterfeit. Yeah, I've run into this too, and it's always DVD se...

Is it reasonable to expect that at some point (in the hopefully not too distant future) we will see the encryption keys included in MakeMKV? I downloaded the latest keydb.cfg (dated October 23, 2025) and ripped all five disks with no problem yesterday, so it looks like the keys are included in the ...

I have the latest keydb.cfg, but can't open the disk.

Yep, that did it. Thanks.

Dump submitted for Shout Factory's Scent of a Woman and attached here.

The result looked basically brand new to my eyes. And voila - MakeMKV read and ripped with no errors. Good work; I'm genuinely impressed by your effort and success! So far, my problem disks have been ones that were relatively inexpensive to replace via eBay, but your approach is definitely somethin...

According to Keepa, Amazon hasn't been selling those first two titles ( Red Dwarf and Are You Being Served Again? ), at least not for years, so I suspect you got them from third-party sellers. I've bought hundreds of DVDs and Blu-Rays from Amazon over the years, both movies and television shows, and...

What do you mean by "pledge"? Use liquid soap and warm water.

Pledge is a household cleaner/polish product sold in the United States and often used for furniture.

Glad to help.

It sounds like your optical drive is DRM locked into a region that's different from the disk's region. I don't know if new drives still do this because it's been a long time since I last bought an optical drive I didn't flash. The last I knew of, though, there was a counter that was incremented each...

No, Plex won't use the menu file at all, so you should just delete it. Plex looks at what's included in the container (MKV file in this case) to determine what audio tracks are available. In all likelihood, both audio tracks are included in the main feature's MKV file, in which case Plex will detect...
